Below is the complete episode guide, which tracks when each new chapter of Fallout season 2 becomes available on Prime Video:

What is Fallout Season 2 all about?

Picking up directly after the events of season 1, Fallout season 2 shifts its narrative focus toward New Vegas, a location inspired heavily by the fan-favorite 2010 game Fallout: New Vegas. 

Lucy’s arc takes on a darker tone this season. Having learned the truth about Vault-Tec, she is no longer motivated by blind optimism. Her pursuit of Hank is driven by accountability rather than reunion, reframing their relationship as one of moral opposition. Hank’s escape toward New Vegas sets him up as a central figure in the season’s conflict, particularly as his past decisions begin to surface.

Ghoul remains one of the series’ most compelling figures, with the new trailer offering additional glimpses into his pre-war life as a Hollywood actor. These flashbacks continue to humanize him while reinforcing how deeply the old world’s failures shaped the monster he became. His partnership with Lucy remains uneasy, built on necessity rather than trust.

The Brotherhood of Steel plays a much larger role this season, with the trailer highlighting internal divisions and growing authoritarian tendencies. A key moment features Brotherhood leader Quintus framing their mission as a promise to “make better this fallen world”, a line quickly undercut by suggestions of an impending civil war. Maximus finds himself increasingly conflicted, caught between loyalty and conscience.

New cast additions also expand the scope of Fallout season 2. Justin Theroux joins the series as Mr. House, the enigmatic ruler of New Vegas whose influence looms large over the city’s future. Macaulay Culkin enters the story in a secretive role described as a volatile genius. Kumail Nanjiani also appears as Paladin Xander Harkness, adding further intrigue to the season’s expanding ensemble.

The newly released trailer teases a long-awaited confrontation between Lucy and Hank, ending with his quiet but loaded line: 

“My little sugar bomb.”
