Fallout Series Season 2 Out This December!

It’s no secret that Prime Video’s Fallout series marked a before and after in terms of video game adaptations brought to other media. In fact, during the first season, aired back in April 2024, Jonathan Nolan and his team knew how to set the bar incredibly high for future productions. After its tremendous success, the series secured its renewal almost immediately, which is why Prime Video has decided to double down: the project’s third season has officially been greenlit for production, and the second season will premiere next December 17th!

Yes, I know, and maybe you know it too, and if not, well, it’s about time you face the harsh truth: the end of the year is right around the corner. Come on, let’s cry together… Ok, now, back to what matters, and being optimistic, focusing on the good news, there’s very little left before we can once again enjoy on our screens Lucy MacLean, played by Ella Purnell, and the Ghoul, brought to life by Walton Goggins, on their long-awaited journey to New Vegas, perhaps the most iconic enclave of Bethesda’s famous saga.

The dramatic focus now shifts to the relationship between Lucy’s combative innocence and the amoral pragmatism of the irradiated bounty hunter. Ella Purnell describes it as a clash of opposite forces that will be highly noticeable on screen: the contrast that emerges between pure “buddy movie” moments and others of complete frontal collision, with both characters trying to influence each other, which raises some questions along the way. Will Lucy manage to soften the Ghoul? Or on the contrary, will she end up hardening herself and embracing her dark side?… Maybe they’ll reach a middle ground that brings out the best of both, but of course, we’ll have to wait until December to find out 😉

And amid that uncertainty, we welcome New Vegas. This location promises not only to serve as a nostalgic backdrop and fanservice for players; in fact, the series plans to turn the city into another character, with its decaying neon lights, its factions, and its philosophy that “everything can be bought, everything can be sold”. The first season stood out for several reasons: meticulous production design, well-integrated practical effects, and a sharp sense of humor, but beyond all that, something that definitely caught our attention was its visual archaeology, expressed through the Brotherhood’s armor, retrofuturistic vaults, creatures, and junk showing the passage of decades. Now, the challenge is to capture the toxic hedonism and casino politics that defined everything New Vegas meant for the video game franchise.

In the middle of that uneasy and fascinating chaos, Lucy, the Ghoul, and Maximus, played by Aaron Moten, will have to make their way through mutated monstrosities, impossible contracts, and moral dilemmas that won’t be solved by charisma rolls. Goggins, in his role as the bounty hunter, will act as the cynical compass of the series, occasionally showing glimpses of his prewar past life as Cooper Howard. Opposite him, Lucy will continue her journey from the innocence of the vault to a survival guided by principles, crossing a wasteland determined to throw obstacles in her path. Without a doubt, this upcoming season already has its emotional core perfectly set.

So…

Please don’t cry again, I promise I won’t either. But as we’ve said, December is almost here, so before we even realize it we’ll be enjoying the new season of the Fallout series on Prime Video. With direction by Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet, and alongside Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy as executive producers, this second season has the gamer community’s hype through the roof!
