Ella Purnell, Wanton Goggins, and Aaron Moten To Kick Off Fallout Season 2 World Tour In Sydney

Fallout returns to our screens next month, and Prime Video are bringing out the big guns to spruik the new season of their post-apocalyptic hit.

Fallout stars Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, and goggle impresario Walton Goggins will hit the red carpet at Sydney’s Hoyts Entertainment Quarter later this month for a special preview screening of the first two episodes of Fallout season 2. Fans can grab a moment – or try to – on November 24, while anyone lucky enough to get inside will be treated to an exclusive live Q&A.

Premiering on December 17, Fallout season 2 continues Prime Video‘s smash hit adaptation of the hugely popular video game phenomenon. For any technology-averse Tribals out there, Fallout takes place in a retro-futuristic ’50s-flavoured post-apocalyptic world and follows the exploits of Purnell’s idealistic Vault Dweller, Lucy MacLean; Moten’s valiant would-be Brotherhood of Steel knight, Maximus; and Goggins cowboy movie star turned undead bounty hunter, The Ghoul. Honestly, they had me at “Walton Goggins is a zombie gunslinger”.

As the presser breathlessly tells us, “Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two-hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.”

This season is set to take us to New Vegas, the setting of the best game in the entire franchise, with Justin Theroux playing Mr House, the city’s Howard Hughes-like ruler. If you take a look at the teaser, handily embedded below, you’ll a few more familiar sights from the game: the Novac dinosaur, Caesar’s Legion, the odd terrifying Death Claw. The way the series translates the game’s iconography to the screen is really impressive, and absolutely nails the kind of cartoonish grittiness essential to the whole Fallout vibe.
