Series. The new season will pick up in the aftermath of Season 1’s epic finale and take audiences along for a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas.

Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Some 200 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. Read more about the much-anticipated new season over here.

Starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, Moisés Arias, Kyle MacLachlan, Justin Theroux, Kumail Nanjiani, Macaulay Culkin and Sarita Choudhury.
