There's a lot to unpack from the above teaser. Indeed, as well as offering us our best glimpse yet at New Vegas – i.e. one of the primary locations we'll visit this season – there are plenty of surprises hidden within its near-three-minute runtime.

Off the top of my head, I spotted *deep breath* a group of Elvis-inspired ghouls, an unexpected appearance from Kumail Nanjiani (his character's identity hasn't been revealed, FYI), confirmation that Macaulay Culkin is part of this season's cast, a Power Suit-ed Maximus fighting a Death Claw, Lucy and The Ghoul appearing to lead an uprising in New Vegas, Lucy's brother Norm leading a group of Vault dwellers onto the surface, and lots of predictably bloody and explosive action.

But, what else did you spot in the trailer? Let me know in the comments!

Season 2 will premiere on Prime Video on December 17. For more on the show's next installment, read my Fallout season 2 guide.


Original story follows.


Prime Video is set to reveal something big about Fallout's second season – and everyone, myself included, think a new trailer will be released imminently.

Yesterday evening (November 12), I was among those who spotted the scheduling of a new broadcast from the Wasteland on Prime Video's YouTube channel. Said video is due to go live at 7am PST / 10am EST / 3pm GMT today (November 13).

At the time of initial publication, a placeholder card, which displays the 'Please Stand By' message that's synonymous with the Fallout videogame series, is the only thing we've got to look at. That'll remain the case until the video is beamed across the globe.

Nevertheless, it's pretty easy to infer that a new round of footage for the Fallout TV show's sophomore outing will be with us very soon.

Amazon used this 'Please Stand By' hype-generating tactic for season 1's trailers and the first teaser for Fallout season 2. And, with the incredibly popular show's next installment set to make its Prime Video debut on December 17, time is running out to release one final trailer before this season emerges from its vault.

A roomba, a vault – and a potential new character reveal?

Full spoilers immediately follow for Fallout season 1.


Curiously, that isn't the only video scheduled to go live later today. Indeed, another teaser, titled 'Join Brain On A Roomba inside Vault 31', will debut an hour before its footage-based sibling.

Viewers might remember that Brain On A Roomba appeared in the season 1 finale. It was also responsible for trapping Lucy's brother Norm in the aforementioned underground settlement, which is one of the biggest story threads that needs addressing in season 2.

It's likely this video will be one that shows us Brain On A Roomba traversing Vault 31 on a continuous loop until season 2's final trailer arrives. It's also possible that said video will show clips from the season 1 finale in a bid to refresh our memories of where things were left off.

But, what if 'Brain On A Roomba Inside Vault 31' reveals something important about one of the best Prime Video shows' second season? For instance, Macauley Culkin is reportedly part of Fallout season 2's cast, but Amazon hasn't confirmed if he's involved and the identity of his character.

Could this be revealed in the Vault 31 video, and, say, show Norm meeting Culkin's individual and the pair plotting to escape together? I think it'll be worth tuning into the Vault 31 teaser to find out for sure before turning we turn our attentions to the season 2 official trailer unveiling.
