Fallout season 2 is getting another major star added to its already star-studded cast with Home Alone‘s Macaulay Culkin. Earlier this year, the first season of Fallout debuted on Prime Video and was an immediate hit. The show was praised by fans and critics alike for being a compelling drama infused with dark humor that also took a lot of care in respecting the source material. It’s the latest in a series of wins for video game adaptations, a genre that was previously seen as cursed and risky. However, it seems like Hollywood is finally starting to crack the code and Amazon is eager to keep makiing more Fallout.
With that said, season 2 is well into development and is expected to begin shooting as soon as this month. News around the second season has been fairly scarce, but the first season set up a lot of interesting threads such as taking its characters to New Vegas, a fan-favorite setting from one of the games. With that said, the first piece of casting news has dropped for Fallout season 2. According to Deadline, Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin will be in the second season, but there’s no word on who he is playing. The report only notes that sources indicate he will be playing a “crazy genius-type character.” Of course, the Fallout TV series does not directly adapt any of the games and even chronologically takes place after them. Naturally, there aren’t many familiar faces in the show, so fans probably shouldn’t expect Culkin to be someone from the games.
