Fallout Season 2 Launches Early on Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video launched the second season of its acclaimed Fallout series on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, a day earlier than originally scheduled, bringing viewers back to the post-apocalyptic wasteland earlier than expected. The premiere episode became available at 6 p.m. Pacific Time, or 9 p.m. Eastern Time, exclusively on the streaming platform, marking the start of an eight-episode run that continues weekly on Wednesdays through the season finale on February 4, 2026.

The series, set in the universe of the long-running Fallout video game franchise, picks up immediately after the first season's cliffhanger ending. In that finale, Lucy MacLean, played by Ella Purnell, discovered her father Hank's deep ties to Vault-Tec, the corporation behind the nuclear apocalypse that reshaped the world centuries earlier. Hank, portrayed by Kyle MacLachlan, escaped in power armor, heading toward the fabled city of New Vegas. Lucy now joins forces with the Ghoul, a radiation-scarred survivor and former Hollywood actor played by Walton Goggins, on a perilous road trip across the Mojave Desert to confront him and uncover more about the conspiracy that doomed humanity.
