Falloutseason 2’s release month has been revealed. The Prime Video sci-fi series, which starsElla Purnell, Walton Goggins, and Aaron Moten, debuted to rave reviews and became a massive hit for the streamer just last year. The post-apocalyptic series follows Lucy (Purnell), a Vault dweller who has survived underneath the nuclear wasteland formerly known as the USA. When her father, played by Kyle MacLachlan, goes missing, Lucy must leave the Vault for the first time in her life in search of him.
The end of season 1 saw Lucy heading to New Vegas with The Ghoul (Goggins) and Maximus (Moten) and nowPrime Videohas revealed that the series will return this December on the streamer. Alongside the release month, Prime also revealed a poster for the series, which teases the trio arriving in New Vegas. Check out the first look at the season below:
What This Means For Fallout Season 2
New Vegasis an iconic location from the gamesFalloutis based on, so the arrival of the trio in the city is highly anticipated. They’re heading there in the hopes of finding Lucy’s dad, Hank, who she briefly reunited with at the end of season 1 before he betrayed her and went on the run again. Now that Lucy, the Ghoul, and Maximus have teamed up, though, Hank won’t just have Lucy to answer to.
There will also be the citizens of New Vegas to contend with. There are sure to be new creatures and dangerous new survivors that the trio will encounter in their efforts to find Hank and solve the mysteries of the Vault and the increasingly dangerous world around them.
Our Take On Fallout Season 2’s Release Month
Falloutwill be returning a little over a year and a half after it first premiered, marking a quick turnaround for the streaming series. Typically, shows of this size take quite a long time to turnaround new seasons, with the average being two years. Amazon clearly saw thatFalloutcould buck this trend, especially after the show’s massive success, and this bodes well for the future of the series.
By staying current and turning around seasons quickly, the audience is less likely to wane in their interest and, with a show as big asFallout, that’s especially important. There’s also so much of the world to explore that leaves the door open for many seasons if the success continues. Now that people will have plenty of time over the holidays to watchFalloutseason 2, it’s almost guaranteed that the new episodes will be another win for Prime.
