'Fallout' Season 2 Receives a Piping Hot California Tax Credit

Now nearly a year removed from the Fallout Season 1 premiere, a crucial detail about Season 2 has been revealed. A new report from the California Tax Commission says that Fallout has received a $153 million tax credit for Season 2, which is usually given out to cover the production budget. If Fallout Season 2 follows in the footsteps of the first season and moves forward with eight episodes, this would be an average of just over $19 million per episode. This might seem like a high number — and it’s certainly not cheap — but it’s not far off the expected mark for a show such as Fallout that has to rely heavily on creating a new world. The first season was also produced for around $150 million.
