We’re returning to the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Southern California sooner than one might think. That’s right, Prime Video’s acclaimed series based on the video game of the same name, Fallout, has officially wrapped production on Season 2. To celebrate, the show’s official social media handles posted about this unlocked achievement in the best way they knew how: with a video of Walton Goggins ripping his Ghoulish face off for all the world to see. Because who doesn’t need more Walton Goggins in their life right now, you feel me? With The White Lotus and The Righteous Gemstones no longer on our screens, we were afraid we might have to traverse this arid clime with nary a whiff of Walt. Thankfully, the universe threw us a face-melted bone.
In a new video we first saw posted to X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter), Fallout announced the good news via twinkly, jazzy music playing over a video of Goggins tearing his face a new one (sort of?) in slow motion. It’s exactly what we’ve all come to expect from the delightfully strange and subversive series though, no? But don’t just take our word for it, watch the video for yourself, below:

‘Fallout’ Season 2 Apparently Takes The Story To “A Whole Nother Level”
Based on the extremely popular video game series of the same name, Fallout is — according to the official synopsis from Prime Video — “the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have.”
It goes on:
Two-hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them. Ella Purnell is Lucy, an optimistic Vault-dweller with an all-American can-do spirit. Her peaceful and idealistic nature is tested when she is forced to the surface to rescue her father. Aaron Moten is Maximus, a young soldier who rises to the rank of squire in the militaristic faction called Brotherhood of Steel. He will do anything to further the Brotherhood’s goals of bringing law and order to the wasteland. Walton Goggins is the Ghoul, a morally ambiguous bounty hunter who holds within him a 200-year history of the post-nuclear world. These disparate parties collide when chasing an artifact from an enigmatic researcher that has the potential to radically change the power dynamic in this world.
The series — from Kilter Films and executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy of Westworld fame — also starred Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Sarita Choudhury (Homeland), Michael Emerson (Person of Interest), Leslie Uggams (Deadpool), Frances Turner (The Boys), Dave Register (Heightened), Zach Cherry (Severance), Johnny Pemberton (Ant-Man), Rodrigo Luzzi (Dead Ringers), Annabel O’Hagan (Law & Order: SVU), and Xelia Mendes-Jones (The Wheel of Time) in Season 1.
And according to Goggins, we are in for a treat when Season 2 rolls through: “I can tell you that 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. We’re working really hard to make that happen.” Obviously, we’ll be here waiting with baited breath (so long as the air is still okay to breathe).
