During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the showrunners Robertson-Dworet and Wagner said they are hesitant to reveal the arrival window because of the internet’s “interesting habit of making non-binding statements binding.”
However, they assure that they “are going as fast as we possibly can, and we’ve got a lot of heavy lifting from Season 1 already done.”
Fallout Season 2 Plot Synopsis – Spoilers Ahead
The show follows three main characters: Lucy MacLean, Maximus, and The Goul. It takes place two centuries after the nuclear attack against Los Angeles in 2077, which ended modern civilization.
After the nuclear attack, many of the survivors took refuge in Vault, a fallout bunker. Lucy is living in one of the bunkers, Vault 33, with her father, and he is taken by Vault 32 visitors led by Lee Moldaver. Lucy decides to go out of the Vault to search for her father.
Maximus is a squire of the Brotherhood of Steel and has been promoted to the rank of squire. Cooper Howard was once a famous actor, and when the nuclear bomb fell, he turned The Goul. At first, the trio’s journeys start differently, but as the series progresses, their stories are intertwined, as they are searching for the same thing: head.
In the first season finale, Lucy learns that her father, Hank, is involved in a conspiracy related to the Vaults. He was an employee of Vault-Tec before the nuclear explosion, and they dropped the bomb.
The Ghoul invited Lucy to find out the Vault-Tec’s leaders. Moldaver activated the fusion reactor before she died to power Los Angeles. The Brotherhood assumed that Maximus was responsible for the demise of Moldaver and declared him as Knight Maximus.
In the second season, Lucy and The Ghoul travel from California to Las Vegas in search of answers. Lucy learns the truth about her father, who has escaped to New Vegas. The Ghoul is trying to track down his family, whose wife, Barb, worked with Hank for Vault-Tec.
