Post-apocalyptic hit
Unprecedented success
Just a week after the release of the first season, Amazon has confirmed the continuation of this exciting post-apocalyptic saga . The eight-episode premiere took place on April 10, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. PST, which allowed viewing for Ukrainian viewers the following day. Although exact ratings numbers have not yet been released, Amazon says the series has quickly gained popularity with a global audience, ranking among the service's top three shows and becoming the biggest hit since The Lord of the Rings in 2022.
An original story in the game universe

Instead, viewers are offered an original narrative that takes place in the post-apocalyptic Fallout universe, 200 years after a nuclear apocalypse. The series opens dramatically with a nuclear explosion that changes the world forever.
Star cast
Among the famous actors who joined the project, it is worth noting Walton Hoggins (Sons of Anarchy, The Hateful Eight) as the ghoul, Aaron Moten (Disjointed, Transfiguration) as Maximus, Kyle McLachlan (Twin Peaks) and Zach Cherry (The Rift). The role of the main character Lucy was performed by Ella Purnell ("Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children", "Arcane").
Creative tandem
Executive producers of the series were Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, known for the successful series "World of the Wild West", as well as Todd Howard - director of the Bethesda studio , developer of the cult video game Fallout.

Hopefully the series won't be the same failure as Amazon's Lord of the Rings. 🤞 At least the money spent on it will pay off, because Fallout is a cult game with millions of fans around the world. 🎮
Михайло
Great news! 🙌 The series has every chance to become a hit, because the franchise has already established itself as one of the best in the post-apocalyptic genre. I wonder if the storylines will be intertwined with the games, or will it be something completely new?
Кароліна
I just can't imagine how you can transfer the atmosphere of Fallout to the screen! 🎥 Wastelands, ghouls and other mutants, broken cities... I want to see all this in detail! The franchise's fan base will definitely support a second season. 👏
Герман
It's great that TV series are finally starting to dominate movies! 📺 It will be possible to really immerse yourself in the world of Fallout, and not be limited to 2 hours of screen time. I hope the creators will not spoil the whole atmosphere with something extra.

I'm not a big fan of the franchise, but the post-apocalyptic setting has always appealed to me. Such series make us think about the future of humanity. 💭 Maybe even after the second season, new Fallout fans will appear! 🔥
Григорій
Hmm, I don't understand the fascination with this noisy game about a world after a nuclear explosion. 🙄 You create an apocalypse for yourself, and then you create a panicky mood. Absurd, waste of money and time. The post-apocalyptic trend is already outdated and uninteresting. 👎
Соня
Wow, you expect too much from him, Grigory! 🤭 It's just entertainment that makes you think about the consequences of war. First of all - a series for fans of the game and the post-apocalyptic genre. You have to respect someone's preferences!
Леся
I just can't imagine how the series could have been made even more popular! 🤯 Fallout is an absolute hit with sales of billions of dollars, a corporate clash of creative creators and talented actors in the composition. Even if the first season was a failure, the second attempt is sure to be a success! 🔥
Олександра
I wonder which of the locations of the game we will see in the series! 🌆 Will there be familiar places like New Vegas or the Capital Wasteland? I would be happy to travel through these iconic places accompanied by the heroes. I'm really looking forward to the second season! 🤩
Артем
Although the attitude towards Fallout is ambiguous, it is already a cult brand. 💥 One way or another, the second season will draw attention to the series, just like the first. I hope the creators will approach with an understanding of the responsibility to realize the vision of the franchise on the screen.

Let's hope that the second season will take into account all the shortcomings of the first and raise the bar even higher! 💪 At the global level, the merits of the series have already been noticed. Now it is necessary to maintain the high quality of the content in order not to disappoint the fans.
П'єтро
Nuclear apocalypse, mutants, ruins of civilization... It will be difficult for the children's audience. 😨 However, for adult fans of the post-apocalyptic genre - an ideal series! Personally, I'm looking forward to the second season.
Анастасія
I did not think that Fallout is so popular! 😮 The story about life after the disaster has already become cult. It is interesting how well it will be possible to transfer the atmosphere and spirit of the games to the series. And will we see famous characters?
Макс
So it's great that Amazon's bold project will get a second wind! 💪 They are truly dedicated to popularizing cult games in serial format. After Lord of the Rings, it's time for a post-apocalyptic hit!
