The official description states it follows ‘the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters that 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.’

Amazon reported that the series drew in 65 million viewers within its first 16 days after the entire first season was released on April 10.

Culkin’s recent projects include voicing a character in The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy, multiple episodes of The Righteous Gemstones, and a memorable role in American Horror Story: Double Feature.

The casting news comes after Macaulay and fiancée Brenda Song  enjoyed a rare night out at the Academy Museum Gala last month. 

The couple, who share two sons Dakota, three, and Carson, 22-months, looked in good spirits as they posed for pH๏τos ahead of the event.

Macaulay and Brenda — who both began their acting careers at a young age — first met on the set of Changeland in June of 2017. The month after, they went on a double-date and have been together ever since.

They welcomed their first child together, Dakota, on April 5, 2021. He was named after the Richie Rich actor’s late sister who pᴀssed in 2008 of a tragic car accident.

After more than four years of dating, the love birds got engaged in January 2022. The Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior actress was seen donning a large diamond ring on her wedding finger in Beverly Hills soon after.

Some time in late 2022, they welcomed their second child, Carson. The pair has yet to reveal their son’s exact date of birth.

Neither Macaulay and Brenda have announced any wedding plans, but when he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in late 2023, he opened up about his loving bride-to-be.

‘You are absolutely everything,’ he said tearing up. ‘You’re my champion.

‘You’re the only person happier for me today than I am. You’re not only the best woman I’ve ever know, you’re the best person I’ve ever known,’ he said as Song wiped away tears from her eyes. ‘You’ve given me all my purpose. You’ve given me family. I love you. I love you so much.’

And the couple frequently share adorable pH๏τos together on social media.

In late September, they were seen looking loved-up at Goldie’s Love-In Gala at Ron Burkle’s Greenacres in Beverly Hills.

Since becoming a mother-of-two, Song has continued to stay under the spotlight. 

In 2022, she lent her voice-acting skills to Disney’s The Proud Family reboot. She recently premiered her latest film, The Last Showgirl, at the Toronto International Film Festival last month.
