Today, Amazon Prime Video has made it official via social media posts that their post-apocalypse series, with a satirical flare, will be returning for a second season. “Fallout” takes place 200+ years after nukes engulfed a fictional retro-futuristic world, leading a portion of humanity to hunker down in corporate-built self-sustaining bunker communities called Vaults.
This announcement was sort of telegraphed by a report from the California Film Commission that revealed that “Fallout” has been approved to relocate to California and earn tax credits to shoot a second season there, suggesting that it was already a foregone conclusion ahead of the show’s release this month.
The cast of “Fallout” consists of Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, Aaron Clifton Moten, Kyle MacLachlan, Leslie Uggams, Zach Cherry, Frances Turner, Annabel O’Hagan, Moises Arias, Jon Daly, and Johnny Pemberton.
In the first season, Lucy (Purnell) leaves Vault 33 to find her kidnapped father after a group of raiders break into the Vault and cause chaos. Lucy navigates an increasingly hostile wasteland that leads to her bumping into The Ghoul (Goggins), an unkillable bounty hunter with a mysterious past that links him to Vault-Tech as he’s been kicking around since before the nukes dropped. Another character introduced is Maximus, a good-intentioned young soldier who happens to be trying to find a foothold in a fascist religious cult that is armed to the teeth that are trying to control the wasteland and what technology the population has access to.
Without spoiling too much about how the show ends, there is a connection to “Fallout: New Vegas,” which should play out in season two.
