‘Fallout’ Season 2 teaser is all about New Vegas and Mr. House
In its first season, Fallout cemented itself as one of the best video game adaptations of all time. Not only did it deliver a wildly fun apocalyptic adventure that stayed true to the spirit of the games, it also racked up critical acclaim and 16 Emmy nominations, winning one for Outstanding Music Supervision.
Now, Fallout‘s much-anticipated second season is nearly upon us, and it’s taking viewers to one of the most important locations in all the Fallout franchise: New Vegas, where fan-favorite game Fallout: New Vegas takes place.
Given Fallout: New Vegas‘ popularity, it was only a matter of time before Fallout brought the game’s post-apocalyptic take on Las Vegas to the small screen. The series confirmed Season 2 would take place in New Vegas in its Season 1 finale, when Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan) headed there following his confrontation with his daughter, Lucy (Ella Purnell).
Season 2 sees Lucy and the Ghoul (Walton Goggins) hot on Hank’s trail, while Maximus (Aaron Moten) and the Brotherhood of Steel gear up for battle. The first teaser for Season 2 also offers glimpses at more pre-war flashbacks to the Ghoul’s former life as actor Cooper Howard. In the teaser, he heads to Las Vegas, where he meets up with Robert House (Justin Theroux), whom game players will recognize as the ruler of New Vegas.
Mr. House isn’t the only major element from Fallout: New Vegas on display in the teaser for Season 2. Also present are members of Caesar’s Legion, suited up for war. Plus, the trailer confirms that Season 2 will feature a major enemy from across the Fallout games: a Deathclaw. Color me scared, but also more than ready to return to the wasteland.
Fallout Season 2 premieres Dec. 17 on Prime Video.
