Falloutis already regarded as one of the best live-action video game adaptations of all time, and for good reason. Featuring stellar acting and polished visuals, it did not take long for Prime Video to renewFalloutfor a second season.

One of the more underrated MCU stars from the past few years is joining another adaptation of an iconic franchise inFalloutSeason 2.
According to industry reporterJeff Sneider,EternalsstarKumail Nanjianiis set to join the second season ofFallout. Known for also starring inThe Big Sick,Stuber, and the award-winning HBO comedySilicon Valley, Nanjiani should prove to be another fascinating addition to the genre-bending post-apocalyptic series. It’s easy to see how he would fit in with the hilariously dark and twisted show, especially thanks to his comedic talents. Last year,Home Alonestar Macaulay Culkin was announced fora recurring role inFalloutSeason 2, making Nanjiani the second major addition to the award-winning video game TV series.
Nanjiani joins a stacked cast of actors inFalloutthat includes Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, Aaron Moten, Moisés Arias, Kyle MacLachlan, Sarita Choudhury, Michael Emerson, Leslie Uggams, Frances Turner, Dave Register, Zach Cherry, Johnny Pemberton, Rodrigo Luzzi, Annabel O’Hagan, and Xelia Mendes-Jones.

Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time,Falloutis 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.

FalloutSeason 2 began filming last year, and while it’s unclear when it will debut on Prime Video, the showrunners previously teased that “we are going as fast as we possibly can.“A late 2025 or 2026 release window is certainly possible, if not likely at this point.

War never changes. But release schedules do.
After themajor Season 1 cliffhanger,Falloutis headed into familiar territory for longtime fans of the video game property. New Vegas will be the iconic video game location that the series will be visiting and presumably take up most of the second season exploring. Although some believed the show was retconning theFallout: New Vegasgame, it seems the first season was an elaborate setup to eventually adapt one of the more popular installments in the original franchise. With Lucy (Ella Purnell) and Ghoul (Walton Goggins) teaming up once again to find her father and his family,FalloutSeason 2 is entering a point of no return that will likely make the first season look like a piece of cake.
