If you are a keen follower of TV shows, last week in the U.S. was not so special! The TV shows that were scheduled to be released during the week of December 15-21, 2025, were, to a large extent, limited.
If you have been keeping tabs on your streaming watchlists, then you might have experienced a rather slow TV show schedule. But, fret not, we are going to discuss everything and provide a little insight into the global releases.
While the week did not offer much in terms of new content, it was still a good time for fans to watch the much-delayed releases. One of the major attractions of the week was Fallout Season 2, which came back on Prime Video with new episodes released weekly.
Come with us on a tour through the week, and we will show you what was streamed.
Tuesday, December 16
Tuesday saw no officially confirmed TV show releases in the U.S. Hence, it was more about catching up on other series for the viewers rather than a day of new U.S. premieres.
It gives the audience an opportunity to catch up with the various released content or continue catching up with ongoing series that have been broadcast.

Fallout – Season 2 (Prime Video)
Genre: Sci-Fi / Drama
Platform: Prime Video
U.S. Release Date: December 17, 2025
Wednesday was the most crucial day for viewers when it came to TV shows. Fallout Season 2 heralded its return with weekly episodes, resuming the story of this post-apocalyptic drama from the exact spot it was left. The series presents a scenario of confusion, war, and man's attempt to live as its main issues and slowly reveals the moral conflicts, partnerships, and treacheries among its characters.
The production is recognized for its engrossing world-building and its soft and hard storytelling. Its unorthodox way of telling the story allows the audience to gently go through an episode and build excitement for the next, which keeps fan debates going all week.
For the U.S viewers, Fallout was the main new TV show, and it provided them with the suspense and action that were the reasons for the first season's success.
Thursday, December 18
The fifth season of Emily in Paris premiered on December 18.
Emily in Paris – Season 5 (Netflix)

This season takes over from the previous one and keeps up the same pace for the rom-com TV show. It exhibits a perfect variety of love, going through the various challenges that come along with the job, and trying to perfectly fit in with the European culture.
