‘Fallout' season 2 gets major update — here's what that could mean for the release window
She shared a behind-the-scenes photo alongside her on-screen dad, Kyle MacLachlan, confirming that production has powered down after months of shooting that kicked off back in November 2024. With cameras now off and post-production firing up, the countdown to season 2 on Prime Video debut has officially begun.

You're probably eager to know when new episodes might drop. Of course, we don't have a date right now, but we can make an educated guess based on the timeline.
If season 2 follows a post-production timeline similar to the first (filming finished in March 2023 and the show released in April 2024), we might see these characters return to our screens in just over a year — potentially setting up a premiere sometime in late spring 2026. Keep in mind this is just speculation.
With season 2 expected to dive into the expansive and iconic setting of New Vegas, the scale of production could be even more ambitious this time around. A larger world, more elaborate sets, and heightened visual effects might all be on the table, which means post-production could take longer than it did for season 1. So we could get a later release window.
In the meantime, if you're itching for a little behind-the-scenes fix, check out this Instagram video of Walton Goggins ripping off his ghoul prosthetics in celebration of season 2 wrapping filming. It's oddly satisfying?
'Fallout' season 2 is set to focus heavily on both Lucy (Ella Purnell) and Hank (Kyle MacLachlan), following the intense showdown at the Griffith Observatory that closed out season 1.

The finale finally united the show's three main characters — Lucy, Maximus of the Brotherhood of Steel (Aaron Moten), and the mysterious Ghoul (Walton Goggins) — as they tracked down Moldaver (Sarita Choudhury) and the critical cold fusion tech. But just as Lucy thought she was saving her father, she's hit with a series of devastating revelations about who Hank truly is and the atrocities he's committed.
When he's confronted, Hank escapes in a suit of power armor, seemingly heading for New Vegas. Now, Lucy and The Ghoul are on his trail, determined to uncover long-buried truths and confront whoever is truly pulling the strings.
Purnell and Goggins shared updates about what to expect in season 2. When speaking at the MegaCon Orlando panel (h/t Screen Rant), Purnell said: 'It's going to be really good, I think. It's a wild ride. No one's going to be able to predict what happens. There's some big twists this time around.'
Meanwhile, Goggins told Deadline: '[Season 2] blows it out of the water, what these writers have done and the artisans that have come together to tell this story. It's really gonna be something. I can't wait for people to see it. We're working really hard to make that happen.'
On Kinda Funny Gamescast, game director Todd Howard assured fans that 'Fallout' season 2 will respect the open-ended nature of New Vegas. While it's tricky to canonize a game with multiple endings, the showrunners aim to avoid contradicting player experiences. Howard emphasized preserving the game's legacy without declaring a single outcome, keeping the spirit of player choice intact.
And of course, season 2 will feature the iconic Deathclaws, considering we saw the skeleton of one at the end of season 1, and the set photos offer some pretty solid evidence.
As much as I'm excited to see more terrifying creatures in action, what I'm really eager for is the arrival of the weirder, wilder factions. Season 1 did an impressive job laying the groundwork like establishing the main characters and setting the tone, but it only scratched the surface when it came to the Wasteland's various groups. With season 2 heading into New Vegas territory, we're likely in for a much deeper dive into the region's big players.
We already got glimpses of the New California Republic and the Brotherhood of Steel, but now there's a real chance we'll encounter factions like Caesar's Legion, the Great Khans, and maybe even the eerie White Glove Society — or at the very least, hints that they're lurking nearby.
We have a while to wait until 'Fallout' season 2 graces our screens. And it'll be a few months until we even get a teaser trailer. But for now, watch the best shows like 'Fallout' to fill the void or stream season 1 again on Prime Video.

The star showed the extent of a mother's love when she fiercely defended her eldest son in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, which has now resurfaced online. Re-shared this year by Instagram fan account, @celinedionfashion, the clip showed Celine being interviewed by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and things took a turn when Ellen asked when she was going to cut off her son's long hair. "Do you have a problem with that?" was Celine's speedy response. "Whatever I will do, I won't please everyone," she quipped, and also went on to reveal that "Rene-Charles makes his own decisions." MORE TO READ Celine Dion opens up about how her three sons have privately dealt with her health battle Fans praised how Celine handled the situation with one writing: "Celine did that with style, education and respect! She's amazing!" and another adding: "Do you have a problem with that? Put Ellen in place right there." A third penned: "Sooooo classy! So admirable, Céline!" and a fourth added: "Glad Ellen is not on TV anymore; she was not kind." Mum-of-one Features Editor, Miranda Thompson, shares her experience on unsolicited advice about children. "When it comes to unwanted advice about my son, I have to always try to remember people think they're being helpful, not malicious, and that it's likely they're trying to offer their own support in their own way. If it really winds me up, I'll take a deep breath and vent to a mum chat later!" she says. Celine shares her sons with late music producer René Angélil, who sadly passed away in 2003. On Father's Day, Celine shared a heartfelt message to her late husband. "You may no longer be by our side, but your love lives within us.

Brittany Snow's Rumored Boyfriend, Hunter Moreno, Shows Her Support After 'The Hunting Wives' Release
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. THE RUNDOWN In October 2024, The Hunting Wives actress Brittany Snow was seen with a mystery man in New York City in photos shared by the Daily Mail. He was identified as cinematographer Hunter Moreno, and the pair looked very cozy, sharing a kiss while walking Snow's dog. The actress was wearing a Yankees cap, long black coat, and wide-legged pants for the outing with a pair of sunglasses. Moreno was in a baseball cap, jeans, and a big white hoodie. A year earlier, Snow divorced ex-husband Tyler Stanaland, known for his role on Selling The OC, a spin-off of the popular Netflix reality show, Selling Sunset. The former couple announced their split in September 2022 in a joint statement on Instagram that is now deleted, saying, 'This decision was made with love and mutual respect for one another. We have realized we need to take some time and make sure we are each living our most fulfilling and authentic lives. We started this journey as best friends and our relationship will continue to be a priority not only for us but for our dog Charlie.' Fans were intrigued by her new flame and wanted to know more about Moreno after they were spotted together. Here's what there is to know about Moreno and his relationship with Snow so far. Moreno is a creative director, cinematographer, and photographer who has worked with celebrities like Selena Gomez, Cara Delevingne, Reneé Rapp, Machine Gun Kelly, Miley Cyrus, and brands like Vogue, Inkd Magazine, and Madewell. He started his career in Los Angeles, filming YouTube videos for growing influencers. He seems to have been working on directing more music videos in 2024, and was just nominated for a directing award at the People's Choice Country Awards. He also briefly dated Tana Mongeau in 2017, and they remain good friends, according to Perez Hilton. Moreno is the co-founder and creative director of Make Sure Your Friends Are OK, or MSYFAO. The organization sells merchandise and then donates a portion of the profits to mental health charities. In an episode of Recovering From Reality with Alexis Haines, he says he was inspired by his own struggles with mental health issues. Mental health is an important issue to Snow as well, who co-wrote a book titled September Letters about issues around mental well-being, partnering with the Mental Health Coalition. In January, Snow tagged Moreno in a series of photos taken of her for a Netflix press event, crediting him for photographing her. She wrote, 'I was asked to hang out a little bit with my friends at @nightagentnetflix. I got to be an agent and run around the streets of Bangkok. Weirdly, I did not wear this dress. 🤍* press for season 2 *' As of July 2025, the two still follow each other on Instagram, and Moreno has liked almost all her recent Instagrams. She also regularly likes his posts. No, as of August 2025, neither Moreno nor Snow has addressed speculation about their relationship.
