The recent fires across Los Angeles County in California have led to several shows halting production. According to Variety, among the shows that have had to stop production is the second season of Amazon Prime’s Fallout series.
The Los Angeles permit agency for filming, FilmLA, has released a statement explaining its decision to withdraw permits issued for the production of these shows, which also include Ted, Hacks, and Abbott Elementary. The decision came from instructions issued by the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
“The LA County Fire Department has specifically instructed that all permits issued for filming in Altadena, La Crescenta, La Canada/Flintridge and unincorporated Pasadena are withdrawn. Other permit revocations are possible,” said FilmLA in its statement.
The first season of the Fallout show made its debut a year ago and saw quite a bit of success right off the bat. According to reports of the time, the show managed to get more than 5 million views in its first week alone. A couple of weeks later, reports indicated that it had garnered more than 65 million viewers in its first 16 days. A second season for Fallout was quickly greenlit, with filming reportedly having begun back in November.
The success of the Fallout show also led to a spike in interest in Bethesda’s open-world RPGs: Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.
While details about the second season of Fallout have been quite sparse, the ending of the first season indicated that we would see the area surrounding New Vegas in some form. For more details of what we hope to see in the show’s second season, here are 10 things we believe it needs.
