Fallout Season 2: Everything to Expect!

With Prime Video officially announcing ‘Fallout’ Season 2 on April 18, fans of the popular video game franchise and newly adapted TV series have begun speculating about Season 1’s many mysteries and unresolved plot points.

Fans definitely got what they wanted to see in Prime Video’s Fallout season 1, but what can they expect from Fallout season 2? While we recover from the radiation exposure left by Fallout Season 1’s nuclear-sized cliffhanger, here is everything to expect from Fallout Season 2, according to online fan theories and predictions!

The Introduction to New Vegas

As the final scene of Fallout Season 1 ends with the loving father and murderous psychopath Hank MacLean arriving in New Vegas, fans of Obsidian Entertainment’s Fallout: New Vegas (2010) are pumped to see the ruins of the prewar city of Las Vegas appear in Fallout Season 2!

Why Hank MacLean Has Traveled to New Vegas

What happens in New Vegas, stays in New Vegas–unless you fall victim to one of the Mojave’s brutal gang factions or irradiated creatures! Speaking of wasteland creatures, Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan) walks past the dried skull of a Deathclaw, which happens to be one of the most dangerous of all abominations found within the surrounding area of New Vegas.

Though a neat easter egg for fans, the real meat and potatoes of Fallout Season 1’s ending scene, is the reveal of New Vegas and the question of why Hank has arrived here! Fans are speculating that the former assistant executive of Vault-Tec and former overseer of Vault 33, is headed to meet up with Mr. House, the cyborg ruler of New Vegas. Serving as a brief Fallout season 1 cameo in his human form, during the boardroom meeting scene of Vault-Tec proposing nuclear annihilation to bump up their sales numbers, Mr. House went on to become a cyborg by the events of Fallout: New Vegas. With 15 years separating the events of the game and the series, fans will have to wait until Fallout Season 2 to see if Mr. House is still around to control the city of New Vegas.

Episode 1’s scene in Fallout of the bombs dropping in Los Angeles introduced fans to the once famous actor, Cooper Howard (Walton Goggins), who unfortunately loses his family and turns into a ghoul in the process. While it isn’t directly shown what the outcome of the bombs had on his daughter, Janey (Teagan Meredith) and wife, Barb (Frances Turner), fans are hoping for this question to be answered by Fallout’s second season of the series.

Deathclaws, Geckos, Cazadors and Securitrons!
