Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Fallout season 1 has been a monumental hit for Amazon Prime Video, but its latest milestone creates a huge challenge for season 2. The highly anticipated Fallout show became the next video game adaptation to find mainstream success and honor its source material in the process.
Fallout Is The Second Most-Watched Debut Ever On Amazon Prime Video Only The Rings of Power Has Had A More Watched Debut On Prime Video Close Despite how many incredible shows Amazon Prime Video has in its catalog, Fallout has become the platform's second most-watched debut ever. In just 16 days, Fallout accumulated 65 million viewers, with The Rings of Power being the only Amazon debut to amass a bigger audience.
The Fallout franchise already had a big fan base through its games, perhaps indicating why the debut was so successful, but plenty of other adaptations have struggled to gain this much attention. Amazon's Fallout show was faithful to the video games and had a strong marketing campaign, contributing to such a positive debut.
Adding more big names to the Fallout show's cast could help it grow even more, as the series didn't rely on megastars to carry it. The cast may not have been filled with A-list names, but there were plenty of talented actors who nailed their roles, which contributed to season 1's success. If the series can continue its quality, continue to entertain its audience, and add some big actors, season 2 could become even bigger.
