First look at Amazon Prime Video's flagship sci-fi sequel

Filming on the second season of Amazon Prime Video's Fallout TV series is well underway and a leaked image from the set has appeared online.

If you haven't finished season 1 yet, we thoroughly recommend you stop reading and go do so right now – there are spoilers ahead. But if you're still with us and fancy a glimpse at what to expect with season 2, then check out the below.

New leaks from Fallout season 2 from r/Fallout

Posted on the Fallout Reddit board by user FeuTarse, the photo shows a scenery prop from the forthcoming follow-up season. And it'll be instantly familiar to anyone who has played the sublime Fallout: New Vegas.

The cliff-hanger ending of season 1 gave us an indication that the second would be set in New Vegas, at least initially, and now we have proof.

"Dinky the T-Rex" first appeared in that game and, as confirmed by Eurogamer, was found on the side of the road on the way to the city itself. It's part of a desert highway motel in the Mojave Wasteland and, in the game, you meet some interesting NPCs, including a cowboy robot called Victor.

Maybe that'll be the case in the series too. It'd certainly be cool if they can get William Sadler to reprise the role he originally voiced.

Either way, as with the first season, it seems showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet are keen to keep the series as accurate to the source as possible, while also telling a new story.

It's a strategy that earned Fallout 94% from critics and 90% from the audience on Rotten Tomatoes, and ensured the show broke numerous viewing records for the streaming service on its debut last April.

We don't yet have confirmation for when second season might appear, and considering its only just entered production, we might yet have a while to wait. Still, at least that gives us plenty more time for further speculation and leaks.
