Amazon's Prime Video has just dropped a monumental new trailer for the highly anticipated second season of its critically acclaimed series, Fallout, giving fans their first proper look at the post-apocalyptic world and its new inhabitants, including a near-unrecognisable Macaulay Culkin.
An Epic First Look
The action-packed trailer promises a triumphant return for the show, which is based on one of the most celebrated video game franchises of all time. It confirms that the main stars from the first season will be back, including Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, and Walton Goggins. Furthermore, it unveils exciting new cast additions such as Kumail Nanjiani and, most notably, Macaulay Culkin, the former child star of Home Alone fame.
While the exact nature of their roles is still shrouded in mystery, sharp-eyed fans have noted that Culkin appears to be dressed in the distinctive attire of Caesar's Legion, one of the many factions from the games making its appearance this season.
Journey to the Mojave and New Vegas
This new season is set to dive deep into the lore of the games, drawing significant inspiration from the fan-favourite title, Fallout: New Vegas. The storyline will pick up directly after the epic finale of Season One, taking audiences on a perilous journey through the irradiated wasteland of the Mojave Desert to the glimmering, post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas.
The trailer also gave a thrilling first look at another major character being brought to life from the games: Mr. House, who will be portrayed by Justin Theroux. The synopsis from Amazon sets the scene, describing a world of "haves and have-nots" where the sheltered inhabitants of luxury vaults are forced back into a "highly violent universe" 200 years after the bombs fell.
Fan Reaction and Release Schedule
The reveal has sent the fanbase into a frenzy, with viewers quickly taking to social media to share their excitement and theories. One fan exclaimed, "THE HOUSE! THE BEAR THE LEGION OH MY GOD!!!", while others speculated that a voice in the trailer could belong to Marcus, a beloved intelligent Super Mutant from the game series.
Mark your calendars: Fallout Season 2 is set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video on December 17, 2025. New episodes will be released weekly, building towards a grand finale on February 4, 2026.
