Walton Goggins, who plays The Ghoul in Fallout, told Complex in an interview posted on its official X account that they are focused on filming Fallout Season 2. He also teased that following the revelations in the first season, the next one would take the story to another level. "We're deep into season 2 of Fallout," Goggins shared. "Now that people understand what the world is, this story just takes it to a whole 'nother level." According to Goggins, he has been in the industry for a long time, and when a show has a strong audience, it doesn't take long for the second season to start "cooking," and "That's when some real magic can happen." He doubled down that they were "deep into season 2" and teased what fans could expect when they return:

It says a lot about a lot- it stays in the lanes of the tone that was set but then veers outside of them in the most interesting ways.

Fallout Season 2 has been in production. Goggins said in February that they were "in the middle of filming it right now." He also shared that he was very happy with Season 1. However, he teased that the writers outperformed their work in the first season by delivering a better story for Season 2. Although the second season hasn't hit the streaming platform yet, there are rumors that Season 3 is already in the pipeline. Entertainment scooper Jeff Sneider previously said in one episode of The Hot Mic that its executive producers, Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, were occupied with Season 2's production and busy planning out its third season.

Fallout Season 2 will take place in New Vegas, promising a blend of glitz and decay while offering a rich backdrop for new storylines and character development. Although it is still in production, fans are hoping it will address unresolved plot threads from Season 1, including Vault-Tec's involvement in the nuclear apocalypse, the secrets behind the enigmatic nature of Vault 4, the Ghoul's past and his transformation, Hank's actions and motivation, and Maximus' allegiance. The Ghoul's story alone is fascinating because he used to be a charismatic Hollywood actor, Cooper Howard, and a Vault-Tec representative. However, following the apocalypse, he transformed from a public figure into a mutated survivor. He was exposed to intense radiation that extended his lifespan but left him with a disfigured face.

Considering the numerous plots waiting to be addressed, Fallout Season 3 is likely to happen. Also, it aligns with the show's impressive performance. Although Season 2 hasn't aired yet, expectations are high that it will do well to make way for another season. The Fallout TV show has a strong viewership and if the second season excels or matches Season 1's performance and reception, Season 3 will be guaranteed. This will be a win-win for Amazon and fans who love the show and want more of it.

Fallout Season 2 is expected to premiere on Amazon Prime Video in 2026.
