Moisés Arias is preparing for more fallout…

First look images of Season 2 of Fallout, starring the 31-year-old Colombian-American actor, have been released by Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films ahead of its debut in December 2025.

Based on the video game from Bethesda Game Studios, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 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.

Season 2 of Fallout will pick up in the aftermath of Season 1’s epic finale, taking viewers on a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas.

Ella Purnell stars alongside Arias, with Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, Kyle MacLachlan and Frances Turner rounding out the cast.

Fallout is produced by Kilter Films, with executive producers Nolan, Joy and Athena Wickham. Robertson-Dworet and Wagner also serve as executive producers, creators, and showrunners. Todd Howard, Bethesda Game Studios, executive produces along with James Altman for Bethesda Softworks.

Billed as a lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy, You Deserve Each Other, follows Naomi Westfield who has the perfect fiancé: Nicholas Rose who holds doors open for her, remembers her restaurant orders, and comes from the kind of upstanding society family any bride would love to be a part of. They never fight. They’re preparing for their lavish wedding that’s three months away. And she is miserably and utterly sick of him.

Naomi wants out, but there’s a catch: whoever ends the engagement will have to foot the nonrefundable wedding bill. When Naomi discovers that Nicholas, too, has been feigning contentment, the two of them go head-to-head in a battle of pranks, sabotage, and all-out emotional warfare.

But with the countdown looming to the wedding that may or may not come to pass, Naomi finds her resolve slipping. Because now that they have nothing to lose, they’re finally being themselves – and having fun with the last person they expect: each other.

Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn are directing.

Morales, who starred in The Grey’s Anatomy and No Hard Feelings, will play the role of Cassie.

First published in 2020 by Penguin imprint G.P. Putnam’s Sons, Hogle’s novel was a 2x Goodreads Choice Awards nominee, for best romance and best debut, in addition to being an Amazon Editors’ Pick for best romance.
