I’m sure you all had a great time exploring post-nuclear Los Angeles with Lucy in season 1. Fallout Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger, setting up the series for a follow-up season.

Fallout Season 2 Official Release Window
It took the team around a year to film the first season and another year for post-production. As expected, the team has wrapped up production of season 2 within a year. Therefore, Fallout season 2 is expected to be released around late 2025 or early 2026.
Now, as predicted by the fandom, the Fallout team has officially announced that the most-awaited season 2 will premiere in December 2025 in Amazon Prime Video’s second annual upfront presentation. The exact release date will be revealed soon, so stay tuned for more updates by bookmarking this page.
Is There a Trailer For Fallout Season 2?
Prime Video has yet to unveil the main trailer for Fallout Season 2 at the time of writing. However, at Amazon Prime Video’s second annual upfront presentation recently, two new teasers were shown to celebrate the season 2 premiere announcement.

Fallout Season 2: Current Production Status
A couple of days before the Fallout Season 1 premiere, the California Film Commission (via THR) released a list of TV show projects that have been given the green light with the tax credits to start shooting work in the Golden State.
Among them, Prime Video’s Fallout Season 2 by Kilter Films was mentioned with a budget close to $154 million. This confirmed that the team will be moving from Utah (the primary shoot location for Season 1) to the West Coast for Season 2.
Fast forward to May 9, 2025, the team has announced in an X post that the production work for the second season is over.
How Many Episodes Will Fallout Season 2 Have?
Neither the showrunner nor the cast has shared updates about the episode count of Fallout season 2. The first season of Fallout was released with a total of 8 episodes. Prime Video has been sticking with the eight-episode-per-season plan for its popular TV shows, such as The Boys, Invincible, and others. So, we can expect Fallout season 2 to feature 8 episodes in line with its predecessor.
Fallout Season 2: Confirmed Cast Members

Is the Fallout TV Series Canon?
The makers have essentially stated that the Fallout TV series can be considered Fallout 5, as the story is canon and takes place after the four video game storylines. Now, talking about the story of Season 2, there has been no mention of the official plot till now.
Fallout Season 2 Predictions
The first season laid the groundwork for the upcoming seasons, and you can read our expected plot for the second season:
Based on the events in season 1, we speculate that the second season will also feature the trio of The Ghoul, Lucy, and Maximus, whose expanded storylines likely converge into one another. At the end of season 1, Lucy and the Ghoul made an unlikely team to head out to find “the makers.” Thus, they will be off on an adventure to New Vegas and explore the post-nuclear lands to find her makers, where Lucy’s dad moved to.
Moreover, Maximus seemed to climb up the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel. Thus, he might take control of the Brotherhood of Steel and continue the search for his love interest, Lucy, in the next season. Moreover, we hope to meet the big heads of this world, especially Mr. Robert House, in the new location of New Vegas, which was teased in the finale.
Will Fallout Have Multiple Seasons?
Even before season 2 premieres, Executive Producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy confirmed that Fallout has already been renewed for a season 3 at Amazon Prime Video’s second annual upfront presentation.
The holidays came a little early this year. We are thrilled to be ending the world all over again for a third season of Fallout.
“On behalf of our brilliant cast and crew, our showrunners, and our partners at Bethesda, we’re grateful to our incredible collaborators at Amazon MGM Studios and to the amazing fans as we continue our adventures in the wasteland together.“
Recently, Aaron Moten, who plays Maximus in the Fallout show, talked about the future seasons of Fallout at Comic Con Liverpool. According to Gamer, the actor revealed that Amazon had initially planned for 5-6 seasons of Fallout and remains committed to that plan upon seeing the tremendous reception for the show.
When I signed on to do the series, we would have a starting point, and they gave me the end point. That end point hasn’t changed, but it is Season 5, Season 6, type of end point. We’ve always known that we’re going to take our time with the development of the characters.”
If everything goes well, then we will be potentially getting six seasons of the Fallout TV show in the future.
That’s everything we know about season 2 of Fallout so far. Get ready to delve further into the wastelands of post-nuclear America in season 2. Stay tuned for more updates about Fallout season 2. In the meantime, let us know your predictions for the second season of Fallout in the comments below.
