Despite Fallout taking place in the aftermath of a nuclear war, it’s truly not the end of the world for the Prime Video series, which has many miles to go.
Fans of video games are fanatics about how faithfully adapted into movies and series, and according to Fallout executive producer Geneva Robertson-Dworet, speaking recently during an interview with cast and creatives at Deadline Studio at Prime Experience, “there is so much we had to leave behind” in Season 1. “[There’s] potentially thousands of hours of gameplay; we have eight hours to tell our story.”

With a Season 2 order under its belt, as well as becoming the most watched Amazon Prime series launch ever per Nielsen with 2.9 billion minutes viewed, Robertson-Dworet says they’ll now “be able to get to so much more that we love about the Fallout world.”
Already she and fellow Fallout EP Graham Wagner are back in the writers room.
But the cast has its demands on where they want to see their characters go.
Says Ella Purnell, who plays hopeful bride-turned-apocalypse survivor renegade Lucy MacLean, “I want a cute puppy that she can carry around. I’d like less spam and more carbonara in the wasteland please.”
Lucy learns something dastardly about her father, Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan), in Season 1 and the two are bound to have their issues to settle. He continues to roam the wastleland, and two-time Emmy nominee MacLachlan hopes that the guy has “more time in the powersuit,” that being the armored uniform that is a necessary comfort in the dystopian future and is able to block bullets and the mutated gulpers.
