Mere days before the show started its new season last week, Prime Video announced a surprise early release for the first episode - at least in America. However, from this week on, it will return to the pre-planned schedule.

Prime Video traditionally releases new episodes of its biggest shows - like Fallout - at 12am PT/ 3am ET in America. Due to differences in time zones, this works out at 8am British time.

Expect Fallout season 2 episode 3 to come out at this time tomorrow (December 31).

When does Fallout season 2 release?

Unlike the first season, the show is set to be released weekly. It will also drop just one episode per week, coming out on Wednesdays - aside from this first episode.

The full schedule is

  • Episode 1 - December 16/ 17 (UK)
  • Episode 2 - December 24
  • Episode 3 - December 31
  • Episode 4 - January 7
  • Episode 5 - January 14
  • Episode 6 - January 21
  • Episode 7 - January 28
  • Episode 8 - February 4

The season finale is scheduled to be released on February 4, 2026 - at least according to the current plan. Prime Video could switch-up its schedule as it did with the first episode.

Prime Video teases: “The new season of Fallout will pick up in the aftermath of Season One’s epic finale and take audiences along for a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas.

“Two-hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.”
