One of the first scenes of Fallout shows an aging Cooper Howard in a swanky Hollywood home with his daughter, his career apparently having been reduced to entertaining children’s birthday parties. But everything changes when a nuclear bomb goes off, forcing him to find a new irradiated way to survive as the Ghoul. However, as intriguing as the Hollywood setting is in the many flashbacks in the series, the first season of the show was never actually filmed in California; instead, it was shot in New York, New Jersey, Utah, and even Namibia.
Ironically, as Season 2 leaves California for New Vegas, production has now moved to California. But in the wake of the ongoing L.A. fires, production has halted — a sign of both how this crisis affects the TV industry, and how the industry can help in the wake.
