Amazon Prime's Fallout TV series gears up for its second season, beginning filming this November. The news comes from returning cast member Leslie Uggams (Betty Pearson), who confirmed the start date to Screen Rant.
Season 2 Cast and Plot Hints
While the full cast remains unconfirmed, Ella Purnell (Lucy MacLean) and Walton Goggins (Cooper "The Ghoul" Howard) are expected to return. Uggams hinted at surprising developments for her character, Betty Pearson, a Vault-Tec executive assistant, teasing, "Betty’s got some things up her sleeve. Just stay tuned."
The storyline is expected to further explore Vault-Tec's machinations and resolve the season one cliffhanger. A tentative release date of 2026 is suggested, considering the production timeline of the first season (filmed July 2022, premiered April 2024).
New Vegas Bound
A significant plot point revealed by producer Graham Wagner is the inclusion of Robert House, the antagonist from Fallout: New Vegas. While the extent of his involvement is unknown, his presence was foreshadowed in a season one flashback.
Wagner and showrunner Robertson-Dworet promise a deeper dive into unexplored narratives from the first season, including expanded backstories on Vault-Tec executives and the origins of the Great War. Expect more flashbacks and character development.
