The official schedule for the next chapter of the Wasteland is here. Fallout Season 2 will premiere on December 17, 2025, on Amazon Prime Video. Unlike the first season, all eight new episodes will be released weekly, with the season finale arriving on February 4, 2026.
Fallout Season 2: Complete Episode Release Schedule
Mark your calendars, because the journey to New Vegas will unfold over two months. Each new episode will be available to stream on Prime Video at 12:00 AM Pacific Time (3:00 AM Eastern Time) every Wednesday.
Here is the full release calendar for Fallout Season 2:
- Episode 1: Wednesday, December 17, 2025
- Episode 2: Wednesday, December 24, 2025
- Episode 3: Wednesday, December 31, 2025
- Episode 4: Wednesday, January 7, 2026
- Episode 5: Wednesday, January 14, 2026
- Episode 6: Wednesday, January 21, 2026
- Episode 7: Wednesday, January 28, 2026
- Episode 8 (Season Finale): Wednesday, February 4, 2026
This weekly release plan is a major change from Season 1, where all episodes were available at once for binge-watching. The move highlights the show’s importance to Prime Video, as weekly releases often drive longer subscriber engagement and community discussion around each episode.
What To Expect in Season 2: New Vegas and New Faces
The second season picks up where the explosive first season ended, following the characters into the Mojave Wasteland toward the legendary New Vegas. Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell) and The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), now uneasy allies, are on the trail of Lucy’s father, Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan), who fled there at the end of last season. Meanwhile, Maximus (Aaron Moten) must navigate his new role as a Knight within the Brotherhood of Steel.
A major draw for fans of the video games is the introduction of New Vegas itself, a key location from Fallout: New Vegas. The show’s creators built massive sets, including transforming a section of a mall to recreate the New Vegas Strip and other familiar locations.
“We had the delicious idea that at the end of a conflict, 15 years down the line, every faction might think they won,” said executive producer Jonathan Nolan about how the show handles the game’s multiple endings.
The season will also introduce new and returning characters. Justin Theroux joins the cast as Mr. House, the powerful CEO of RobCo Industries who rules New Vegas. New faces include Macaulay Culkin playing a “crazy genius”-type character and Kumail Nanjiani as a Brotherhood of Steel pilot. The story will also feature factions familiar to gamers, such as Caesar’s Legion and the New California Republic (NCR).

Even before Season 2 premieres, Fallout has been renewed for a third season. Amazon announced the renewal in May 2025, showing strong confidence in the series, which has attracted over 100 million viewers worldwide.
As for what to expect from the story, actor Ella Purnell teased the evolving dynamic between Lucy and The Ghoul, describing it as a “buddy road trip” at times, but also a constant test of morals. Fans can also finally expect to see more iconic creatures from the games, as the creators have confirmed that terrifying Deathclaws will appear in the new season.
