A new poster for Prime Video’s Fallout Season 2 has been released, revealing the season’s location and when the show is coming back.
Starring Walton Goggins as Cooper Howard/The Ghoul, Ella Purnell as Lucy MacLean, Aaron Moten as Maximus and Kyle MacLachlan as Hank MacLean, Season 1 of Fallout — based on Bethesda Softworks’ blockbuster video game series of the same name — was a massive hit on Prime Video in 2024.
Created by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner, and executive produced by Jonathan Nolan, Fallout Season 1 was nominated for 16 Primetime Emmy Awards, winning one for Outstanding Music Supervision. The Emmy nominations for Fallout included Outstanding Drama Series, as well as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Goggins.
The teaser poster for Fallout Season 2 was published exclusively by IGN on Friday, which shows silhouettes of The Ghoul, Lucy, Maximus and the canine Dogmeat walking in the sandy, deserted environs of the former Las Vegas, now called New Vegas. Go to IGN to see the full version of the poster, which is teased in the image below.
While no specific premiere date was released, the teaser poster indicated that Fallout Season 2 was returning in December.
Walton Goggins Says ‘Fallout’ Season 2 ‘A Mashup’ Of Three Sci-Fi Classics
During a recent Zoom conversation with Walton Goggins about his recent Doritos Golden Sriracha-flavored comedy film short, A Spicy But Not Too Spicy Plumber, the Cooper Howard/The Ghoul actor teased the upcoming season of Fallout.
While Goggins noted that he’s not at liberty to talk about anything specific, he’s thrilled with what’s coming as a fan of everybody else’s work on the show in front of and behind the camera.
“Not being a gamer but being a fan of this universe and a fan of this story, man, what we have in the can is a mashup of — and I’m gonna say, this is gonna sound so random — but Indiana Jones meets Doctor Strangelove meets the Star Wars [Cantina], and so far it’s surpassed my expectations,” Goggins enthused.
Given Goggins’s career in both film and television has spanned decades, he’s developed a keen sense when a show is firing on all burners.
“I’ve been around, so I understand the arcs of seasons and understand if Season 1 catches fire, Season 2 should be better … That’s when you’re really hitting your stride,” Goggins explained. “The critics will have their point of view or whatever, but I can tell you from my perspective, we’ve hit our stride and we’re telling this story in such a subversive way that it’s so fun to watch with real consequences. I just can’t wait for people to see it.”
Goggins, of course, is coming off the success of The Righteous Gemstones, which just ended its four-season run. Goggins also starred in The White Lotus Season 3, which earned multiple Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series and an Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series nomination for Goggins.
Fallout Season 2 will return to Prime Video in December.
