"The Prime Video adaptation of the beloved postapocalyptic video game premieres its second season tonight at 9 p.m. ET, and this time around Fallout is leaving behind California for New Vegas, a fan-favorite location with a new lineup of monsters and villains. Walton Goggins's the Ghoul, né Hollywood star Cooper Howard, who lent his likeness to his wife Barb's (Frances Turner) company Vault-Tec, was horrified to learn she helped plan the nuclear war that plunged the U.S. into its enduring fucked-up state."
"Cheery and resolute Vault 33 dweller Lucy ( Ella Purnell) left her underground home to find her abducted father, Hank (Kyle MacLachlan), and in doing so realized the difficulty of living by the golden rule in a world that's defined by ruthlessness and want. And Maximus (Aaron Moten), a squire of the technology-fetishizing group the Brotherhood of Steel, was tasked with finding and securing valuable cold-fusion technology that could provide infinite energy."
Season two relocates the story from California to New Vegas, presenting new monsters and villains while retaining the same three protagonists. The Ghoul, Cooper Howard, confronts the revelation that his wife helped plan the nuclear war that devastated the U.S. Lucy leaves Vault 33 to search for her abducted father and grapples with moral choices in a ruthless world. Maximus, a Brotherhood of Steel squire, seeks and secures cold-fusion technology promising infinite energy. The first season ended with betrayals, hidden vaults, and the transfer of world-altering technology, setting sprawling narrative stakes for the new season.
