Fallout Season 2 Production Stopped by LA Wildfires

Jan 08, 2025 11:13 PM

Production for Fallout Season 2 has been temporarily halted due to significant fires in Los Angeles County. Filming permits in affected areas have been suspended, impacting various major shows beyond Fallout, including Hacks and Grey's Anatomy. Despite this setback, Amazon is eager to resume production promptly, especially since the first season of Fallout became a surprise success, attracting 65 million viewers in just 16 days. The show, crafted by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, presents an original storyline in the beloved post-apocalyptic universe of Fallout, revolving around characters like Vault Dweller Lucy MacLean and Cooper Howard, a ghoul survivor. Viewers are eager for the next season, particularly after the first season generated substantial interest in a potential new Fallout game from Bethesda, even though they are currently focused on developing a new Elder Scrolls title.

When will Fallout Season 2 start filming again?

The production for Fallout Season 2 is expected to resume soon, with an anticipated restart on Friday, pending recovery from current fire conditions.

The Fallout franchise first launched in 1997 and has since grown into an iconic series known for its expansive open-world gameplay and rich post-apocalyptic storytelling. The transition of Fallout into a television series was met with excitement, especially considering the unexpected popularity of its initial season on Prime Video. The narrative of Fallout often explores themes of survival, morality, and the consequences of technology in a dystopian setting, making it a compelling choice for adaptation. Fans of the series are eagerly awaiting both the continuation of the show and news about future games in the franchise.

It's a bummer that production for Fallout Season 2 has hit a snag due to those fires—nothing can slow down a post-apocalyptic world quite like a real-life disaster But with the first season pulling in such impressive numbers, I'm sure fans will be willing to wait a bit longer for that next dose of Vault Dweller adventures.

It’s a bummer to see production on Fallout Season 2 hit a snag, especially after such a strong debut—65 million viewers in just over two weeks is no joke Here’s hoping the fires die down soon so we can dive back into that post-apocalyptic chaos—both on-screen and hopefully in a new game down the line
