What to expect in Fallout season 2: Plot overview

Fallout follows haves and have-nots in a resource-scarce post-apocalyptic America, where Vault dwellers confront a violent and bizarre surface world. Season 2 picks up after Season 1's revelations about Vault-Tec's role in the war.

Lucy allies with The Ghoul to pursue her father Hank, who fled to the Mojave. Their path leads to the ruins of New Vegas- a key location ruled by Robert House. Maximus rises within the Brotherhood of Steel amid growing conflicts.

Expect deeper exploration of factions, cold fusion secrets, deathclaw encounters and flashbacks to The Ghoul's pre-war life. The season expands the wasteland lore with new threats, alliances and answers to lingering mysteries from Vault-Tec's conspiracy.
