There are a surprisingly large amount of video game adaptions on television these days, but Amazon Prime’s Fallout was one of the best, arriving late last year to strong critical praise and high viewership. It remains to be seen if Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy can keep up that level of quality and polish (their Westworld wavered a bit over the seasons). We can’t spot anything in the new trailer released today that gives us any worries, though.
Season One ended with Lucy MacLean’s innocence being truly shattered and her teaming up with the one person she never thought she would: the Ghoul. She lost a finger to this dude; she can’t be happy about the arrangement. Even still, there’s nobody else you’d rather have on your side in the nuked wasteland that is the Fallout world. They’re headed to Las, er, New Vegas to track down Hank, which is lorded over by Mr. House. House was briefly shown in flashback during Season One and will appear a lot more in Season Two — in more flashbacks AND in the present day — played by Justin Theroux.
There isn’t that much in the way of new information in this trailer, beyond the part where the Ghoul says his biggest goal is to track down his family. Keep in mind this guy is over 200 years old. This means he believes they were irradiated like he was and could be out there as Ghouls too — but does he have any evidence?
While all the episodes of Fallout Season One were dumped at once, Amazon’s got too big a hit to allow that twice…so Season Two will get the weekly drip-feed. The retro-futuristic apocalypse returns December 17.
