Production on Fallout Season 2 for Prime Video is officially underway, in some capacity at least, and actor Walton Goggins, who plays The Ghoul, has shared an intriguing behind-the-scenes photo of himself getting into character.
“Back in the saddle…#Deux. Gatdamn it feels good to slip on this skin. I do this shit for the love of the Game,” Goggins said with a photo attached of his extensive makeup and prosthetic for the show.
Goggins putting makeup on doesn’t necessarily mean production is actually underway on Season 2. It could be a test, of sorts, or some kind of pre-production effort. But in any event, Goggins is gearing up to play The Ghoul again, and that’s exciting considering his character was one of the best from Season 1.
For Season 1, Goggins said he would sit in the makeup chair for up to five hours to transform into the mutant bounty hunter. Over time, though, the team got it down to about two hours.
Before becoming The Ghoul, the Fallout character was a movie star named Cooper Howard who first appears in the intro to the Amazon Prime TV series. GameSpot spoke with Goggins about an emotional Ghoul moment from Episode 4 of Fallout Season 1.
There is no word yet, though, on when Fallout Season 2 could air. Prime Video hasn’t announced a date, or even a window as of yet, and if production is only just beginning, no one should expect it soon.
As for the Fallout game series, Fallout 76 just got its biggest endgame expansion yet. Beyond that, Bethesda Game Studios is working on Fallout 5, and it will come after The Elder Scrolls 6.
