Fallout was a smash hit on Amazon Prime Video when the video game adaptation debuted last year.
The nuclear disaster drama became the second-most-watched series of all time on the streaming platform, totaling 65million viewers in its first 16 days of release, quickly earning a season two renewal.
In a streaming landscape where the only show that seems to return year in, year out is The Bear (albeit with diminishing returns) Amazon has even confirmed the post-apocalyptic adventure will be back in the year after we last it.
The release window has been set for this December, with a new poster providing fans a first look at the returning cast of characters.
The official Amazon Prime Video account posted the promotional picture to X, showing Lucy (Ella Purnell), Ghoul (Walton Goggins), canine Dogmeat and Maximus (Aaron Moten) walking underneath the infamous Las Vegas welcome sign – now dilapidated and titled ‘New’ Vegas.
‘Time for a little road trip. We’re heading back to the Wasteland this December,’ the caption read, not quite sharing the actual release date just yet.

TV viewers are already beside themselves with excitement at the idea of returning to the nuclear Wasteland, with @RandomGoomba commenting beneath the poster: ‘Start filming season 3 now. This show is gold.’
The show has a near-perfect score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, currently sitting at 93% – so what can fans expect from its second outing?
Good things, according to Walton Goggins. The actor was mid-filming the show earlier this year when he told Deadline: ‘Season one was extraordinary, personally, I was very pleased with it.
‘[Season two] blows it out of the water, what these writers have done and the artisans that have come together to tell this story. It’s really gonna be something. I can’t wait for people to see it. We’re working really hard to make that happen.’
Ella Purnell, who plays wide-eyed, blue-suited Lucy, last year said she was already trying to psyche herself up for filming the psychically-gruelling episodes.
In October, she told Variety: ‘My only preparation so far is that I’m attempting to work out – and that’s just me knowing that in six months I’m going to be running up a hill 500 times and trying not to have asthma attack.’
Fallout season 2 will return to Amazon Prime Video in December.
