If you need anything on your radar this month, it's Fallout Season 2. The show is set to air on December 16, with new episodes set to run all the way through to February 3, 2026, as part of the expanded Fallout Season 2 release schedule. There's a lot of reasons you need to pay attention as Vault 33 Dweller Lucy MacLean, Brotherhood of Steel knight Maximus, and the wandering Ghoul make their return – and not just because the first season is one of the best Prime Video shows to emerge in recent years.

Fallout Season 2 is set to move its action to a different wasteland, introducing New Vegas. If you're a fan of the Fallout video games which helped inspire this show, you'll no doubt know that this was the location of the iconic Obsidian RPG which released in 2010 – Fallout: New Vegas. With the show and games more aligned than ever before, we're here to help steer you through the wilds and get set for the release of this second season.
