In an era where we often have to twiddle our thumbs for three years before a new season of a TV show we enjoy returns to our screens, the second season of Fallout has had a relatively short turnaround. It’s set to hit Prime Video 20 months after the first batch of episodes. As it turns out, the season two premiere is going to arrive a little earlier than you may have anticipated as well.
The first episode will now hit Prime Video at 9PM ET on December 16. That’s six hours earlier than expected. So if you’ve been looking forward to catching back up with Lucy, Maximus and The Ghoul, you won’t have to stay up as late on Tuesday night to catch the premiere as soon as it’s available.
However, you won’t be able to binge the entire season this week. While Amazon dropped all of Fallout season one at once in April 2024, this time around it will release episodes on a weekly cadence through February 4.
Fallout was also in the news late last week when Prime Video offered up an error-ridden, AI-generated recap of season one. Amazon responded to the backlash (the Fallout fallout, if you will) by nixing AI video recaps from Prime Video entirely.
