1 month ago 21

The wait in between seasons of our favorite TV shows is never easy, and it can be made all the more unbearable by a production delay. Thankfully, that's not the case with Season 2 of the 2024 smash-hit video game adaptation, Fallout, which appears to be headed right on track to arrive on schedule. Contrary to fan reservations, Fallout premiered to exceptionally rave reviews from critics and fans, who were thoroughly impressed with the show's interpretation of the video game's dystopian wasteland. The last update from the ongoing production for Season 2 was shared by The Ghoul himself when Walton Goggins took to Instagram to share a shot of his make-up process, confirming production. Now, another star, Ella Purnell, who leads the cast as Lucy MacLean, has shared that some solid progress is being made on set.

Purnell shared the latest update while in attendance at the MegaCon Orlando panel. She revealed that production was progressing so quickly that it left her exhausted, while also expressing excitement for fans to see what's been prepared. Much like Season 1, Fallout Season 2 will equally feature some unpredictable twists as teased by Purnell, who hinted that not even the most faithful of fans will be able to detect the surprising turns awaiting us in Season 2. She said:

"It's going to be really good, I think. It's a wild ride. It's a wild ride. I'm really exhausted. We're working really well to get it out on time. I'm excited. I think no one's going to be able to predict what happens. There's some big twists this time around. Yeah, it's so fun."

'Fallout' Season 2 Aims To Outperform Season 1

From its faithful adaptation to a bonkers set design and brilliant writing, Fallout pretty much ticked all the right boxes and, for this reason and more, many perceive it to be one of the best science fiction shows produced in recent times. Naturally, expectations are sky-high for Season 2, which will look to depict the Mojave Wasteland, one of the fan-favorite settings from the games. However, given Purnell's tease, it appears the creatives will match and even surpass those expectations.

Furthermore, Goggins is also pretty confident that Season 2 will deliver another entertaining chapter. The actor recently attended the red carpet premiere of The White Lotus Season 3 (where he plays the irritable Rick) and had some glowing reviews about the quality of Fallout Season 2, teasing that he thinks it will even surpass what Season 1 did. Speaking to Deadline, he said: "I thought season 1 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. I can’t wait for people to see it."

Fallout Season 2 is yet without a release date. However, given how smoothly production is progressing, we forecast that it should arrive in early 2026 at the latest. Season 1 is currently available to stream on Prime Video.
