Fallout TV Series Season 2 Filming Delayed

Summary

  • Fallout TV series season 2 filming delayed due to wildfires in Southern California.
  • The success of Fallout TV series and games fuels anticipation for season 2.
  • Uncertain impact on season 2 premiere due to ongoing wildfires in the area; series may face further delays.

The filming of the second season of acclaimed and award-winning Fallout TV series has been delayed due to an outbreak of wildfires in Southern California. Fallout filming was set to begin on January 8, but has now been pushed back out of an abundance of caution.

Game to film or TV adaptations don’t always go over well with audiences, whether gamers or not, but Fallout is one of the exceptions. The Amazon Prime TV series was met with applause, as the first season did an excellent job of recreating the iconic wasteland that players have come to know and love over the decades. With the Fallout TV series winning awards, and the games receiving a renewed boost in interest, the series is set to return for season 2, but is now facing filming delays.

Video game adaptations continued on an upward trend in 2024 with both new and returning franchises making an impact.

According to Deadline, Fallout‘s season 2 was set to continue filming in Santa Clarita on Wednesday, January 8, but has now been pushed back to Friday, January 10. The pushback is due to the massive wildfires that broke out on January 7 in Southern California, which has now burned thousands of acres and forced the evacuation of 30,000 people or more. While the wildfires haven’t burned Santa Clarita directly at the time of publication, the area is known for high winds, and all filming in the region has been delayed, including that of other programs like NCIS.

Will Wildfires Impact Fallout Season 2’s Premiere?

At this time, it’s too soon to tell if the wildfires will have a significant impact on Fallout season 2 reaching viewers. A two-day delay shouldn’t have any real impact, but with the wildfires largely raging out of control at this time, there’s still the potential for them to spread or do damage to the region. The plan to restart filming on Friday could be pushed back further if there’s a threat of danger, in which case the second season could see potential delays. Wildfires have become unfortunately common in California, but this is the first time they’ve had a significant impact on Fallout. The series’ first season wasn’t filmed there, but reportedly, a $25 million tax credit was offered to entice the show to move its filming to SoCal.

For now, much of what will happen in season 2 of Fallout remains to be seen. The series left off on a cliffhanger that excited gamers, with a strong likelihood that the second season will be at least partially centered around New Vegas. Macaulay Culkin is also set to join the Fallout cast in the new season in a recurring role, though who his character will be remains to be seen.
