‘Fallout’ Season 2 Trailer: Justin Theroux Plays Robert House, Deathclaw Attacks the Ghoul and Lucy in New Vegas

The first trailer for “Fallout” Season 2 has been released, and it’s showing a first look at new cast member Justin Theroux playing the video game character Robert House in the fan-favorite location of New Vegas. Plus, there’s a deadly Deathclaw stalking the irradiated city that comes face to face with Walton Goggins’ Ghoul and Ella Purnell’s Lucy.

After briefly appearing in a flashback in Season 1, Robert House returns in a much larger way in Season 2, but this time he’s played by Theroux. In the popular video game “Fallout: New Vegas,” House is the ruler of the city, which was nearly destroyed by the nuclear war. In Season 1, it’s revealed that House met with other corporate leaders to intentionally drop a nuclear bomb on themselves to ensure that Vault-Tec’s profits would thrive and endure. In the game, House uses this insider information to fortify New Vegas and preserve his body in a coma to rule once he awakens more than 100 years later.

Season 2 of “Fallout” will premiere on Prime Video on Dec. 17 and release a new episode weekly until the finale on Feb. 4. “The new season will pick up in the aftermath of Season One’s epic finale and take audiences along for a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas,” the logline teases.

The cast includes Purnell, Aaron Moten, Goggins, Kyle MacLachlan, Moisés Arias and Frances Turner. After the Season 1 finale, Lucy is searching for her father (MacLachlan), who betrayed her, and the Ghoul is on the hunt for his family, who may have survived the nuclear war. Their search brings them to New Vegas, and flashbacks with Goggins’ Cooper Howard (his pre-Ghoul identity) and House tease the truth behind who dropped the nuclear bombs.

“Fallout” is produced by Kilter Films, with executive producers Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy and Athena Wickham. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators, and showrunners. Todd Howard, Bethesda Game Studios, executive produces along with James Altman for Bethesda Softworks.
