Based on the retro-futuristic video game franchise of the same name, “Fallout” is one of the most anticipated new series of the year. The sci-fi, produced by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the duo behind “Westworld,” arrived on Prime Video on April 10, and it quickly garnered a solid viewership.
According to FlixPatrol, the show is currently the third most-watched series worldwide, only behind “Invincible” (in the first position) and “Reacher,” which is second. The series follows the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse in an alternate version of Earth in which, following World War II, advancements in nuclear technology sparked a retro-futuristic society.
Survivors sought shelter in Vaults, underground bunkers designed to safeguard humanity from nuclear destruction. Fast forward 219 years, a young woman departs Vault 33, her safe haven, embarking on a perilous journey through the desolate wasteland of a ravaged Los Angeles in search of her missing father. One aspect of the show that has captivated fans are the locations. Here’s where the series was filmed.
Fallout: Where was the series shot?
The series was filmed in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, New Jersey, Utah and Namibia, according to Screen Rant. While not all the places are recognizable on the show, there are some of them that can be located.
For example, The Red Rocket truck, one of the iconic locations of the Fallout video game, was filmed in a real gas station in Nyack, New York. Meanwhile, the scenes on the Brotherhood Of Steel Base were filmed in the Wendover Air Force Base, Utah. The real place was used as a training camp for bombers during World War II.
Outside of the US, filming took place in Namibia. According to the same report, the crew shot in Kolmanskop, Sperrgebiet, which is a famous ghost town in the Southern African country. The location serves as Fallout’s wasteland.
According to Screen Rant, while a second season hasn’t been confirmed officially by Amazon, there are reports that California Film Commission has granted tax credits for the show to be filmed there for Season 2.
