The Sci-Fi Action Series That “Has No Business Being As Good As It Is” Makes a Comeback on Streaming Ahead of Season 2

by

Fans are revisiting the first season of Prime Video’s hit sci-fi action series as they eagerly await its second season. Prime Video offers a great selection of sci-fi, including popular shows like The Expanse, The Man in the High Castle, Tales from the Loop, and the often-overlooked Outer Range. However, 2024 brought what many consider their best sci-fi series yet – an adaptation of the wildly popular Fallout video game franchise. And it’s quickly climbing the streaming charts again!

With the upcoming second season heading to New Vegas, viewers are revisiting the first season of Fallout, which takes place in the California Wasteland. Currently, Fallout Season 1 is the tenth most-watched series on Prime Video this week. It’s behind the new season of Hazbin Hotel at number one, and Harlan Coben’s Lazarus in second place.

The TV series Fallout is inspired by the popular video game franchise created by Black Isle Studios and Bethesda Studios. Instead of simply retelling the game’s story, the show presents a brand new narrative within the familiar Fallout universe. This approach resonated with fans of the games, and the series also stands on its own as a compelling and exciting science fiction action show. Here’s what the show is about, according to the official description:

Fallout explores the divide between the wealthy and the struggling in a post-apocalyptic world stripped bare. Two centuries after a devastating event, people living comfortably in underground shelters are forced to return to the dangerous, ruined surface – only to find a strange, surprisingly vibrant, and often brutal world has emerged.

‘Fallout’ Season 2 Is Nearly Here!

Fallout Season 1 wasn’t just successful – it was a huge hit. The show managed to please longtime fans of the video games while also attracting a large audience of new viewers, breaking streaming records for Prime Video. In its first two weeks, 65 million people watched the series, and critics loved it too, giving it a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. One viewer called it “surprisingly fantastic,” and many others agreed.

Given the success of the first season, it’s no surprise Prime Video quickly renewed Fallout for a second. The announcement came just weeks after Season 1 finished, and the finale hinted at exciting things to come – specifically, a journey to New Vegas. Early photos from the set showed off some beloved locations from the Fallout: New Vegas game, often considered the best in the series. The first teaser trailer really brought the New Vegas strip to life, and fans are eagerly anticipating the new season. Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, and Aaron Moten will all be back. Season 2 of Fallout will be available on Prime Video starting December 17.
