The cast of Prime Video's highly anticipated second season of Fallout have marked the first stop on their global tour with a red-carpet arrival and advance screening in Sydney.

Stars Walton Goggins, Ella Purnell and Aaron Moten were happy to pause for photos and chat with fans as they walked the carpet before a special screening of the first two episodes ahead of the December launch of Fallout's second season.

Goggins, known for playing Rick in The White Lotus Season 3, joked he could only watch "a specific kind of movie" after crying while watching the cult classic Kramer vs Kramer.

Purnell, who rose to fame on the television horror series Yellowjackets, was asked what she would like to ask fans if the roles were reversed.

"When they ask me about political messaging and if somebody could take a message from Fallout and apply it to the real world, I'm like 'I don't know'," she told a reporter on the red carpet.

"I would ask the fans that question because I bet they've got the best, smartest, most creative answers."

The post-apocalyptic series is based on the global video game phenomenon and also stars Father Stu actor Moten, Twin Peaks' Kyle MacLachlan, The Boys' Frances Turner and Moises Arias of The King of Staten Island fame.

It has become a global success since it premiered in April 2024.

The first season amassed more than 100 million viewers worldwide, ranking among Prime Video's top three most-watched titles.

"Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there's almost nothing left to have," Prime said in a statement.

"Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind - and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them."

The new season will premiere on December 17, with one new episode rolling out each week for eight weeks until the season finale on February 4, 2026.
