Fallout star Walton Goggins has said the second season of the hit Amazon Prime Video show will “blow [the first] out the water”.

An adaptation of the hit video game series, Prime Video’s Fallout became the most-streamed show on the platform when it was released in April 2024. It was also nominated for 16 Emmy Awards and inspired a “surge” of people to play the games.

Walton Goggins, who stars as The Ghoul in the show, has now given an update on season two.

Speaking to Deadline, he said: “We’re in the middle of filming it right now, we’ve been at it since November, and I can tell you that I thought season one was extraordinary, personally, I was very pleased with it.”

“This blows it out of the water, what these writers have done and the artisans that have come together to tell this story. It’s really gonna be something,” he continued. “I can’t wait for people to see it. We’re working really hard to make that happen.”

Fallout had been due to resume production after a Christmas break last month but was delayed due to the Los Angeles wildfires.

Season one ended with the three main protagonists of Fallout (Ella Purnell’s Lucy, Goggin’s The Ghoul and Aaron Moten’s Maximus) heading to what used to be Las Vegas. Showrunner Graham Wagner has since confirmed that a version of Fallout: New Vegas’ Mr. House will play a big role in the upcoming season.  

Also joining season two of Fallout is Macaulay Culkin in a recurring role. Not much else has been shared about his character but it’s believed he’ll play a “a crazy genius-type character.”

According to Bethesda director Todd Howard, everything that happens in Fallout is canon to the lore of the video games. He later revealed that several plot points from the TV show were rewritten to avoid clashes with plans for future Fallout games.

In other news, Monster Hunter Wilds is hosting an extended open beta this weekend, allowing fans the chance to play a version of the game early.
