That\u2019s enough to put Fallout Season 2 in second place in Prime Video\u2019s all-time returning series list, behind only Reacher Season 2. On that list it\u2019s ahead of big budget fantasy Lord of the Rings spinoff The Rings of Power Season 2, and Reacher Season 3.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As you\u2019d expect, the release of Season 2 gave Fallout Season 1 a shot in the arm; globally, 100 million people have watched at least a few minutes of the Fallout series. Fallout Season 2 has now joined Season 2 as two of Prime Video\u2019s top four biggest seasons ever launched. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Amazon has offered some insight into the performance of Prime video show Fallout Season 2, while keeping viewership stats firmly locked in a vault for now.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It\u2019s a notable achievement for Fallout Season 2, which somewhat controversially went for a weekly episode release schedule when Season 1 launched all at once. But even before Season 2 came out, Season 3 was confirmed, with production set to start this summer.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">With the Fallout Season 2 finale out in the wild, we know which location Season 3 is headed towards, just as the end of Season 1 teased New Vegas for Season 2.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Warning! Spoilers for Fallout Season 2 finale follow:<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The ending of Fallout Season 2 sets up Colorado as the location for Season 3, with The Ghoul, played by Walton Goggins, already on his way. So, should we expect Season 3 to kick off in Colorado? Or will there be more to the journey?<\/p>\n<p>Fallout Season 2, Episode 1 Video Game Details &#8211; Locations<img alt=\"5. In fact, the whole neighborhood that the salesman is roaming around is similar to the one seen at the beginning of Fallout 4.

So how long will it take him to get there, or will he get there in the first episode of the next season? We will have to wait to find out. It may not be as linear a journey as one would hope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Bethesda development chief Todd Howard echoed Robertson-Dworet\u2019s comment, adding: \u201cYeah, look, there&#8217;s a lot of surprises coming. We talk about it a lot. And so what I&#8217;d say is geography plays such a part into the world of Fallout, and seeing what&#8217;s there. And there&#8217;s a lot of land out there, there&#8217;s a lot of places to explore yet. It&#8217;s exciting for us to do that in games. And it&#8217;s really exciting to do it in a TV show where we can jump locations. I wouldn&#8217;t presume too much yet, I know we&#8217;re hinting at stuff, but there&#8217;s a lot of surprises to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019ve got plenty more on Fallout, including our <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/fallout-season-2-finale-review-episode-8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fallout Season 2 finale review<\/a>, and an explainer on <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/what-is-liberty-prime-from-the-fallout-games\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">how the post-credits scene at the end of Fallout Season 2 teases something huge from the games<\/a>.
