We’re all headed back to the wasteland a little earlier than we first imagined. As per Variety, that’s the news from Amazon, the second season of its hit video game adaptation will debut Wednesday, December 17 at 1 pm AEST — one day earlier than the previously announced December 18 release.
The Fallout Season two release date shift was announced via a collaboration with the Exosphere of Sphere in Las Vegas, which it described as “bringing an element of the season’s journey to New Vegas to life by turning Sphere into a post-apocalyptic snow globe featuring series’ fan-favorite characters Lucy, Maximus and The Ghoul, and surprising with a monstrously large Deathclaw attempting to break through the Exosphere.”
Season two will pick up after the events of season one’s finale, with Lucy and The Ghoul headed through the Mojave to track down Lucy’s father, Hank, who was revealed to be an executive of Vault-Tec, the company behind the series’ pivotal nuclear apocalypse — a rescue mission is now a manhunt, and Lucy and The Ghoul are hot on his tail and are headed to New Vegas.
Fallout Season 2 stars Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, Kyle MacLachlan, Moisés Arias and Frances Turner. The cast recently touched down in Sydney, where we spoke to them about what to expect from season two, and spoke to Walton Goggins (minus the ghoulish makeup) about his career in film and TV.
“I was so grateful for the effort put in by everyone in season one,” Goggins told Rolling Stone AU/NZ.
“Looking at it now, it feels like it’s the overture, like it’s just the beginning. We really begin to look under the covers in this second iteration of this experience, and we know now that we have a season three, so the story will continue.”
Based on the hit Bethesda Game Studios video game franchise of the same name, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two hundred years after the bombs dropped, the sheltered 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 world of rogues, scoundrels and monsters waiting for them.
