Grab your power armor because there's more "Fallout" on the way.
Prime Video has renewed the hit video game series for a Season 3 ahead
of the Season 2 premiere this December. Season 2 "will pick up in the
aftermath of Season One's epic finale and take audiences along for a
journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic
city of New Vegas." To date, more than 100 million viewers have
watched Season 1, putting it in the top three Prime Video titles ever.
The video game adaptation was a hit when it premiered in April 2024,
and it's based on the popular post-apocalyptic gaming franchise of the
same name. The show follows Ella Purnell's protagonist Lucy MacLean as
she emerges from an underground vault after a nuclear war devastates
the world. Along the way, she meets a variety of terrifying,
nuclear-irradiated creatures and characters as she looks for her
father Hank, played by Kyle Maclachlan, who was kidnapped by raiders.
The cast also includes Aaron Moten as Maximus, a power armor-wearing
member of the Brotherhood of Steel who goes rogue, and Walton Goggins
as the Ghoul, a deformed bounty hunter who was revealed to be
Vault-Tec executive Cooper Howard before the nuclear outbreak.
In the Season 1 finale, Lucy and her brother Norm (Moises Arias) learn
that their father was responsible for one of the nuclear bombs going
off, the Ghoul finds out that his pre-war family may still be alive
and Maximus is promoted to a knight. Lucy and the Ghoul head out to
find Vault-Tec's leaders to get some answers, and Hank runs off to New
Vegas, the fan-favorite, Las Vegas-inspired setting for one of the
"Fallout" games.
"We are absolutely thrilled that our global Prime Video customers will
be able to delve deeper into the wonderfully surreal and captivating
world of 'Fallout,'" said Vernon Sanders, global head of television,
Amazon MGM Studios. "Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have done an
exceptional job bringing this beloved video game franchise to vivid
life on Prime Video. Together with our amazing partners at Bethesda
Games and Bethesda Softworks, we are delighted to announce a third
season of 'Fallout,' well ahead of the much-anticipated debut of
Season Two."
"Fallout" received Emmy nominations for outstanding drama, lead actor
in a drama for Goggins and writing by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and
Graham Wagner. The show is produced by Kilter Films, with executive
producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. Robertson-Dworet and Wagner
also serve as executive producers, creators and showrunners.
