In unsurprising but no less exciting news, Amazon has confirmed there will be a Season 2 of itsFalloutTV series, following its incredibly popular debut last week.
There’s obviously next to no information to go on regarding what the second season will entail, withtheFalloutshow’s official Twitter accountsimply sharing the announcement alongside a promotional image of the three main characters—Lucy, Maximus, and The Ghoul—as well as canine companion Dogmeat. That said, fans have a pretty good idea of where the show will go next based on how Season 1 ended.

Without going too deeply into spoilers, things are pointing to Season 2 being set in New Vegas, the setting ofFallout: New Vegas, AKA the game a lot of fans consider to be the best entry in the entireFalloutseries. This doesn’t mean Season 2 will be adapting the storyline of that game, sincethe official timelineconfirms the show is set 15 years afterNew Vegas, but the prospect of revisiting familiar ground after so many years (New Vegaslaunched in 2010) is enough to be excited about.
Theofficial Xbox accountbest summed things up by tweeting “[EVERYONE LIKED THAT],” which is a reference to how companions would sometimes react to your decisions inFallout 4. TheofficialAmong Usaccountalso expressed its excitement, and the sentiment is shared across every other fan response to the news. Considering the rave reviews the show has received from general audiences and critics, with some calling itone of the best video game adaptations ever, it would’ve been more shocking if Amazon didn’t renew it for a Season 2. It did such a good job that it gotmore people playing theFalloutgames.
It had been suggested, though, that Amazon already intended on continuing the show even before its April 10 debut on Amazon Prime Video. A couple of days beforehand, a report byVarietysaid Amazon had been awarded $25 million in tax credits from the Californian Film Commission specifically for filming Season 2 of theFalloutshow. This only lends further credence to the idea of Season 2 being set in New Vegas, since a portion of California comprisedNew Vegas‘ overworld. Season 1, for those wondering, was primarily filmed in New York and Utah.
