The massive Palisades wildfire in Southern California has led to a halt in production for several projects in and around Los Angeles, including Fallout Season 2. The second season was slated to resume shooting today, January 8, after a holiday break, but that will not occur.
Film LA released a statement indicating that the Los Angeles County Fire Department informed permit holders that all filming activities in Altadena, La Crescenta, and La Canada Flintridge must be suspended.
Soundstages hosting various productions are not directly threatened by the fires at this moment; however, local officials have advised against voluntary activities, and filming for Hollywood productions appears to fall under that advisory.
In addition to Fallout Season 2, other shows currently on hold due to the wildfires include Hacks, NCIS, After Midnight, Gray’s Anatomy, and Jimmy Kimmel Live, among others, as reported by Variety. Fallout Season 2 may potentially resume shooting on Friday, January 10, as indicated by Deadline, with filming anticipated to take place in Santa Clarita.
