\n\tAs \u201cFallout\u201d Season 2 transitions the show to the Mojave Wasteland and New Vegas, the creative team also moved filming from New York to Los Angeles during a period of record-low production in the state of California.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe were a little insulated from what had changed here. So it was a shock to us when we came back here for \u2018Fallout\u2019 and realized,\u201d executive producer Jonathan Nolan told Variety<\/em>\u2018s senior artisans editor Jazz Tangcay at the \u201cFallout\u201d FYC event. \u201cIt\u2019s a no-brainer to shoot here in Los Angeles and it\u2019s just an honor for us to be able to bring the production back home. And I think the results speak for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBased on the video game franchise of the same name, this latest \u201cFallout\u201d season follows the characters along their journey through the wasteland of a post-apocalyptic world. The panel was filled with many of the show\u2019s top stars, including Walton Goggins, Aaron Moten, Kyle MacLachlan, Justin Theroux, Francis Turner and Mois\u00e9s Arias.<\/p>\n

\n\tFour months after the Season 2 finale aired on Prime Video, Tangcay asked the cast to reflect on their characters\u2019 evolution and what drew them to this continuation.<\/p>\n

\n\tMoten, who plays Maximus, explained how attached he got to showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet\u2019s scripts and the show\u2019s connection to the real world: \u201cI think we all see a chaos that seems almost beyond repair sometimes. And as much as we all would like fewer parallels between this show of \u2018Fallout\u2019 and the world that we live in, I couldn\u2019t help but want to just experience what I think we all have a shared experience of, \u2018Where do I even begin if I want to change the world?’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMacLachlan, who plays Hank, recalled a conversation he had with Robertson-Dworet about characters having both an A-side and a B-side. That shaped how he approached his character, who is on one hand a loving father but also an extremist. And in the Season 2 finale, Hank chooses to his wipe his memory clean.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe ending to me, I don\u2019t really know where this is going to lead, but in my mind I said, \u2018This is the evolution. This next step has to happen in order for what\u2019s to come.\u2019 I saw it as sort of a sacrifice but also inevitable. The hope is that it opens another door and we get to walk through into another interesting journey,\u201d MacLachlan said, with a third season officially on the way. \u201cHe loves his daughter so much \u2026 I don\u2019t know if that has any validity or not, we\u2019ll found out, I guess!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGoggins also spoke about that ending and how it symbolized hope for his character. He recalled filming that scene where the Ghoul locates his family\u2019s cryo-chambers, only to find Barb and his daughter Janey gone. Goggins recalled filming the scene and said, \u201cFrederick E.O. Toye directed that episode and he set the cameras up in a way. He said, \u2018What are you going to do?\u2019 And I said, \u201c\u2018I really don\u2019t know. I\u2019m going to come through that door and I know that this is the cryo-chamber that I have to look in.\u2019 But he put two cameras. We only did it three or four times and we did one extra shot.\u201d Goggins continued, \u201cEven though we knew that they weren\u2019t in the chamber, every take felt like they were and it felt like a supreme letdown at first and then he finds this card. And so it was really cathartic and I can\u2019t wait to see what happens in Season 3.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTangcay then asked the cast to dive into the show\u2019s intricate world-building, from Vincent Van Dyke\u2019s prosthetic makeup (Emmy-nominated for crafts in Season 1) to Dayna Pink\u2019s vibrant costumes.<\/p>\n

\n\tTurner spoke about how her costumes tell a story about what is happening with Barb this season. \u201cThat purple vault tech suit, that is like armor, the angles, the structure of it. But Barb lives at the intersection of many things, her strength, her intelligence, all of those things, but her softness, her tenderness, and even in that suit with all of its substantial material and structure, there\u2019s the hint of softness and the blouse underneath.\u201d Turner went on to say that as Frances seemingly moves away from Vault-Tec, her silhouettes get less structured. She said, \u201cThey have more movement and the color palette gets lighter. When she\u2019s with her family, there\u2019s a lightness and a movement to her costumes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRobertson-Dworet talked about Cummings saying, \u201cWhen [Jonathan] and I talk about what we want to do in the show and what ambitious new things we want to create, we can do so fearlessly because [production designer] Howard Cummings is a genius,\u201d Robertson-Dworet added, \u201cMany of the sets and locations you see in this final location, some of them are six different locations seamlessly brought together to seem like one.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGoggins concluded by giving kudos to the writers and directors for building out the world: \u201cWe balance a lot of different tones in this. I still can\u2019t believe Amazon\u2019s letting us make this show at this scale that\u2019s batshit crazy!\u201d<\/p>\n
