After its debut season proved to be one of Amazon's biggest TV series ever, Fallout season 2 has officially been confirmed, so we'll be returning to the wasteland at some point in the near future.
Based on the popular series of video games, Fallout season 1 introduced us to three survivors living in the post-apocalyptic USA. Through their individual adventures we learned more about the world of the show, and towards the end of the season they came together in pursuit of some important answers.
The show quickly became one of the most-watched shows on Prime Video, the streaming service it was created for, and we've got a guide on how to watch Fallout if you haven't seen it yet. Because of this, a second season was all but guaranteed.
Beyond confirmation of the renewal, though, what do we know about the return of the Fallout TV show? Well, here's everything we know so far about Fallout season 2...
Fallout season 2 release date
Since the series has only just been renewed, it's hard to say when season 2 will arrive on Prime Video. Don't expect it before 2025 though.
When it arrives, Fallout season 2 will almost definitely join its first season on Prime Video.
Fallout season 2 cast
In a poster confirming Fallout season 2, all three leads of the first season were shown, implying that they'll be back.
This means that Ella Purnell should return as Vault Dweller turned Wasteland explorer Lucy, while Walton Goggins and Aaron Morten should be back as The Ghoul and Brotherhood of Steel paladin, Maximus.
If the final shot of season 1 is anything to go by, Kyle MacLachlan is also likely to return as Lucy's father, Hank, who had been keeping his own dark secrets throughout the course of the series.
When we have further casting information, we'll let you know.
Fallout season 2 plot
** Contains spoilers for Fallout season 1**
As mentioned above, the first season of Fallout dealt us some pretty big reveals, especially in episode 8. So it's looking likely that the second season will expand upon what we saw.
One of the most exciting moments for fans came at the very end of the season finale, where Hank was approaching a very familiar-looking location: the settlement now known as New Vegas. This has led fans to believe that season 2 will be adapted from the 2010 game Fallout: New Vegas.
Meanwhile, Lucy learned the truth about her father, and how he had been involved with Vault-Tec, who have revealed themselves to be quite the sinister organization. As for Maximus, he's been promoted to Brotherhood Knight, so there are plenty of changes in store.
Elsewhere, we saw a glimpse of Robert House during a Vault-Tec meeting, who is an integral part of the video game Fallout: New Vegas, so this could set things up for season 2 very nicely.
