If you’ve already seen Fallout, you’ll definitely be asking yourself: Will this crazy show come back for a second season? Amazon didn’t keep viewers in suspense for long, as just a week after the series premiere it greenlit a sequel.

Many fans of the Fallout games were concerned about whether the Amazon Prime Video series would capture the spirit of the original. It turned out that the creators of the show were up to the task. They took viewers on a fascinating journey through a post-apocalyptic world full of danger and surprises.

The season finale solved some mysteries, but also created some new ones. We have gathered all the information about the second season of Prime Video’s Fallout.

When is Fallout season 2 coming out?

Amazon renewed Fallout for a second season, but has not yet set a premiere date. However, based on the production schedule for Season 1, we are trying to predict when Season 2 will release on Prime Video.

Amazon announced the Fallout series in July 2020, and filming began on July 5, 2022. Season 1 debuted on the service on April 10, 2024, one year and nine months after work on the set began.

Work on season 2 may take less time as the creators are not starting production from scratch. If nothing stands in our way, we predict that Fallout season 2 could arrive on Prime Video in the second half of 2025.

Season 1 of the post-apocalyptic show is now streaming on Prime Video.

What could the plot of Fallout season 2 be about?

Spoilers for season 1 below.

The world of Fallout is very colorful and endowed with a long history. It’s packed with extraordinary inventions, bizarre mutants, crazy individuals, mind-boggling robots and warring factions.

The first season only showed a piece of this universe. In the second season, the creators get a chance to present a larger part of the post-apocalyptic world, where retro aesthetics mix with futuristic technology.

Here’s a list of major storylines we think will appear in Fallout season 2:

The journey of Lucy, Ghoul and Dog together

In the season 1 finale, Lucy decides to join forces with the hated Ghoul and hunt for Hank. Lucy’s father is supposedly on his way to where Vault-Tec’s main bosses are hidden. Ghoul follows him and hopes to find his wife and daughter, who would have ended up in one of the company’s best vaults.

The Fight for Cold Fusion

Moldaver managed to restore Cold Fusion technology, but her hideout was soon overrun by the Brotherhood of Steel. Presumably the soldiers seized the invention. However, in season 2, they will likely fight over a Cold Fusion with other factions, including the Enclave, from which Dr. Siggi Wilzig escaped.

The backstory of the ghoul

The first season showed a fragment of the events of 200 years ago. However, it is still unclear how Cooper separated from his wife and what happened to his family immediately after the nuclear explosion. In season 2, the writers need to fill in these gaps.

Maximus and the Brotherhood of Steel

Despite all the morally questionable decisions that Maximus made, he was offered not only to return to the Brotherhood, but also to participate in its reconstruction. Perhaps in season 2, Maximus will have to decide whether he wants to devote himself to the Brotherhood and help it take over the Wasteland, or whether he wants to help Lucy.

Standard and safe 31

One of the most exciting elements of the season was Lucy’s brother trying to untangle the web of conspiracies surrounding Vaults 31, 32 and 33. Unfortunately, curiosity is the first degree of hell. Even though Norm got answers to his questions, he was trapped in Vault 31. Someone will definitely have to help Norm get out. Maybe it’s Chet who can escape from Vault 32, under the supervision of the extremely creepy Steph.

Thaddeus as a ghoul

The wounded squire’s decision to trust a randomly met ‘doctor’ turned out to be highly reckless. However, Thaddeus’ transformation was one of the funniest scenes of the finale. We hope the hapless soldier will appear in season 2 and not as a zombie-like, wild ghoul.

Vault mysteries

According to a conversation Cooper overheard 200 years earlier, the creators of the crypts had many strange ideas for managing their inhabitants. Residents forced to fight for resources, controlled by a milk-dispensing robot, or turned into Super-Mutants are just a few of them. We hope that in Season 2 we will visit more hideouts and discover new puzzles lurking within.

Amazon Studios

The second season probably won’t see it Sarita Choudhury as Lee Moldaver, although there may be flashbacks with her.

Who creates the Fallout series?

Amazon entrusted the adaptation of Fallout to Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, with their company Kilter Films. The choice was well-considered, as the duo previously created the futuristic series Westworld for HBO.

Joining Nolan, Joy and Athena Wickham of Kilter Films, the show’s executive producer is Todd Howard, who has directed several games in the Fallout franchise. The executive team is supported by James Altman of Bethesda Softworks.

The showrunners for the series are Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner, who are also serving as writers and executive producers on the project.
