Fallout showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet hint at the Mojave’s status in season 2 following season 1’s New Vegas credits tease.
Fallout showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet hint at the state of the Mojave Wasteland in season 2 following the New Vegas surprising credits tease. Fallout introduces Ella Purnell’s Lucy Maclean, a Vault 33 resident who leaves the safety of her underground bunker to track down her father, Hank (Kyle MacLachlan) after he is kidnapped by raiders. Following shocking revelations and world-shattering truths, season 1 ended with Hank venturing across the wastes alone in stolen power armor towards what remains of Las Vegas, now named New Vegas.
As audiences remain eager to see the fate of New Vegas following Fallout season 1’s ending, Wagner and Robertson-Dworet teased what’s to come to GQ. Wagner hints at how much change has occurred since the 2010 video game, and what small bastions of civilization have grown following the apocalypse beyond the typical struggles and fights for survival between individuals and factions seen in season 1. Check out the showrunner’s exchange below:
Wagner: All we really want the audience to know is that things have happened, so that there isn’t an expectation that we pick the show up in season two, following one of the myriad canon endings that depend on your choices when you play [ Fallout: New Vegas ].
With that post-credits stuff, we really wanted to imply, Guys, the world has progressed, and the idea that the wasteland stays as it is decade-to-decade is preposterous to us. It’s just a place [of] constant tragedy, events, horrors — there’s a constant churn of trauma. We’re definitely implying more has occurred. Geneva, have I f*cked anything up with that?
Robertson-Dworet: No, I thought that was a great dance.
Which New Vegas Ending Will The Fallout TV Series Follow?
New Vegas Opens Up Multiple Possibilities
With Fallout seemingly set to address what canonically happened in Fallout: New Vegas following the 2010 game, Wagner and Robertson-Dworet have a difficult task in choosing which ending to follow. In the base game, players are left to choose between allowing Mr. House to continue to rule, taking power for themselves with the aid of rogue Securitron Yes Man, or handing over control to the NCR, or Caesar’s Legion. The endings can be further impacted by how they approached the sidequests, while DLCs brought their own twists to the Mojave both small and drastic.
However, with Fallout season 1’s revelations and the showrunner’s comments, it may be possible to narrow down what state New Vegas has found itself in come season 2. With the NCR broken and scattered across the wasteland, it is unlikely that they managed to maintain a foothold in the Mojave, while Wagner and Robertson-Dworet’s desire to show how civilization may grow hints that the area is still relatively stable, ruling out the DLC’s more cataclysmic choices. With Hank searching for allies and House involvement in Vault Tec’s pre-war dealings, perhaps the businessman is still ruling from the Lucky 38’s penthouse.
Fallout‘s New Vegas tease left viewers eager for more, given the game’s popularity and unique story elements, from factions to perspective on the state of the post-war world. As such, Fallout season 2’s trip to the Strip is set to show newcomers an all-new side to the Wasteland when compared to how the world has recovered in California. With Wagner and Robertson-Dworet hinting at a functioning civilization lurking in the heart of the Mojave, perhaps the TV show will establish how the Courier chose to leave New Vegas, potentially for the better.
