The highly anticipated second season of Amazon Prime's Fallout TV series has experienced a production setback due to the devastating wildfires currently raging in Southern California. Initially scheduled to resume filming on January 8th, production has been postponed until January 10th as a precautionary measure.
The Fallout series, a rare successful video game adaptation, garnered critical acclaim for its first season's faithful recreation of the iconic post-apocalyptic world. This success, coupled with a renewed interest in the Fallout games, has generated significant excitement for the upcoming season.
According to Deadline, the production delay is directly attributed to the wildfires that erupted on January 7th, consuming thousands of acres and prompting the evacuation of over 30,000 residents. While Santa Clarita, the filming location, hasn't been directly impacted, the risk of spreading fires due to high winds has prompted a region-wide halt to filming, affecting other productions as well.
Uncertainty Surrounding the Premiere Date
The two-day delay may seem minor, but the unpredictable nature of the wildfires raises concerns about potential further disruptions. Should the fires worsen or pose an ongoing threat, additional delays to the filming schedule are highly likely, consequently impacting the season's premiere date. While California wildfires are unfortunately common, this marks the first time they've significantly affected Fallout production. The show's first season was filmed elsewhere, but a substantial tax incentive reportedly lured the production to Southern California.
Season 2 promises to deliver more thrilling adventures, building upon the cliffhanger ending of the first season and potentially exploring the New Vegas storyline. The addition of Macaulay Culkin to the cast in a recurring role adds another layer of anticipation. However, the exact impact of the current wildfires on the release date remains uncertain.
