'Fallout’ Production Restart Pushed Due To Dangerous SoCal Weather

The filming schedule has been shifted on Prime Video’s hit post-apocalyptic drama series Fallout due to the powerful Southern California windstorm and the wildfires it has triggered. Season 2 has been slated to resume production after a holiday break tomorrow, Wednesday, I hear. Instead, the restart of production has been tentatively rescheduled for Friday as a precaution.

Fallout, from Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films, films in Santa Clarita; the breakout series relocated from New York to California for its second season after receiving a $25M tax credit.

Santa Clarita is known for being among the windiest parts of the Los Angeles area. A quarter-acre brush fire broke just north of the city Tuesday afternoon as Southern California continues to be battered by strong winds.

There are a number of other TV series filming in Santa Clarita, including NCIS. As far as we know, no ongoing production has been impacted by the severe weather for now.

Executive produced by Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner, Fallout is based on the video game series from Bethesda Game Studios. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them.

The series stars Ella Purnell as Lucy, Aaron Moten is Maximus, Walton Goggins as the Ghoul as well as well as Kyle MacLachlan, Moisés Arias, Sarita Choudhury, Michael Emerson, Leslie Uggams, Frances Turner, Dave Register, Zach Cherry, Johnny Pemberton, Rodrigo Luzzi, Annabel O’Hagan and Xelia Mendes-Jones.

As reported in November, Macaulay Culkin joined Season 2 as a recurring.

Athena Wickham of Kilter Films also executive produces for Bethesda Game Studios and James Altman for Bethesda Softworks.

Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films produce in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.
