This is not the first time that Paul will be working with Fallout executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. They previously collaborated in Westworld, where Paul also joined the cast in its third season.

For now, stay tuned for more news and updates regarding Paul's role in the hit series in the coming months.
What to Expect in Fallout Season 3
So far, the plot details regarding the third season of Fallout are still under wraps, but it is slated to begin production this summer.
The series is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind, and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.
The first two seasons have surpassed 100 million viewers worldwide. Both seasons rank in the top four most-watched seasons of all time on Prime Video during the same time period.
