Amazon’s Fallout series has secured a $25 million tax credit offer from the California Film Commission, ensuring a second season and a move of production from New York State to Los Angeles. The series, set in a post-apocalyptic future Los Angeles within the world of Fallout, is a collaboration between Amazon MGM Studios and is estimated to bring in $153 million in qualifying expenditures to California, along with providing job opportunities for approximately 170 individuals in the cast and crew.
The California Film Commission recently announced 12 projects that are expected to collectively spend around $1.1 billion in the state during their upcoming seasons. Among these projects is Amazon MGM Studios’ Untitled Task Force Series, which will focus on a covert task force of undercover agents. Additionally, 20th Television has received tax credits for two projects produced by Ryan Murphy – Dr. Odyssey featuring Joshua Jackson and Grotesquerie starring Niecy Nash.
The inaugural season of Fallout is scheduled for a global release on Prime Video starting April 11. The first season, filmed in New York State and New Jersey, is set 200 years after a nuclear apocalypse in the 1950s that decimated modern society. The storyline follows Lucy, played by Ella Purnell, a young woman raised in a luxurious underground fallout shelter who ventures into the wasteland above after her loved ones are threatened.
For the upcoming second season of Fallout, production will be overseen by Kilter Films and executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, known for their work on Westworld. The cast of the first season includes Purnell, Walton Goggins, Aaron Moten, Moisés Arias, Kyle MacLachlan, Sarita Choudhury, and Michael Emerson.
