6 things you might have missed in the new 'Fallout' Season 2 trailer (video)

Fallout Season Two Official Trailer | Prime Video – YouTube

“Fallout” Season 2 and its New Vegas destination are just over the sand dunes, as Prime Video’s adaptation of the iconic video game series rolls out soon, with a fresh 8-episode road trip starting Dec. 17, 2025

Thanks to the previous teasers, we already knew that the show was heading straight to Sin City, and we can’t wait to see Lucy (Ella Purnell) and The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) continue to bond while bantering endlessly along the dry and irradiated trail. Lucy is hot on the hunt for her villainous father, Hank (Kyle MacLachlan), and The Ghoul is determined to find his lost family. Together they’ll battle vicious unholy creatures, hungry warlords, and the tragic, sadistic survivors of the Wasteland.

“I’ve wastelanded for 200 years. I’ve kept myself alive for one reason… to find my family,” The Ghoul shares in Prime Video’s second trailer, reminding fans of his former life as Vault-Tec’s ad-man Cooper Howard before the nukes exploded to ruin everyone’s day.

Best picks for you

That’s not all the trailer has to offer, though; here are some awesome references and details we spotted that you might have missed.

Amongst all the blood and gore being splattered across the trailer, we spotted a familiar face – “Home Alone’s” MacCauley Culkin is making an appearance as an official member of Caesar’s Legion.

We choose to believe it’s canon that Kevin McCallister survived the apocalypse thanks to the skills he picked up foiling the Wet Bandits.

every single Fallout game (as far as we can tell).

We don’t get to see the unfortunate soul on the receiving end of this robo fisting, but it’s safe to assume it doesn’t end well for them

Fallout New Vegas introduced a bunch of wacky factions, but perhaps none stranger than the Kings, a group of survivors inspired by the ideals of the man known only as “The King”… it’s Elvis, they’re a bunch of Elvis worshippers.

Don’t miss these

While they were humans at the time of Fallout: New Vegas, they’ve either expanded their ranks or had a very bad time, because we see multiple Ghoul Kings in the trailer. It doesn’t look like they’re very friendly either, as Lucy promptly blows one of their heads off with a shotgun. Ah, thank you very much.

While they were teased in season one, we never actually got to see a Deathclaw in all its glory during the show’s debut run. Well, that all changes now, as the trailer briefly shows Maximus (Aaron Moten) wearing his NCR Ranger armor and wrestling a Deathclaw in the streets of New Vegas.

We can’t wait to see another classic Vegas fight night… assuming we can actually see it through all that lens flare.

There’s also a deep booming voice that can only belong to a super mutant. It certainly sounds like actor Ron Perlman’s distinctive delivery run through a modifier, and we hope that he’s playing Marcus, the super mutant mayor of Jacobstown, first introduced in “Fallout: New Vegas”.

“Well, then, you’re gonna need friends,” announces this mysterious voice regarding The Ghoul’s personal quest. “There’s a war coming.”
