To say that Fallout was a surprise hit when it premiered in April of last year feels like an understatement. But its wackier tone and relatively unknown main cast felt like Fallout was being set up to be a niche hit, at best. It quickly became one of Amazon’s biggest original hits, and was hailed critically as one of the best video game adaptations ever. Maximus’ plot takes the show in more complex and high-stakes directions. Fallout Season 2 premieres on Prime Video on December 16 at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m.
