Prime Video confirms 'Fallout' season 2 release date in epic first trailer — here's when we're heading to New Vegas

Just days after we got our first look at "Fallout" season 2, Prime Video dropped a teaser trailer for "Fallout" season 2 and a release date for the hit video game adaptation's second season during the Gamescom Opening Night Live livestream — and I can't wait to get back to the Wasteland.
It was clear from "Fallout's" first season that the cast and crew just got the franchise's vibe, and this season 2 teaser trailer makes for an intense (but exciting!) watch.
While we've known for some time that "Fallout" season 2 would be taking us to Mr. House's Mojave playground, New Vegas, seeing the city's bright lights and sights brought to life here is a real treat — as is the Deathclaw run-in teased at the end of the clip. Check out the new footage below:
The new "Fallout" season 2 teaser isn't just an exercise in Fallout: New Vegas location-spotting, though: it's also teeing up plenty more conflict to come.
We glimpse The Ghoul/Cooper Howard's past as we're told he'd do "anything" to save his family, get a quick look at Lucy and The Ghoul crossing paths with what looks to be Caesar's Legion, watch as Radroaches infest a Vault, and see explosions, firefights, and more. All in all, this is a killer teaser trailer, and it's certainly got me excited to stream "Fallout" season 2.
If you can't wait to see New Vegas in a whole new light, you'll be pleased to know that "Fallout" season 2 premieres on Prime Video on Wednesday, December 17, 2025. New episodes will air weekly, through to the season finale on February 4, 2026.
What else do we know about 'Fallout' season 2 right now?
Prime Video's "Fallout" season 2 summary gives little away about the upcoming season, beyond what we've seen above. It reads: "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."

Cast-wise, we know that most of our major players are back for "Fallout" season 2. We'll be seeing Walton Goggins, Ella Purnell, and Aaron Moten, plus Kyle MacLachlan, Moisés Arias, Frances Turner, and Rafi Silver as Lucky 38 Casino proprietor, Mr. House.
Macaulay Culkin is also due to appear as a "crazy genius-type character," though his precise role remains undisclosed.
Whatever happens in season 2, we also know this won't be the end of our tale, as Prime Video handed the series a season 3 renewal way back in May 2025.
