About Fallout Season 2: Plot, cast, and more

The logline of Fallout Season 2, per Variety, states,

“The new season will pick up in the aftermath of Season One’s epic finale and take audiences along for a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas.”

Created by the duo Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet, this series is inspired by the popular video game franchise and depicts a post-apocalyptic society in the aftermath of the Great War of 2077. Set 200 years apart, the plot delves into the life of Lucy, a woman who leaves her Vault to find her father, who had been kidnapped by wasteland raiders.

Fallout Season 2 is apparently based on the fourth game of the franchise, Fallout: New Vegas, according to USA Today. The game was released more than a decade ago, in 2010. The trailer for the upcoming season teases a flashback-portraying how the nuclear war began, introduces the post-apocalyptic predators Deathclaws, features Robert House, played by Justin Theoreoux, and gives a sneak peek into The Ghouls' origin story.

Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger with Hank MacLean escaping during the battle between the Brotherhood of Steel and Moldaver's raiders. On the other hand, we also saw Lucy heading towards New Vegas with The Ghoul.

Fallout Season 2 cast and character guide:

• Ella Purnell as Lucy MacLean
• Aaron Moten as Maximus
• Walton Goggins as The Ghoul
• Moises Arias as Norm MacLeab
• Kyle MacLachlan as Hank MacLean
• Leslie Uggams as Overseer Betty
• Sarita Chowdhury as Moldaver
• Xelia Mendes-Jones as Dane
• Johnny Pemberton as Thaddeus
• Zach Cherry as Woody
• Leer Leary as Davey
• Annabel O'Hagan as Stephanie Harper
• Dave Register as Chet
• Rodrigo Luzzi as Reg McPhee
• Frances Turner as Barb Howard

Among the new cast members are Macaulay Culkin and Kumail Nanjiani. While Justin Theroux is all set to return as Robert House.

In a 2024 interview with GQ, co-creator Wagner teased,

"We hope that the story unfolds in a way that is interesting and explains it, and guides us through it. I think people's intentions are - especially on the wasteland, but also in the pre-war world - are all worth second-guessing, is what I'd say about that."

While co-creator Roberston-Dworet further noted,

"What exactly her precise motive is is something we're very excited to dive into more in season two, but I wouldn't ever underestimate Lucy's curiosity as something that's motivating her deep down. As much as she leaves to find her father in the pilot, she also wants to fuckin' know what's out that door. The Ghoul seems to know a hell of a lot more about this world than she does. There's a certain amount of ‘I want to understand, I want to leave the cave again.’ In a way, it's a mirror image to the pilot."
