Amazon has revealed the first official look at Fallout season 2, giving us our first teases at how the series will handle a location fans have been dying to see on screen for years: New Vegas, the main setting of Obsidian’s beloved Fallout: New Vegas. But that doesn’t necessarily mean we’re getting a good look at New Vegas itself just yet.

Today Amazon dropped the first stills from the upcoming season, giving us a fun little catch-up with our major players: Lucy (Ella Purnell) and the Ghoul (Walton Goggins), Maximus (Aaron Moten), as well as Lucy’s nefarious father, Hank MacLean (Kyle McLachlan), and her Vault-dwelling brother, Norm (Moisés Arias).

Some of these aren’t too surprising—we get to see Lucy and the Ghoul butting heads in the wasteland of the Mojave, and Maximus is still deep in with the Brotherhood of Steel after being separated from Lucy at the end of the last season after their battle against the NCR. Norm is still inside the Vaults (although he’s looking out at a bunch of dwellers from Vault 31, so that’s probably not good news considering everything he learned last season). We also see Hank, presumably up to no good now that he’s cleaned up and gotten away from his daughter after the revelation that he is one of the many Vault-Tec employees frozen to retake over the remnants of civilization after the company helped kick off the nuclear war in the first place.

But perhaps the two most interesting pictures feature the Ghoul’s pre-war life as Cooper Howard alongside his wife, Barb (Frances Turner). It looks like we’re going to get more of the intrigue surrounding the, well, fallout, of Cooper learning in the past that Vault-Tec and his wife were pulling the strings behind the nuclear conflict to come, but just as interestingly, those flashbacks are going to take us back to pre-war Vegas, when it was still Las Vegas.

Fallout game fans know that after the war, Vegas itself was left largely unscathed thanks to the efforts of Robert House (played briefly in season 1 by Rafi Silver and voiced in Fallout: New Vegas by Deep Space Nine legend René Auberjonois) and RobCo Industries, who managed to shore up the city with defenses to try and keep it as unscathed as possible when the bombs started falling.

Vegas is reborn as New Vegas through House’s machinations after reviving post-war, leading to the establishment of three ruling families—the Chairmen, the Omertas, and the White Glove Society—under the control of Mr. House’s own forces from the citadel that is the Lucky 38 casino, a reflection of which we can see in that last image.

So it looks like we’re getting a big look at both pre- and post-war Vegas this season, and plenty more besides. Fallout is expected to make a showcase at tomorrow’s opening ceremony for Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, so no doubt we’ll learn (and perhaps see) more there. Fallout returns to Prime Video this December.
