The apocalypse has officially begun as fans venture into the wasteland in Episode 2 of Amazon Prime Video's Fallout series.
Brought to life by a cast of A-list talent like Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins, the post-nuclear streaming drama—based on Bethesda's beloved franchise of video games—follows the survivors of a world where a great nuclear war wiped America from the map nearly 200 years ago.
After Episode 1 introduced audiences to the colorful ensemble at Fallout's heart, the series' second chapter ("The Target") started intertwining these seemingly disparate stories, with main characters crossing each other's paths for the first time.
Every Main Character & Actor in Fallout Episode 2
Ella Purnell - Lucy
Ella Purnell's Lucy serves as Fallout's primary protagonist (and conduit for the audience). Lucy is a 'glass half-full' vault dweller who, after being raised in the protection of an underground vault community, is experiencing the ruthlessness of the Californian wasteland for the first time.
After being thrust from Vault 33, Lucy continues her search for her father. In Episode 2, she arrives at a makeshift settlement, where her eyes are opened to the 'shoot or be shot' nature of her new irradiated surroundings.
Purnell's previous credits include Kick-Ass 2, Yellowjackets, and Netflix's Arcane series.

Walton Goggins - The Ghoul
Bringing to life Fallout's gun-slinging Ghoul is Walton Goggins. Goggins' necrotic post-human has been the victim of severe radiation poisoning, causing his skin to rot and give off a disturbing burnt-looking appearance.
The Ghoul is on a mission in the first two episodes of the series, looking for a scientist (who also happens to be the subject of a wasteland-wide Brotherhood of Steel search). After finding his bounty target in the settlement of Filly, the Ghoul is guns-blazing as he attempts to take in the mysterious Dr. Siggi Wilzig.
Goggins is best known for his work in hits like Justified, The Hateful Eight, and Predators.
