Fallout Season 2 Episode 3 will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video on Wednesday, December 31, 2025. The episode will arrive in the early morning hours across the United States, with a global rollout following throughout the day. This release schedule is part of the show’s shift to a weekly format for its second season.
For fans of the post-apocalyptic saga, Episode 3 arrives with significant momentum. The previous episode ended with Lucy MacLean cornered by a military faction and the Brotherhood of Steel discovering a new base at Area 51. This next installment promises to push the story further into the Mojave Wasteland as characters converge on the ruins of New Vegas.

Fallout Season 2 Episode 3 has a confirmed release date of Wednesday, December 31, 2025. This New Year’s Eve drop continues the season’s pattern of new episodes arriving weekly on Wednesdays. The release time is synchronized globally, with the episode appearing first at midnight Pacific Time (PT).
Here is when you can watch in major regions:

Where to Watch Fallout Season 2
Fallout is available exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. To watch Episode 3 and the rest of the season, you must have an active subscription to the streaming service. The show is not available on any other platform. A Prime membership also provides access to other benefits like Amazon shopping perks.
Unlike the first season, which released all episodes at once, Season 2 is being rolled out weekly. This eight-episode season will continue with new installments every Wednesday until the finale on February 4, 2026.
What Happened in Episode 2 and What’s Next
The second episode, “The Golden Rule,” focused heavily on Maximus and his journey with the Brotherhood of Steel. Flashbacks showed his survival of the Shady Sands explosion as a child, while the present storyline saw the Brotherhood take over Area 51 as a new base. In a notable moment for fans of the games, Brotherhood soldiers discovered a frozen alien, or Zetan, in a storage unit, treating the extraterrestrial find with casual disregard.
Meanwhile, Lucy and The Ghoul were separated after Lucy tried to help a woman, leading to her being surrounded by a militant group dressed as Roman soldiers. Hank was shown continuing his dangerous mind-control experiments at an abandoned Vault-Tec facility. The episode also introduced Paladin Xander Harkness, played by Kumail Nanjiani, whose arrival could signal new conflict within the Brotherhood.
Creator Jonathan Nolan has indicated plans to keep the story moving: “In regards to Season 3, we are hoping to be shooting again next summer.”
Episode 3 is expected to address the immediate cliffhanger with Lucy and the Roman soldiers. The story will also likely follow Norm and the others from Vault 31 as they experience the wasteland, and Hank as he persists with his experiments. The broader season arc will see the characters’ paths drawing them closer to New Vegas, a key location inspired by the Fallout: New Vegas game.
