Bust out the Nuka-Cola and YumYum Deviled Eggs, Vaulties. Amazon Studios has renewed its mega-hit series Fallout for Season 2. The news comes less than a week since Season 1 dropped on Prime Video.

The series hails from Westworld and The Peripheral‘s Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. Nolan helmed the first three episodes and serves as executive producer alongside Joy. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as showrunners, writers, executive producers and creators.
Robertson-Dworet and Wagner had this to say regarding the show’s renewal:
“Holy sh*t. Thank you to Jonah, Kilter, Bethesda and Amazon for having the courage to make a show that gravely tackles all of society’s most serious problems these days — cannibalism, incest, jello cake. More to come!”
Season 1 Finale
The Season 1 finale saw Lucy (Ella Purnell) coming to grips with her father Hank’s (Kyle MacLachlan) misdeeds — his direct involvement in torching Shady Sands and dooming her mother to ghoul-dom.

I adored Season 1 of this wacky, darkly comedic, ultraviolent series, and I can’t wait to see what Season 2 has in store.
