Prime Video has released a mayhem-packed new trailer for Fallout Season 2, which will stream on December 17. New Vegas, here we come!
It’s been a while since Prime Video invited us back to the world of Fallout. Following the release of the exciting character posters, Prime Video has been keeping us on the edge of our seats as we eagerly await the upcoming second season. The highly anticipated eight-episode season will premiere on 17th December 2025, with one episode rolling out weekly until the season finale on 4th February 2026. That’s right, our early Christmas present is a trip to the ruins of Las Vegas. But what can we expect from the new season?
Thankfully, today the streamer has dropped an all-new trailer that gives us a taste of what we can expect from the latest episodes as Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, and Walton Goggins continue their adventures in the Wasteland. The epic trailer showcases action-packed sequences, mutated creatures, exciting cast reveals—Kumail Nanjiani and Macaulay Culkin—and thrilling mysteries on the Wasteland’s horizon. The new season 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. But perhaps the most awesome imagery of them all is legions of infected Elvis impersonators walking the borders of New Vegas. You heard right! The King is back from the dead! But don’t lose control of your pit boy, check out the new trailer below.
SEASON ONE
In my FIVE-STAR review of the first season, I said: “Prime Video has spared no expense on this series; the results are impressive. The show’s palette is vibrant, and the scale is off the charts. You’ll be in your element here if you have a penchant for Mad Max movies. Fortunately, the series has enough merit to satisfy gaming enthusiasts and movie buffs. If Nolan, Lisa Joy, Geneva Robertson-Dworet, and Graham Wagner aimed to raise the bar for video game adaptations, they succeeded. Fallout is another smash hit for Prime Video.” Read the full review here.

The series comes from Kilter Films and executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. Nolan directed the first three episodes of Season One. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators, and co-showrunners. In its first four days of release, the high-octane fuelled series has become a hit with its global audience, ranking among the service’s top three most-watched titles ever and the most-watched season globally since Rings of Power. The debut season of Fallout premiered exclusively on Prime Video on Wednesday 10 April, in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

“Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have captivated the world with this ground-breaking, wild ride of a show. The bar was high for lovers of this iconic video game and so far, we seem to have exceeded their expectations, while bringing in millions of new fans to the franchise. The cast led by Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan have knocked it out of the park!,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios. “We’d like to thank Jonah and Lisa and our friends at Bethesda for bringing the show to us as well as Geneva and Graham for coming aboard as showrunners. We are thrilled to announce season two after only one week out and take viewers even farther into the surreal world of Fallout.”
THE SERIES
Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 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.
Ella Purnell is Lucy, an optimistic Vault-dweller with an all-American can-do spirit. Her peaceful and idealistic nature is tested when she is forced to the surface to rescue her father. Aaron Moten is Maximus, a young soldier who rises to the rank of squire in the militaristic faction called the Brotherhood of Steel. He will do anything to further the Brotherhood’s goals of bringing law and order to the wasteland. Walton Goggins is the Ghoul, a morally ambiguous bounty hunter who holds within him a 200-year history of the post-nuclear world. These disparate parties collide when chasing an artefact from an enigmatic researcher that has the potential to radically change the power dynamic in this world.
SEASON 2
Prime Video’s Fallout stars Ella Purnell, Kyle MacLachlan, Walton Goggins, Xelia Mendes-Jones, Aaron Moten, Moisés Arias, Sarita Choudhury, Michael Emerson, Leslie Uggams, Frances Turner, Dave Register, Zach Cherry, Johnny Pemberton, Rodrigo Luzzi, and Annabel O’Hagan. Joining the cast for Season 2 is Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin, who will be playing the recurring role of “a crazy genius-type character.”
RELEASE
What a sensational new trailer! The series has proven to be a stellar adaptation of the games, and based on this latest trailer, that trend continues into season two. Thankfully, we only have to wait until December for the next crop of episodes. However, the first season is highly rewatchable and will keep fans engaged until the new episodes are released. So, while we wait, saddle up, lock and load, and return to the Wasteland for a rewatch worth its weight in caps! I’ll be staying in Shady Sands with a cool cup of radiated water… don’t ask where it comes from!
Fallout Season Two emerges from the Wasteland on December 17, with one episode rolling out weekly until the season finale on 4th February 2026.
