Get ready, because we’re heading back to the Fallout Wasteland soon enough, as Season 2 of the hit series is on the way. When those amazing Fallout reviews began to drop, praising that the new series was just as good as HBO's The Last of Us and that it has become one of the best video game adaptations ever, we all knew a second season was coming. And it wasn’t that long after the first season ended that it was renewed for Season 2.
But it’s been nearly a year now, and we’re still waiting. Here is when you can expect to see Fallout Season 2.
What Is The Fallout Season 2 Premiere Date?
As of updating this in May 2025, we now have a release timeframe! According to Amazon, Fallout Season 2 is set to release at some point in December 2025. We don’t have an exact date yet, but we do know that it will be a part of the 2025 TV release schedule.
This is amazing news – and also confirmed at that presentation is that Season 3 of the series is already in the works! We’re going to receive a whole lot more Wasteland.
The Fallout Season 2 Cast
Three that will return are Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, and Aaron Moten (as Lucy, the Ghoul, and Maximus, respectively), because all three were featured both in filming updates and in the presentation from Amazon that confirmed when Season 2 will premiere, so you can expect to see them.
Ella Purnell is primarily known for her role in the Yellowjackets cast during Season 1, while Moten appeared in the sitcom Disjointed and the films Father Stu, Emancipation, and more. Walton Goggins has been in the industry for years and has appeared in films like Lincoln, Predators, and others, including a starring role in the recent season of The White Lotus.
But, it's exciting to see these talented stars take on leading roles in this show and see them in Season 2, especially Lucy (because I love her so much).
While those three were featured on the poster, there are a few others that we can most likely expect to see:
Kyle MacLachlan as Hank Maclean
I don't think any of us were expecting Kyle to be one of the most prominent antagonists of the show, but near the end, we saw just how dangerous he truly is – and how Lucy heads off with the Ghoul to go after him.
Judging by the credits scene, Hank (in a power armor suit) arrives outside a familiar location to Fallout fans. Since he plays a pretty important role in both Lucy and the Ghoul's story, I think it's safe to say we'll most likely see him again.
Moisés Arias as Norm MacLean
As someone who grew up watching Hannah Montana, and loved Arias's famous character on the show, I was so glad to see him in such a big series like Fallout. To me, Norm is one of the most underrated characters in the whole series.
While we know that he's in trouble at the end of Fallout Season 1, I'm assuming that we'll be seeing him again – as he tries to figure out how to get out of the sticky situation he's gotten himself into.
What Is Fallout Season 2 Going To Be About?
There are so many directions that Fallout could go now that Season 2 is confirmed, but here is what we know so far:
Fallout Will Continue To Follow The Same Story As Season 1
Something that we do know from that special Amazon presentation is that we have a bare bones basics idea of where the story is going to go. From Deadline, all we know is that the series will pick up right after the aftermath of Season 1, where it will take “viewers on a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas.”
So there’s your confirmation right there that New Vegas is going to happen. If you watched the finale of Fallout Season 1, and you saw where Hank ended up, you might need clarification if you're watching Fallout without playing the games. But, for seasoned players, we all know that place – New Vegas is the setting of one of Fallout's most popular games.
Since both Hank and Lucy are heading in that direction, I have a feeling it’s going to be an epic showdown. We also know that Robert House, who briefly appeared in the television series, will have a larger role in Season 2, according to Variety, and will return – as his character is synonymous with New Vegas.
Season 2 Will Dive Into Lucy's Motive As To Why She Followed The Ghoul
If you watched the final episode of Fallout Season 1, you might be wondering why Lucy would head out with the Ghoul to try and track down her dad. Most would probably expect her to go it alone after everything the Ghoul put her through – but she goes with him.
The creators of the show, Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet, spoke about this to GQ in April 2024, and said Season 2 would dig into Lucy's reasoning as to why she followed him:
What exactly her precise motive is is something we're very excited to dive into more in Season 2, but I wouldn't ever underestimate Lucy's curiosity as something that's motivating her deep down. As much as she leaves to find her father in the pilot, she also wants to fuckin' know what's out that door. Similarly, over the course of the season, she's learned that everything she thought about the world, in her vault, was wrong, right? She was misled. And she's just learned that in a deeply emotional way in the final moments of the finale…the Ghoul seems to know a hell of a lot more about this world than she does. There's a certain amount of 'I want to understand, I want to leave the cave again.' In a way, it's a mirror image to the pilot.
With the Ghoul and Lucy together, that means that there’s a lot of paths where craziness, both good and bad, could happen. Walton Goggins, in an interview with Complex in March 2025, says that Season 2 takes it to a “whole nother level” in terms of story:
Now that people understand what the world is, this story just takes it to a whole nother level. I've been around a long time and usually, a show that people are attracted to, with that license, the second season really starts cooking, right? That's when some real magic can happen. And we're deep into season 2. It say a lot about a lot- it stays in the lanes of the tone that was set but then veers outside of them in the most interesting ways.
Okay, well, this just makes me even more excited – and nervous, but mainly excited.
Moisés Arias Says Norm's Intelligence Will Be Key To Him Not Falling Asleep For 200 Years After The Finale
The last thing we can expect to see in Season 2 is Norm trying to find a way out of his situation. At first, it seems like he is trapped, but the actor behind Norm, Moisés Arias, says he has faith in the character. He talked about the storyline in an interview with ScreenRant in April 2024 and how he thinks Norm will find a way out using his 'intelligence:'
So I was staring at a blank void, trying to understand what I was looking at, too. I don't think there's one option, I think there's multiple. Now, is it on the page, or is it obvious? No. But I guess, like you said, Norm is going to use his intelligence to hopefully not be asleep for 200 years.
Filming Is Complete
With a confirmed release timeframe, it’s no surprise that Fallout Season 2 has officially come to an end with its filming. The official X page confirmed the news in May 2025:
Achievement unlocked! Fallout Season 2 has wrapped production. pic.twitter.com/cbLNCvLLRBMay 8, 2025
I seriously cannot wait to see all these characters again!
