Aaron Paul is heading to the wasteland.
The Emmy-winning Breaking Bad alum has been cast in Season 3 of Prime Video's hit post-apocalyptic series Fallout.
A 'Westworld' Reunion
Paul previously worked with Fallout executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy on HBO's Westworld, where he had a key role following his celebrated run as Jesse Pinkman on AMC's Breaking Bad. That earlier collaboration is what led Nolan and Joy to bring him back for Fallout. Specifics about Paul's character in Season 3 have not been disclosed.
