Fallout Season 2: December Release Date, New Vegas Setting Revealed

The wasteland is calling us back. Prime Video has unveiled the trailer for Fallout Season 2, and it looks absolutely stunning.

Premiering December 17, 2025, the eight episode second season picks up where that jaw dropping finale left off, taking us from the irradiated wilds into the neon glow of post apocalyptic New Vegas. The Mojave Desert has never looked so beautifully dangerous.

Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, and Walton Goggins return alongside Kyle MacLachlan, with Kumail Nanjiani and Macaulay Culkin joining the cast. Episodes roll out weekly until the February 4, 2026 finale.

Let’s be honest: Season 1 was a great example of how to turn a video game into a series! Where so many have stumbled and fallen flat on their faces, Kilter Films and showrunners Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner delivered something that honoured the source material well. Over 100 million viewers worldwide agreed. This is genuinely one of the most anticipated releases of December for us, and we suspect we’re not alone in that feeling.

The history of video game adaptations is littered with disappointments, projects that missed the point entirely or tried too hard to please everyone and satisfied nobody. Fallout broke that curse. It understood what made the games special, the dark humour, the retro futuristic aesthetic, the moral ambiguity lurking beneath the surface.

The trailer promises mutated creatures, wasteland mysteries. And yes, we CAN’T WAIT for the Deathclaw! If you’ve played the games, you know exactly why that matters. These terrifying creatures have haunted our nightmares since the original games, and seeing one realised with this production quality has us properly excited. If you haven’t encountered one before, you’re about to understand why seasoned vault dwellers approach certain areas with extreme caution.

With a third season already confirmed, Fallout has established itself as one of the most exciting genre shows around.

Season 1 remains available on Prime Video. Catch up now, because December 17 cannot come soon enough.
