The Exciting New Addition to Prime Video’s Fallout Season 2
Crack open a Nuka-Cola, folks — the next season of Prime Video’s Fallout just got a little bit more exciting! After the show earned itself a swift Season 2 renewal back in April off the back of stellar reviews and impressive viewing figures, anticipation has steadily been building for our return to Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner’s video game inspired post-nuclear wasteland. Now, we’re finally getting word on the first big new name who’ll be joining us for the ride — and it’s someone with prior experience of surviving in hostile environments on-screen. According to Deadline, none other than Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin has landed a recurring role in the show’s second season.
Macaulay Culkin’s Role in Fallout Season 2
Per Deadline’s reporting, Culkin — whose last major TV appearance was as Mickey in American Horror Story: Double-Feature back in 2021 — is set to play “a crazy genius-type character” in the show, which boasts Westworld architects Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy as producers. Who exactly said crazy genius-type character is anybody’s guess, but with the end of Fallout’s first season teasing a possible Fallout: New Vegas inspired sophomore outing, there’s no shortage of unhinged weirdos Culkin could lend his talents to. Could he play creepy Jet pharmacologist Myron? Techie Tinker Tom? Perhaps another Ghoul alongside his Righteous Gemstones co-star Walton Goggins? A disembodied human brain in a quite literal ‘think tank’ à la Old World Blues’ Klein and co? The possibilities are endless.
Exciting Developments in Fallout Season 2
Whilst we don’t know the specifics of Culkin’s role in things to come just yet, or indeed where exactly Fallout Season 2 is set to take us, the prospect of Culkin entering the Wasteland’s weird and wild expanse is incredibly exciting. And as Amazon continues to bolster the ranks of its Prime Video game-to-screen adaptations elsewhere with the likes of Tomb Raider, God Of War, and Mass Effect all on its horizons, it looks like Fallout is set to continue to be the standard bearer for things to come — which, if the first season is anything to go by, suits us just fine. Now if only we can manifest a scene where a toupée wearing celebrity-turned-despot looking individual is approached by Culkin and asked, “Excuse me, where’s New Vegas?”, then we’ll really be cooking on gas.
