We knew Fallout was big, but we didn’t know how big. Thankfully, Amazon has pulled back the curtain a little on the Prime Video series’ viewing figures – and they’re eye-watering.

Fallout was watched by "more than 65 million viewers" in its first 16 days according to the streamer. That makes it the second most-watched Prime Video series of all time, being bested by only The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. 

While exact figures on The Rings of Power are limited, over 25 million people watched the Lord of the Rings prequel in its first 24 hours with over 100 million total tuning in to see how Galadriel fared on her quest in Middle-earth’s Second Age.

  • Justin Theroux as Mr. House in Fallout season 2 Fallout season 2 release schedule: when is episode 8 on Prime Video?

Fallout, which also reached #1 in over 170 countries, did become the most-popular Prime Video show of all time with the 18-34 demographic, however. Take that, Sauron.

We’ll be getting even more time outside the Vault and in the Wasteland, too. Prime Video recently announced that Fallout would return for a second season. The showrunners have already teased that Deathclaws would be on the way, while the Fallout season 1 ending surely sets up plenty of adventures in New Vegas.

For more from the series, check out our explainers, breakdowns, and cast interviews below:

  • The Fallout TV show went the extra mile – by creating a real-life Pip-Boy for its cast to use
  • Fallout TV show stars and creators on working with Todd Howard: "It means a lot to get his approval"
  • Fallout TV show star Walton Goggins intentionally chose not to play Fallout, even after getting the job
  • Fallout cast watched Twitch and YouTube streams of the games before filming: "Watching people play was vital"
  • When does the Fallout TV show take place on the series timeline?
  • The Fallout TV show just revealed the canon origins of Vault Boy's signature thumbs up 
  • All of the Fallout Easter eggs we spotted in the TV show 
  • Fallout’s finale may have just answered the centuries-old mystery behind who started the nuclear apocalypse

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
