A week after the release of the first season of Fallout, streaming service Amazon has confirmed a second season. This was written on the Instagram page of the series and the actor Walton Hoggins, who played the ghoul.
The eight-episode post-apocalyptic series premiered on April 10, 2024 at 6:00 PM PT on the Prime Video streaming service. That is, it was available in Ukraine already on the 11th.
So far, there are no specific figures on how successful the series has become. While Amazon says that in its first four days, the show was “a hit with global audiences, ranking among the service's top three most-watched series and the most-watched season worldwide since Lord of the Rings.”. The last one was released in 2022, and was not very warmly received by the audience.
