Fallout Season 2 Has Finished Filming — So When’s the Release Date Dropping?

Hurray! Fallout fans, it’s happening. Season 2 of the Amazon Prime TV series has officially wrapped filming, and now the whole wasteland is waiting on that all-important Fallout Season 2 release date. After a highly successful first season in April 2024, which scored both critical praise and record-breaking viewership for Prime Video, the stakes are high, and the hype is very real.

The news dropped via Fallout’s official Twitter account in proper Vault-Tec fashion: “Achievement unlocked! Fallout Season 2 has wrapped production.” The announcement came with a chaotic little video of Walton Goggins peeling off his Ghoul makeup and yeeting a clump of it at the camera. Because, of course, he did.

"Achievement unlocked! Fallout Season 2 has wrapped production."

That alone would’ve sparked buzz, but fans have been quietly feasting for a while now. The set had more leaks than a broken water chip, with Novac and the New Vegas Strip already spotted in behind-the-scenes shots. Everything is pointing toward a New Vegas-inspired storyline, and if they pull it off, it’s going to break the fandom wide open.

Ella Purnell (Lucy) and Aaron Moten (Maximus) also confirmed the wrap on Instagram. Purnell dropped a selfie with the man himself, Kyle MacLachlan, aka Hank MacLean — her vault-dad and possibly the smoothest enigma since Twin Peaks. MacLachlan’s style in Fallout is peak controlled chaos: think Paul Atreides with corporate chill and just enough menace to keep you squinting at the screen. Like in Dune and Twin Peaks, he's all about saying 20% of what he means, then letting silence do the rest.

Meanwhile, Moten was spotted in full Brotherhood of Steel armor, lounging like a knight taking five after a nuke. The vibes are strong.

With filming wrapped, editing and post-production are next, which makes the release window tricky. Season 1 hit in April 2024 — so a spring 2025 launch would make sense. But if Amazon wants to keep the radiation hot, they might try for a late 2025 drop. Either way, we’re probably just a few months out from seeing New Vegas in all its neon-glow-and-bullet-hole glory.

The big question now: what’s coming next for Lucy, Maximus, and The Ghoul? If the show sticks to the tone of Season 1, which somehow managed to be bleak, hilarious, stylish, and deeply Fallout all at once, then Season 2 is shaping up to be something special. The New Vegas setting opens up a ton of potential: factions, moral chaos, and casino showdowns with NCR soldiers at the bar and Mr. House lurking behind the curtain.

Fallout’s first season succeeded because it didn’t just reference the games — it got them. The world was weird, violent, broken, and kind of funny about it. It was Fallout at heart, and fans felt that. With characters already beloved and a cast firing on all cylinders (shoutout again to Goggins, who is just unhinged enough to make a ghoul sympathetic), Season 2 just needs to keep that energy going.

For now, we wait. The nukes have dropped. The vault door’s still closed. But the surface is looking pretty damn promising.
