The hit Prime Video series Fallout has been renewed for a second season following a successful debut. The show is the work of Kilter Films, and the executive producers are Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. It is based on a best-selling video game series about a wasteland where war never changes.
This captivating story unfolds two hundred years after the world’s end, where the inhabitants of fallout shelters are compelled to venture back into their ancestors’ forsaken, irradiated world. The complex and delightfully bizarre universe they encounter is nothing short of incredible. Now, just a week after its premiere, the television show has been renewed.
