Fallout TV Series Season 2 Production to Begin in November

The highly acclaimed TV adaptation of the video game franchise Fallout is gearing up for its second season, with production set to commence in November. This news comes from an interview with Leslie Uggams, who plays the Overseer in Vault 33, during New York Comic Con. Uggams expressed her excitement about the upcoming season, stating, “We start [shooting in] November. I’m excited about it.”

The first season of Fallout, which aired on Prime Video in April 2024, received widespread praise from both critics and viewers, boasting a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Given the positive reception, Amazon and Bethesda are moving swiftly to capitalize on the momentum. Unlike the first season, which took nearly two years from the start of filming to its release, the second season is expected to have a faster turnaround due to the established development and existing cast and props.

Leslie Uggams hinted at some intriguing plot developments, mentioning that her character, Betty Pearson, has “some things up her sleeve.” There is also speculation that the second season might include elements from the popular game Fallout: New Vegas, which could excite fans of the franchise.

While the quick start to production is promising, fans should be cautious about expecting an immediate release. The production and post-production process for TV series can be lengthy, and recent trends in the industry suggest that shows often take extended hiatuses between seasons).
