Fallout Season 2 Adds Macaulay Culkin In A Lovely Role Just For Him

The wasteland is going to add some new star power for Fallout Season 2. Macaulay Culkin, best known for the Christmas classic Home Alone, will show up as a recurring character when the Prime Video TV series returns–though there’s no release window yet.

Deadline reported that Culkin will “be playing a crazy genius-type character.” On Instagram, Culkin confirmed the news, adding: “It’s happening.” He will join a returning Fallout cast for the sophomore season that includes Ella Purnell (Lucy), Aaron Moten (Maximus), and the Ghoul (Walter Goggins).

Culkin, who changed his full name to Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin years ago, is best known for his childhood acting, appearing in movies like Home Alone, Uncle Buck, My Girl, and Richie Rich. Over the past few years, the actor has shown up in some notable TV series, such as The Righteous Gemstones and American Horror Story: Double Feature.

Prime Video’s Fallout has been one of the biggest hit TV shows of the year and became an Emmy-winning series in September. The creators have big plans for Lucy going forward, with Amazon saying Fallout is ahead of schedule for Season 2.
