Further information about Paul's Fallout character have not been released

Emmy-winning actor Aaron Paul will be joining the cast of Fallout season 3, making him an incredibly exciting addition to the hit Prime Video series.

Exclusive reports from Deadline confirmed that Aaron Paul will be added to the cast, where they noted that "Paul is no stranger to working with Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy from their time together on HBO’s Westworld."

Paul confirmed the news by sharing the Deadline story on his Instagram, where he was congratulated by new co-star Walton Goggins, who plays Cooper Howard, aka The Ghoul. He wrote: "THAT’S MY GUY!!!! I’ve got some Radaway waiting for you Cowboy!!!"

Right now, we don't know who Paul will be playing, but I'm hopeful that they've got a great character lined up for him. This isn't the first time that Fallout has been secretive about a new cast member, as we all spent a lot of time deliberating who Macaulay Culkin would play.

Culkin went on to play the formidable Lacerta Legate in Caesar's Legion, the antagonistic and totalitarian faction from Fallout: New Vegas that we all love to hate. Come on, we've all done a Legion run at least once because it's fun to be evil.

It'll be interesting to see what sort of role Paul steps into. I can't help but read into Goggins' words, the hint at Radaway could imply Paul will also be a ghoulified member of the Wastes, but that's pure speculation on my part.

Whatever role he does take on will no doubt be brilliant, and I'm eagerly awaiting more updates from Prime Video about the new season of Fallout.
