By It’s official, Amazon Prime Video has renewed its sci-fi action-comedy “Fallout” for a second season – the order coming in one week after the first season launched in full last week.
The series, based on the famed Bethesda Softworks game franchise, has debuted to some of the best reviews to date for a Prime Video release with a 94% positive critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Whilst they haven’t released any official numbers as to how it performed, they do say the series is among its top three titles to date.
Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke said in a statement:
“Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have captivated the world with this ground-breaking, wild ride of a show. The bar was high for lovers of this iconic video game and so far we seem to have exceeded their expectations, while bringing in millions of new fans to the franchise… We are thrilled to announce season two after only one week out and take viewers even farther into the surreal world of Fallout.”
A second season order comes as little surprise as the series had already scored a $25 million tax credit to film a second season in California, a shift from the first season which was largely shot in New York and Utah.
According to that filing, the new season will have a budget of $152 million.
