Prime Video’s Fallout Season 2 gets a disappointing update. Confirmed by Deadline, filming for the sophomore season has been delayed due to the California wildfires. Developed by the duo of Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet, the series is the official adaptation of Bethesda’s titular RPG video game franchise, starring Ella Purnell (Lucy MacLean), Aaron Moten (Maximus), Kyle MacLachlan (Hank MacLean), Moises Arias (Norm MacLean), and Walton Goggins (Cooper Howard, aka The Ghoul).
Season 1 emerged as a record-breaking hit for Prime Video, pulling in over 65 million viewers within its first two weeks of release. It was also well-received by critics, who hailed the show as one of the best live-action video game adaptations of all time. This prompted the streamer to renew the series for a second season just days after its release on April 10, 2024.
According to Deadline, filming for Fallout Season 2 was scheduled to resume this Wednesday after a holiday break, but due to ongoing wildfires in Southern California, the start date has been tentatively pushed back to Friday. The situation remains fluid, and further delays are possible depending on how the fires progress. The wildfires, which began on Tuesday, have spread rapidly due to strong winds.
This shouldn’t be considered a major concern, as the wildfires are expected to subside in the coming days. However, if the situation doesn’t come under control, we may see Prime Video pushing back Season 2’s release window.
The wildfires have spread to areas like Altadena and Pacific Palisades, forcing over 30,000 evacuations. Although the exact Fallout Season 2 filming location is undisclosed, it is likely in a nearby region impacted by the fires.
Season 2 is expected to premiere in mid-2026. However, the recent wildfires could delay its release. Let’s see what happens. Stay tuned for more updates.
