Breaking Bad favourite joins Fallout season 3 in major new casting for Prime Video hit
A match made in wasteland heaven?
An absolute Breaking Bad favourite has joined the Fallout season 3 cast in a major new casting coup for the Prime Video hit.
Breaking Bad and Fallout seem like perfect bedfellows when you think about it. The desert landscapes, the loose morals, the dodgy dealings. Which show are we talking about again?
As Amazon's Fallout show has moved through its first few seasons, it's been no stranger to big name guest stars.
Home Alone legend Macaulay Culkin and former Hellboy Ron Perlman made memorable appearances in Fallout season 2, and we're sure that Fallout season 3 will play host to plenty of familiar faces too.

We can now confirm that one of the new faces in Fallout season 3 will be none other than Aaron Paul. How's that for a good get?
He is, of course, beloved by pretty much everyone for his sensational performance as Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and El Camino.
Other memorable turns in Paul's back catalogue include Cliff Stanfield in Black Mirror's Beyond The Sea, and Todd Chavez in BoJack Horseman.
Aaron Paul is also well loved among gamers, with his leading role in the choice-based superhero game Dispatch earning him plenty of glowing reviews last year, and a nomination at the BAFTA Games Awards 2026.
The news of Aaron Paul's casting in Fallout season 3 was broken by the trade publication Deadline, but there are no details regarding which role he'll be playing and how it will factor into the wider story.
Paul has a pre-existing relationship with Fallout producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, who he worked with on the HBO series Westworld a few years back.
The Deadline story also notes that returning cast members Annabel O’Hagan (who plays Steph) and Dave Register (who plays Chet) are both being promoted to 'series regular' status, so expect a lot more from their creepy storyline.
As we hear more about Paul's role, and when Fallout season 3 could release, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, why not try to play all the Fallout games in order?
