Amazon Prime has brought us back into the dystopian world of Fallout with a brand new season. However, this time around, we get to see our protagonists walk into one of the most familiar maps this game has had to offer, and it is none other than New Vegas. So, if we are heading into new territory, we are most definitely getting introduced to new characters along with the ones we are already familiar with, and here is a complete list of the Fallout cast and characters we see in Season 2.
1. Ella Purnell as Lucy MacLean
Ella Purnell’s Lucy is the protagonist of Prime Video’s Fallout TV show, and in the first season, she won over millions of hearts worldwide. It goes without saying that she has returned to the series, who, along with The Ghoul, is on a journey to New Vegas to hunt down her father, Hank, who has betrayed everything she believed he stood for.
2. Walton Goggins as The Ghoul/Cooper Howard
Walton Goggins is one of the most loved and respected veteran actors in Hollywood, and his portrayal of The Ghoul as a dystopian outlaw might be one of the best things about Fallout. In this season, we once again see him make the journey to New Vegas along with Lucy.
While Lucy has the mission of bringing her father to justice, he has the objective of finding his wife and daughter, who are somewhere in a cryopod in Vegas. However, this time around, the Ghoul is not just action and catchy one-liners; we get to see other sides of the character as well, which was a much-needed addition to the character.
3. Frances Turner as Barb Howard
Frances Turner appears in Fallout cast as Barb Howard, a Vault-Tec executive who’s also Cooper, now the Ghouls’ wife. She is one of the people who came up with the idea of dropping the nukes, which in turn resulted in the events of Fallout. Even though she is in a cryopod currently, we will see her in some flashback sequences in Season 2, and considering the Ghoul is looking for her, there is a good chance that we will get to see her in person in Fallout Season 2, other than the flashbacks.
4. Aaron Moten as Maximus
Aaron Moten plays another central character in the story and appears as Maximus in Fallout. He used to be a Squire in the Brotherhood of Steel, but after the events of season 1, he was promoted to being a Knight. In Season 2, we see him still associated with the Brotherhood and commanding respect from other knights. However, he is not happy with it, and it’s more than evident that he wants to go look for Lucy, which he might even do as the show proceeds.
5. Kyle MacLachlan as Hank MacLean
Kyle MacLachlan appears as Lucy’s father, Hank MacLean, who was an undercover Vault-Tec executive, and his true motives were revealed to Lucy by the end of Fallout Season 1. This time around, he has reached the Vault-Tec office located in New Vegas, and it appears that he is trying to continue an experiment that Vault-Tec wants done. However, we don’t have a lot of details regarding it as of now, but hopefully, future episodes will bring us more answers.
6. Moisés Arias as Norm MacLean
Moisés Arias appears as Norm MacLean, Lucy’s brother and Hank’s son, and in his character, we see the best of both worlds: Lucy’s resilience and Hank’s intellect. In the newly released episodes, we see that Norm is trapped in Vault 31 along with Bud’s brain and is trying to figure out a way to escape.
However, with rations running low and everything pointing towards certain death, he takes extreme measures and wakes up a bunch of Vault-Tec executives from cryo sleep to attempt an escape.
7. Macaulay Culkin as a Member of Caesar’s Legion
One of the rather interesting additions to the cast of Fallout Season 2 was Macaulay Culkin, the boy wonder, famously known for his work in the Home Alone movies. In Fallout Season 2, we see him appear as a member of Caesar’s Legion, but his character was nowhere close to being the central focus of the scenes he was in. It appears that his presence was just a cameo, and we will have to wait to see if he will be returning in future episodes.
8. Justin Theroux as Robert House
Justin Theroux takes up the most anticipated character to appear in Fallout Season 2, appearing as Robert. House. His character is easily one of the most complex in the story of Fallout: New Vegas, and the way he has embodied Mr. House in the show is truly commendable. As of now, all we know is that he was working on some kind of chip that would allow him to take control of a person once attached to their spine, but other than that, details are rather scarce as of now.
9. Kumail Nanjiani as Xander Harkness
Kumail Nanjiani, who saw a massive burst of fame after appearing in The Eternals is also appears in Fallout Season 2’s cast as Xander Harkness. He is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel from the Commonwealth and holds the rank of a Paladin, or a high-ranking elite Knight.
We have not seen much of him so far, but it is quite evident that his presence is not exactly appreciated, and even Maximus does not seem to like Xander a lot, so it appears that we will get to see a brand new dynamic between these two characters as the series proceeds, and whatever happens in the upcoming episodes, we will bring you the latest updates as soon as possible
