Fallout season 2 ‘blows first out of the water', says star with filming underway
The adaptation of the long-running post-apocalyptic game, starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten and Kyle MacLachlan, was released on Prime Video in 2024 and quickly won praise from fans for its blending of sci-fi, comedy and gore.
The acclaimed series is set in the year 2296, which is a full 15 years after the events of the video game Fallout: New Vegas. This means that a lot has changed in that time – and the show certainly doesn't pull its punches with the revelations.
In the show, Goggins plays the gunslinging bounty hunter The Ghoul, a former Hollywood actor who has been mutated by the radiation caused by the nuclear war.
Speaking to Deadline at the premiere of The White Lotus season three, the 53-year-old actor revealed: 'We're in the middle of filming it right now, we've been at it since November, and I can tell you that I thought season one was extraordinary, personally. I was very pleased with it.'
Goggins added: 'This blows it out of the water, what these writers have done and the artisans that have come together to tell this story. It's really gonna be something. I can't wait for people to see it. We're working really hard to make that happen.'
Fallout was developed for television by Westworld showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy.
Speaking to Vanity Fair in 2023, Nolan said that although the series is set in a dystopian future ravaged by nuclear war, its story will speak to contemporary political issues.
'The games are about the culture of division and haves and have-nots that, unfortunately, have only gotten more and more acute in this country and around the world over the last decades,' said Nolan.
'We get to talk about that in a wonderful, speculative-fiction way,' he continued. 'I think we're all looking at the world and going, 'God, things seem to be heading in a very, very frightening direction.''
As well as adapting Westworld for television, Nolan has also co-written films including The Prestige, The Dark Knight and Interstellar in collaboration with his brother Christopher Nolan.
It was announced in 2024 that Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin will be joining the cast of Fallout season two.

Princess Andre uses top UK brand to get her ‘natural and fluffy' lashes
Princess Andre just walked fans through her beauty routine as she got glammed up to celebrate her 18th birthday - and she revealed her 'natural and fluffy lashes' are from this top brand Always one to watch for affordable and glamorous beauty tips, Princess Andre is back at it again as she just shared another must-buy product. Showing off her enviable lashes, Princess revealed to fans what brand she used to get her "natural and fluffy" look. Acting as the crown jewel of her eye makeup ahead of her 18th birthday celebration, Princess showed fans that she'd been using lengthening eyelash clusters from Eylure, a brand touted as the UK's No.1 when it comes to fake lashes. And in case you're wondering how to copy Princess' look, these lashes are not just affordable - they're also on Amazon. Normally retailing for £8 for a pack of 36 clusters, in measurements 8mm, 10mm and 12mm, this multipack is now available on Amazon for the reduced price of £6.60 thanks to this early Prime Day deal. If you prefer to shop elsewhere, you can pick up the same pack from Claire's for £7.50, Boots for £7 or for £8 from Lookfantastic. Promising to deliver a fluffed-up look, these cluster false lashes are reusable up to five times and come with an eighteen-hour hold glue, for even the most dramatic to simple looks that last all day or night. Unlike full false lashes, these fluffy cluster lashes offer the chance to completely customise your lash look. They're versatile in the styles they can create and are perfect for above or under-lash applications. Letting you design a style that's uniquely yours, Princess' loved lashes are perfect for a half lash or adding length to the outer corner, depending on the look you're going for. Touted as super easy to apply and comfortable to wear for long stretches, these lashes are sure to transform your eye makeup with ease. Whether you're heading off to celebrate a grand occasion, going into the office or just running errands, these lash clusters can seamlessly complete any full-face and stick with you all day. Handmade and reusable, every lash pack contains up to five applications and comes with latex-free lash glue, which is guaranteed to last up to eighteen hours and be gentle on your own lashes when it comes to removal. And it's not just Princess who's loving these cult-favourite lashes, as plenty of 5-star reviews pour in. One buyer beams: "I've tried a lot of false lashes over the years, but Eylure has truly earned a permanent spot in my beauty routine. Whether you're going for a natural daytime look or full-on glam, Eylure offers a wide range of styles that cater to every occasion. What I Love: Easy Application: The lashes come with a high-quality adhesive that makes application quick and mess-free—even for beginners; Comfortable Wear: They're lightweight and flexible, so they sit comfortably on the lash line without poking or lifting; Reusable: With proper care, I've been able to reuse a pair up to 5 times, which makes them super cost-effective; Natural Look: Even the more dramatic styles manage to look elegant rather than over-the-top." Further praise comes from this customer who gushes: "Absolute bargain. These are really good quality, great style and easy to apply. The glue is good and sticks quick and doesnt dry up in the tube the second you use it. The lash style is more subtle than some but gives a really flirty / sexy eye look that i find looks good on most." And a third chimes in: "I used the glue that came with the lashes and it lasts all day without irritating my eyes or making them go bloodshot (certain products do that and it's really annoying). They look realistic and subtle, and I've been able to reuse them a few times without them starting to look tacky or fall apart. They're soft, flexible, and not uncomfortable. The only thing I'd change is the packaging because it looks really cheap, but otherwise I really like them."
