The second season of Fallout is debuting one day earlier than previously announced: the new season will now launch on Tuesday, December 16th at 9PM ET / 6PM PT on Prime Video, Amazon says. The season will have eight episodes that will premiere weekly on Wednesdays (besides this first episode), with the season finale airing on February 4th, 2026.

Walton Goggins returns as The Ghoul, once known as Cooper Howard. He carries memories from before the bombs fell. His past links Vault-Tec to global collapse. In Fallout Season 2, his hunt for answers becomes personal and direct. Goggins brings sharp focus to grief and anger, but he also shows restraint. That balance keeps the character grounded.

Bethesda Executive Producer Todd Howard told Dexerto how Macaulay Culkin joined the wasteland for Fallout Season 2.
