Fallout Season 2: The Commonwealth Brotherhood, broke down

What’s Happening

Real talk: Fallout season 2 has introduced The Brotherhood of Steel in the Commonwealth from the popular video games.

Here’s what the fandom need to know. Television Science Fiction Shows Fallout Season 2: The Commonwealth Brotherhood, broke down By Pauli Poisuo Dec. (we’re not making this up)

24, 2025 10:30 pm EST Prime Video This article contains spoilers for “Fallout” season 2, episode 2.

The Details

“Fallout” season 2 finally gives us an update on Maximus (Aaron Moten), who’s become something of a Brotherhood of Steel hero after proving himself in the ending of “Fallout” season 1 . Operating directly under Elder Cleric Quintus (Michael Cristofer), the young knight seems instrumental to his chapter’s plans …

That is, until other faction leaders come to conspire with Quintus and Maximus discovers the hard way where his true place in the chain of command is. The reason behind the Brotherhood leaders’ meeting is Quintus’ attempt to lead a revolt against the mysterious but clearly powerful Commonwealth Brotherhood, as represented by late-episode arrival Paladin Harkness (Kumail Nanjiani).

Why This Matters

The fandom of the “Fallout” video game series might have a decent idea why this particular faction elicits such fearful reactions in the other commanders, too. The Commonwealth Brotherhood is a battle-tested evolution of the “Fallout 3” Capital Wasteland Brotherhood, and a major presence in “Fallout 4. ” The Commonwealth is basically the post-apocalyptic Boston and what’s left of the state of Massachusetts, and it’s a restless place where various factions and creatures run rampant.

Entertainment industry insiders have been buzzing about this.

The Bottom Line

In the nine years that have passed between the events of “Fallout 4” and the Prime Video show, it appears that the Commonwealth Brotherhood has only increased its influence and power. Granted, it’s a bit of a surprise to see this East Coast faction play a role in the stellar video game adaptation’s season 2 trip to New Vegas , but I’m definitely not complaining.
