Prime Video has announced some new additions heading into the wasteland, as ‘Fallout’ Season 3 adds Emily Mortimer (Jay Kelly, Doll & Em), Manny Jacinto (The Acolyte, Freakier Friday) and Thomasin McKenzie (Eileen, Jojo Rabbit) to the cast.
The critically acclaimed global hit series, from Kilter Films, returns to Los Angeles this month to begin filming its third season, continuing Prime Video’s hugely successful adaptation of Bethesda’s beloved video game franchise. The trio join the previously announced Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad, Westworld), who is also set to appear in Season 3.
Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, ‘Fallout’ is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there is almost nothing left to have. Set 200 years after the apocalypse, the series follows the sheltered residents of luxury fallout vaults as they are forced to return to the irradiated nightmare their ancestors left behind, only to discover a complex, gleefully weird, and extremely violent universe waiting for them.
Season 3 will see the new cast additions join returning stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets, Sweetpea), Aaron Moten (Emancipation, Father Stu), Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Frances Turner (The Boys), Annabel O’Hagan (Rent Free) and Dave Register (FBI).
The series has been a massive hit for Prime Video. Across its first two seasons, ‘Fallout’ has surpassed 100 million viewers worldwide through the first 13 weeks, with both seasons ranking among the streamer’s top four most-watched seasons of all time during the same period. Not bad for a show where the world has technically already ended.
Behind the scenes, ‘Fallout’ is produced by Kilter Films, with Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy and Athena Wickham serving as executive producers. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner are executive producers, creators and showrunners. Todd Howard executive produces for Bethesda Game Studios, alongside James Altman for Bethesda Softworks. Margot Lulick also executive produces. Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films produce in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.
Kilter Films, founded by Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, previously produced HBO’s ‘Westworld’, Amazon’s ‘The Peripheral’, and CBS crime drama ‘Person of Interest’. The company is also currently developing Amazon’s adaptation of Rebecca Yarros’ fantasy novel Fourth Wing, alongside a live-action series based on the classic video game franchise Wolfenstein.
‘Fallout’ Season 3 does not yet have a premiere date. Seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream now on Prime Video. If I want to keep track of this or any other shows, I can add them via our Never Miss system, and I’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date. Visit Never Miss
