Fallout fans can rejoice because the anticipatory wait for Fallout Season 2 has officially been cut down a little shorter. In an official announcement from Amazon MGM Studios, it was revealed that Season 2 of the video game adaptation will make its debut a day earlier than previously announced.

Fans have been anticipating Fallout Season 2, widely hailed as one of the best video game adaptations to screen, for the longest time. Season 2 is set to pick up right after the events of the first season and its aftermath in the wasteland.

Keep reading to find out exactly when the post-apocalyptic adaptation is returning to Prime Video after its rollout date and time are moved up.


Fallout Season 2 will be returning to Prime Video a day earlier than expected

Fallout Season 2, set to take us back to the wasteland, as Lucy Maximus and The Ghoul journey across and make their way to Las Vegas, or what it is in the post-apocalyptic day 'New Vegas.' The second season is set to pick up right after the epic conclusion of Season 1. The official logline for the second season reads:

"The new season will pick up in the aftermath of Season One’s epic finale and take audiences along for a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas."

It was previously announced that Fallout Season 2 would premiere on December 17, 2025, and the premiere would be followed by a weekly rollout of the eight-episode season, setting the finale up for February 4, 2026. Amazon MGM Studios has just revealed that there will be a bit of a shift to this schedule, and the new season will instead premiere a day earlier.

Prime Video has moved up the Season 2 release date to Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. instead of Wednesday. The official announcement read:

"With fan demand for the launch of Fallout Season Two from Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films echoing loudly across the Wasteland, Prime Video today announced that the premiere episode will debut one day earlier on Tuesday, December 16, at 6:00 p.m. PT."

The announcement was accompanied by a special display on the Exosphere of Sphere in Las Vegas. The exhibition found the sphere transformed into a post-apocalyptic snow globe, featuring Lucy Maxumis, The Ghoul, and Maximus. The real surprise was a monstrous Deathclaw that tried to pry its way out of the snowglobe, cracking it terribly.

The rest of the release schedule for Fallout Season 2, it appears, will remain the same, and the eight-episode season will premiere weekly until the season finale of February 4, 2026.

The official synopsis for Fallout reads:

"Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two-hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters 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."

The Fallout Season 2 release week just got an exciting upgrade with this announcement!
