Home Alone and Richie Rich star Macaulay Culkin will be a part of the cast of the upcoming season of the Fallout television show, based on the hit video game series. The news was broken by Deadline November 7th. Culkin joins a cast that includes Ella Purnell (Lucy), Walter Goggins (Ghoul), and Kyle Malachlan (Hank Maclean), and while little is known, the former child star is expected to play a "crazy genius-type character".

Executive Produced by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy (Westworld), the Fallout TV series has been a critical success for Amazon, seeing seemingly universal praise for its action and compelling story. It was nominated for 17 Emmys earlier this year for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor for Goggins, and Outstanding Writing.

Culkin has seen a return to movies in recent years, including 2019's Changeland, Entergalactic, and Amazon TV's animated sitcom The Second Best Hospital In The Galaxy.
