Is Fallout season 2 coming to Prime Video?

Many fans of the Fallout games were worried about whether the Amazon Prime Video series would capture the spirit of the original. As it turned out, the show’s creators were up to the task. They took viewers on a fascinating journey through a post-apocalyptic world filled with danger and surprises alike.

Amazon entrusted the adaptation of Fallout to Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, with their company Kilter Films. The choice was well-thought-out, considering the duo previously created the futuristic series Westworld for HBO.

In addition to Nolan, Joy, and Athena Wickham from Kilter Films, the executive producer for the show is Todd Howard, who directed several games in the Fallout franchise. The executive team is supported by James Altman from Bethesda Softworks.

The showrunners for the series are Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner, who also work as writers and executive producers on the project.

The season finale solved some mysteries but also set up some new ones. We gather all the information about the second season of Fallout from Prime Video.

Will there be a Fallout season 2?

Fallout season 1 was met with favourable reviews from audiences and critics alike, so many viewers are hoping for a sequel. The creators have seemingly planned a multi-season story that will take the audience deep into the post-apocalyptic world.

So far, Amazon hasn’t green-lit a second season of Fallout. However, Variety reports that California has already approved a $25 million tax credit for it, so the renewal seems to be just a formality.

We’ll let you know as soon as any information on this matter emerges. If it is renewed, we may be able to predict when the release date will be based on the production schedule for season 1.

Season 1 of the post-apocalyptic show is streaming now on Prime Video.

What could the plot of Fallout season 2 be about?

Spoilers for season 1 below.

The world of Fallout is very colourful and gifted with a long history. It’s filled with extraordinary inventions, bizarre mutants, crazy individuals, baffling robots and warring factions.

The first season showed only a slice of this universe. In the second season, the creators will have a chance to present a larger cut of the post-apocalyptic world, where retro aesthetics mix with futuristic technology.

Here’s a list of key plot lines we think will appear in Fallout season 2:

Lucy, Ghoul and Dog’s journey together

In the season 1 finale, Lucy decides to join forces with the loathed Ghoul and go on a chase after Hank together. Lucy’s father is presumably headed to where the Vault-Tec main bosses are hidden. Tracking him, Ghoul hopes to find his wife and daughter, who were supposed to have ended up in one of the corporation’s top Vaults.

The fight for Cold Fusion

Moldaver managed to recover the Cold Fusion technology, but her hideout was soon taken by the Brotherhood of Steel. The soldiers have thus presumably seized the invention. However, in season 2, they are likely to fight over a Cold Fusion with other factions, including the Enclave, from which Dr. Siggi Wilzig escaped.

The Ghoul’s Backstory

The first season showed a fragment of events 200 years ago. However, it’s still unclear how Cooper separated from his wife and what happened to his family right after the atomic blast. In season 2, the writers need to fill these gaps.

Maximus and the Brotherhood of Steel

Despite all the morally questionable decisions Maximus made, he was offered not only to return to the Brotherhood but also to participate in its reconstruction. Perhaps in season 2, Maximus will have to decide whether he wants to devote himself to the Brotherhood and help it take over the Wasteland or to help Lucy.

Norm and Vault 31

One of the most exciting elements of the season was Lucy’s brother trying to untangle the web of conspiracies surrounding Vaults 31, 32, and 33. Unfortunately, curiosity is the first degree to hell. Although Norm got answers to his questions, he was trapped in Vault 31. Surely, someone will have to help Norm get out. Perhaps it will be Chet who may escape Vault 32, supervised by the extremely creepy Steph.

Thaddeus as ghoul

The wounded squire’s decision to trust a randomly met “doctor” turned out to be highly reckless. However, Thaddeus’ transformation was one of the funnier scenes of the finale. We hope that the unlucky soldier will appear in season 2 and not as a zombie-like, feral ghoul.

Vaults mysteries

According to a conversation overheard 200 years earlier by Cooper, the creators of the crypts had many weird ideas for managing their inhabitants. Residents forced to fight for resources, controlled by a milk-distributing robot or turned into Super-Mutants are just some of them. We hope that in season 2 we will visit more shelters and discover new puzzles lurking in them.
