Some lucky survivors took refuge in various underground vaults; others were left to scavenge a meager existence on the highly radioactive surface.<\/p>\n<p>In S1, we met Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell), a young woman whose vault is raided by surface dwellers. The raiders kill many vault residents and kidnap her father, Hank (Kyle MacLachlan), so the sheltered Lucy sets out on a quest to find him. Life on the surface is pretty brutal, but Lucy learns fast. Along the way, she finds an ally (and love interest) in Maximus (Aaron Moten), a squire masquerading as a knight of the Brotherhood of Steel. And she runs afoul of a gunslinger and bounty hunter known as the Ghoul (Walton Goggins), a former Hollywood actor named Cooper Howard who survived the original nuclear blast, but radiation exposure turned him into, well, a ghoul.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> Jennifer Ouellette<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/culture\/2025\/08\/fallout-s2-teaser-brings-us-to-new-vegas\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Video has dropped an extended teaser for the much-anticipated second season of Fallout , widely considered to be among the best TV adaptations of a gaming franchise.
