Some exciting plans for Fallout Season 2 were unveiled by the series’ co-showrunners, Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner, who announced that the second part of the post-apocalyptic drama will explore the world of New Vegas.
Prime Video’s Fallout, led by Ella Purnell as the young vault dweller Lucy MacLean, saw the popular video game series get the live-action series adaptation treatment. Intending to “explore all the wonderful details of the game” the series is based on, the showrunners have shared some of their plans for Season 2.
What to expect in Fallout Season 2?
“We’re so interested in that pre-war world. I think we want to live in that world as much as it can be tolerated. I know we’ve got a lot of story to move forward in the ‘present day’ of our story, but we’re just so dangerously enamored by the pre-war world as well that we can just hang out there almost too much,” Wagner said in an interview with TheWrap.
As shown at the end of the first season, the showrunners also confirmed that Season 2 will be heading to a new territory: New Vegas.
“New Vegas is a game that we really admire in so many ways. There’s so much mythology that we’re really excited to be able to explore from that game,” said Robertson-Dworet. “New Vegas has so many great ideas in it and has so much fun. And at the same time, it’s very dark.”
Wagner then chimed in, saying, “We’ll definitely be hanging out in the world of New Vegas and getting into that installment quite a bit actually.”
The pair also teased that Season 2 will feature more robots and that they will move filming to California, which — according to Wagner — is an ideal place to film, as it contains “an abundance of rad stuff.”
“Robots are hard to do. They’re expensive and they’re easy to do badly. To do a robot really well is a lot of work and we’ve figured out how to do the Mr. Handy robot. So that’s in our repertoire now. I think that this season is to expand that repertoire by at least two more robots,” Wagner continued.
While the release date for Season 2 has yet to be announced, the showrunners revealed in a previous interview that the second season will be “as fast as humanly possible.”
Apart from Purnell, Fallout also stars Walton Goggins, Aaron Moten, Kyle MacLachlan, Moisés Arias, and Xelia Mendes-Jones. Fallout Season 1 is available to stream on Prime Video.
“Two-hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them,” the synopsis for Season 1 reads.
