Fallout fans, your wait to return to the wasteland just got a little shorter.
Prime Video announced Monday that Fallout‘s highly anticipated second season will be premiering a day early. Originally slated for a Dec. 17 release, Fallout‘s Season 2 premiere will now hit Prime Video on Dec. 16 at 9 p.m. ET.
While Fallout‘s first season dropped all at once for binge viewing, Prime Video is opting for a weekly release for this season. That means only one episode will be available for streaming on Dec. 16. New episodes will air weekly until the season finale on Feb. 4, 2026.
