It is uncanny how accurate the second season of Fallout reflects the current political climate in the US. That's something which has star Walton Goggins a little spooked. In an interview, Walton admits that "the symmetry is unnerving and really unsettling" to the reality of American politics today.
The second season of the Amazon Prime Video show continues the story set in the wasteland of post-nuclear America. The series is set two centuries after the Great War of 2077.

The latest season of Fallout may have plenty of parallels to the current political climate, but Walton insists it's merely a coincidence. "We're not a political show," Walton told DECIDER. Walton does acknowledge how people might see it that way, however.
According to Walton, the storylines in season two are more an example of life imitating art and vice versa. The show is based on a video game. He says that the season was bound to address current events in the US, even though that wasn't their intention.
The show may not be political in his eyes, but Walton has often spoken out about political issues. Among them were the ICE killings in Minnesota from January. He's among the many celebrities who expressed disgust in that matter.
Last November Primetime Emmy Award nominee made headlines by going nude for a GQ photoshoot. He says that was "his idea." Walton said that while filming Cooper's flashback scenes during season two, he realized how oblivious his character was. His character must face some hard truths in the season about how little he can control. In 2024, he was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Fallout.
The show has been renewed for a third season while season two is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
