Fallout fans can rejoice, as news of the recently released series has been renewed for a second season from Prime Video. Curious to know our thoughts on the first season? Check out our written review here, and our video review here.

The series is based on the popular Bethesda Softworks game franchise. Series showrunners are Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner and it is produced by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. 

“Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have captivated the world with this ground-breaking, wild ride of a show. The bar was high for lovers of this iconic video game and so far, we seem to have exceeded their expectations, while bringing in millions of new fans to the franchise,” Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke said in a statement. “The cast led by Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan have knocked it out of the park. We’d like to thank Jonah and Lisa and our friends at Bethesda for bringing the show to us, as well as Geneva and Graham for coming aboard as showrunners. We are thrilled to announce season two after only one week out and take viewers even farther into the surreal world of Fallout.”

In Fallout, Ella Purnell is Lucy, an optimistic Vault-dweller with an all-American can-do spirit. Her peaceful and idealistic nature is tested when she is forced to the surface to rescue her father. Aaron Moten is Maximus, a young soldier who rises to the rank of squire in the militaristic faction called Brotherhood of Steel. He will do anything to further the Brotherhood’s goals of bringing law and order to the wasteland. Walton Goggins is the Ghoul, a morally ambiguous bounty hunter who holds within him a 200-year history of the post-nuclear world. Lucy, Maximus and The Ghoul meet when chasing an artifact from an enigmatic researcher that has the potential to radically change the power dynamic in this world.
