'Breaking Bad' actor Aaron Paul to star in series 'Fallout' Season 3
Washington DC, May 11
The Prime Video series 'Fallout' is set to add the 'Breaking Bad' star Aaron Paul in the third season of the show, reported Deadline. Annabel O'Hagan and Dave Register have also been upped to series regulars for the upcoming season alongside Frances Turner, who was upped to series regular in Season 2.
'Fallout' is produced by Kilter Films, with executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators and showrunners for the series, which has surpassed 100 million viewers across its first two seasons, reported Deadline.
Paul is no stranger to working with Nolan and Lisa Joy from their time together on HBO's Westworld.
Following his multi-Emmy-winning role as Jessie Pinkman on 'Breaking Bad', Paul went on to land a key role in the final season of Westworld, ultimately leading to Nolan and Joy wanting to reunite with Paul.
According to the outlet, both seasons of Fallout rank among the top four most-watched seasons of all time on Prime Video. Based on the iconic video game series, it tells 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 violent universe waiting for them.
The series stars Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, Kyle MacLachlan, Moises Arias and Turner.
Todd Howard of Bethesda Game Studios also executive produces along with James Altman for Bethesda Softworks and Margot Lulick.
Amazon, MGM Studios and Kilter Films will produce the series in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks. (ANI).

Great news for fans! But honestly, I hope Season 3 doesn't get too complicated like Westworld did in its later seasons. The first two seasons of Fallout were brilliant - that perfect mix of dark humor and survival drama. Hope they keep that balance.
Aaron Paul is a great addition, but 100 million viewers across two seasons? That's seriously impressive. The show has really captured the essence of the games - that weird, violent, and gleefully absurd universe. Nolan and Joy know how to adapt video games, no doubt!
I haven't played the games but the series is so good! The vault dwellers coming out to that irradiated world - such a powerful concept. Ella Purnell is phenomenal as Lucy. With Aaron Paul joining, Season 3 is going to be even more stacked. Loving Prime Video's original content lately!
Breaking Bad + Fallout = dream crossover! Aaron Paul has that raw intensity. But I'm a bit concerned - adding too many big names can sometimes dilute the story. Still, Nolan and Joy have earned trust. Hope they give us more of that weird wasteland humor! 🎮☢️
Aaron Paul doing sci-fi again after Westworld? Yes please! His character in Westworld was underutilized. Hope he gets more screentime in Fallout. The show has been a rare example of a video game adaptation done right. Season 3 can't come soon enough.
