Fallout Season 2 Trailer Reveals Surprise Stars, Vault-Tec’s Experiment, and Mr. House’s Survival

As they say in the brutal lands of Fallout: all roads lead to New Vegas.

That saying has never been truer than with what Lucy and the Ghoul will be going through soon. Prime Video released the trailer for Fallout Season 2, which reveals some new information that fans have been speculating on for some time.

The season will premiere on Wednesday, December 17, with a weekly release of eight episodes.

Though previous looks at Fallout Season 2 hinted at the Pre-War era of this post-apocalyptic universe, this trailer opens up the Vault door to unveil the immediate dangers that Lucy, the Ghoul, and Maximus will have to confront.

From the get-go, the trailer presents exciting things fans have waited for. This includes the return of the Kings, an Elvis-inspired mercenary group who’ve been ghoul-ified over the years, as well as Caesar’s Legion, who have surprisingly not died out yet.

Additionally, the trailer reveals that Kumail Nanjiani and Macaulay Culkin will appear in Fallout Season 2, though details about their characters are kept secret.

What seems clear from the trailer is that Nanjiani’s character will be aiding the Brotherhood of Steel in their impending war. The Brotherhood’s enemy remains unknown, but fans recognize the organization’s uneasy relationships with Caesar’s Legion and New Vegas.

As for Culkin’s character, it seems that he does not have a popular reputation within Caesar’s Legion. The scene is kept brief as the trailer also reveals a surprising fact that even old Fallout fans may not see coming.

The Fallout Season 2 trailer makes it clear that Mr. House, a deuteragonist in Fallout: New Vegas, actually survived.

He is seen when the Ghoul encounters him in his tower. How Mr. House survived in this series may be unclear, but there have been a few endings within the game that have seen him survive.

Hank is continuing his experimentations using Vault-Tec’s old technology and making the most of it despite betraying his daughter back in Fallout Season 1. Meanwhile, the Ghoul remains clearly focused on finding his family, revealing that that is his motivation for keeping him alive.

Meanwhile, back in the trifecta of Vaults, it appears that Norm’s discovery of Vault-Tec’s secret plan will motivate him to lead what remains of his community into the Wastelands. However, it seems like Betty disagrees with Norm’s idea and will do anything to stop him.

Fallout stars Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, Kyle MacLachlan, Moisés Arias, and Frances Turner. It is produced by Kilter Films, with executive producers Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, and Athena Wickham. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators, and showrunners.

Todd Howard, Bethesda Game Studios, executive produces along with James Altman for Bethesda Softworks. Amazon, MGM Studios, and Kilter Films produce in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.
