Macaulay Culkin will appear in the next season of Fallout

Macaulay Culkin has taken a spare approach to acting over the last decade or two; a few episodes of American horror story Here is a short but unforgettable appearance The Righteous Gems There. Now Culkin is apparently heading into the increasingly attention-grabbing world of TV video game adaptations deadline I reported this evening that the… Home alone Star/Pizza cover artist has signed on for a role at Prime Video Stand out show.

Stand out is gearing up for the second season after the first managed surprisingly well to capture at least parts of the tone of the game series it draws on – two parts are existentially dark, one part absurdly silly, gross. As far as casting goes, the series is already doing pretty well, with Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, and Culkin all estranged Gemstones Papa Walton Goggins stars as a crew of survivors trying to find meaning in the desert. The series' guest appearances included memorable performances from Michael Emerson, Matt Berry, Michael Rappaport, Sarita Choudhury, and others, helping to round out a Wasteland roster that polite people might describe as “colorful” and honest people as “overwhelmingly frighteningly psychotic.” “would describe.”

Details about Culkin's role in the series are being kept secret, although he apparently plays “a mad genius type character,” an archetype of the Stand out The universe doesn't exactly lack that. The first season of the series (which had a storyline largely independent of any game in the series) ended with the suggestion of doing some sort of light adaptation of Critical Darling Fallout: New Vegas; It's worth noting that this particular entry features some of the maddest scientists in the entire wasteland in one of its expansions. So we're hoping to see Macaulay Culkin floating around as a floating brain in a jar.

Stand out was renewed for a second season on Prime shortly after its original broadcast; There's no word yet on when season two will arrive, with Culkin in tow.
