Following reports last week that Amazon was lining up shooting locations for a potential second season, it has now officially confirmed that thew show will return.

The success of the Fallout TV show has led to a massive increase in sales of the series.
According to GSD data (as reported byGamesIndustry.biz), Fallout 4 saw sales increase by more than 7500% compared to the previous week, shooting it up to the top of the European charts. Three other Fallout games also made the European top 10, with Fallout 76, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3 coming in at numbers 8, 9 and 10 respectively.
Last weekend numerous games in the Fallout series saw their player counts dramatically rise following the release of the TV show.
The biggest leap was enjoyed by Fallout 4, which had been regularly hitting weekend peaks of around 20,000 – 24,000 for the past six months but saw a peak of 83,491 on Sunday, more than tripling its normal player count.

The Fallout TV show effect continues. This time, it’s popular mod site Nexus Mods on the receiving end of the double-edged Shishkebab, as its servers struggle under the weight of people rushing to play through the series again - and mod its latter entries into games worth playing, presumably.

Todd Howard has assured Fallout fans that the franchise's recently-released TV show does not contradict the games' pre-established lore.
Bethesda's very own Mr Handy (director and executive producer) Todd Howard has addressed the controversy surrounding the Fallout TV show's treatment of Fallout backstory, reaffirming the canonicity of Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas and promising that Bethesda and Amazon are being "careful" to maintain consistency between the games and the TV series. Are you new to this latest lore scandal? Watch out for Fallout Season 1 spoilers ahead, then.
Amazon's Fallout TV show has — a few minor controversies aside — been a hit with fans since arriving last week; but while the show has covered plenty of the video games' post-apocalyptic basics — from Pip-Boys and Power Armour to Vaults and Vault-Tec — not everything made the cut, and its creators have now explained they deliberately held back some «iconic» stuff, including Deathclaws, to better do them justice in a potential Season 2.
I sort of reject that the Fallout TV show has Easter eggs hidden in it because it, as a whole, is the equivalent of one of those fancy Hotel Chocolat ostrich-sized patisserie collection bastards that cost 40 quid. However. Eagle-eyed viewers of the Fallout show noted that episode 6 gives you a number for Valt-Tec that you can actually get in touch with - 213-25-VAULT (or, 213-258-2858). Charges apply, as well as international codes if you're outside the US, which makes it 001-213-258-2858.
Fallout, you might have noticed, is having a bit of moment thanks to Amazon's acclaimed new live-action TV series; and one of its many easter eggs — an on-screen phone number that also happens to work if you dial it in the real world — has fans a-chatter as they ponder the significance of a curious message and a specific timeframe relayed within.
