Press Release
Fallout is poised to come back with a bang, now that Prime Video‘s video game adaptation has been renewed for Season 2.
The news comes just over a week after Season 1’s eight-episode release, which in its first four days, Prime Video claims, emerged as one of the service’s top three most-watched titles ever — and the most-watched season globally since Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Based on the popular video game series, Fallout is set 200 years after the apocalypse, where Lucy (played by Yellowjackets‘ Ella Purnell) — a denizen of a luxury fallout shelter (“vault”) — finds her peaceful nature tested when she is forced to the surface to locate her father (Twin Peaks‘ Kyle MacLachlan). Aaron Moten (NeXT) plays Maximus, a young soldier rising in the ranks of the militaristic Brotherhood of Steel, while Walton Goggins (Justified) plays Western star Cooper Howard and his post-apocalyptic persona The Ghoul, a morally fluid bounty hunter. The three parties collide when chasing a researcher (Evil‘s Michael Emerson) who is in possession of an artifact that has the potential to change the power dynamic in this hellscape.
