Amazon’s hit post-apocalyptic drama Fallout is returning with Season 2, which will stream weekly on Prime Video starting mid-December 2025, instead of the binge-drop strategy used for Season 1. Set to delve deeper into New Vegas and the lore of the games, the new season continues Lucy’s journey through the wasteland alongside the enigmatic Ghoul.
Here’s everything you need to know about Fallout Season 2’s release schedule, plot, and where to watch.
Release Schedule of Fallout Season 2 Episodes:
Season 2 of Fallout will consist of eight episodes, with new episodes dropping weekly on Prime Video in December 2025 and January 2026. Unlike Season 1, which released all eight episodes on the same day in April 2024, this outing embraces an appointment-viewing model to keep fans theorizing between episodes.
Prime Video has set a mid-December launch, with episodes typically going live at 3 a.m. ET / 12 a.m. PT, which translates to early-morning drops in India and other time zones.

Plot Overview
Fallout is set in a retro-futuristic America, 200 years after a nuclear war transformed the world into a brutal wasteland where vault dwellers, raiders, mutants, and corporations all claw for power. Season 1 followed idealistic vault-dweller Lucy MacLean, Brotherhood of Steel squire Maximus, and a gunslinging Ghoul as their intersecting quests exposed a conspiracy reaching from the surface back into the vaults.
Season 2 pushes the story into New Vegas, drawing heavily from the beloved Fallout: New Vegas game, with Mr. House confirmed to appear and iconic locations like the Lucky 38 casino and Dinky the T-Rex teased in early looks. Expect the new season to explore a brewing civil war in the wasteland, escalate the conflict between factions like the Brotherhood and the Enclave, and deepen the personal stakes for Lucy, the Ghoul, and Maximus as their loyalties are tested.
Where to Watch Fallout Season 2?
Fallout Season 2 will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, continuing the platform’s slate of big-budget genre shows. New episodes will arrive weekly, with the premiere kicking off on the evening of December 16, 2025, in the U.S., then rolling out simultaneously in other territories according to local time zones.
Viewers can catch up on all eight episodes of Season 1, which remain available to stream in full on Prime Video and provide essential context for the characters and factions returning in Season 2.
What to Expect From Upcoming Episodes?
As Season 2 unfolds, fans can look forward to a darker, more politically charged story that leans into New Vegas’ casino-driven power struggles and morally grey choices. The show will expand on game lore while maintaining the series’ signature blend of bleak violence, offbeat humor, and retro-futuristic aesthetic that made Season 1 a critical and fan favorite.
With the series already renewed for Season 3, the upcoming episodes are expected to end on a bold, cliffhanger-heavy note, setting up an even larger conflict in the wasteland and further exploring the mysteries behind the vaults and the pre-war elites who built them.
