Fallout season 2: New Zealand trailer and release date
It’s time to head back to the Wasteland.
One of the most popular video game franchises of all time is now one of the hottest TV shows of the moment, and it’s about to return to our screens. Brought to us by Westworld‘s Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the much-anticipated second season of Fallout is imminent.
How to watch Fallout season 2 in New Zealand
Fallout season 2 is streaming in New Zealand exclusively on Prime Video from December 17, 2025.
What is Fallout about?
Set in a retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic wasteland populated by mutants, ghouls, deathclaws, radscorpions, and the odd wandering power armour aficionado, Fallout chucks all of the familiar after-the-bomb tropes into a blender to produce something unique.
Last season saw fate bring together three heroes: compassionate but naïve Vault Dweller Lucy; cynical mutated bounty hunter the Ghoul; and conflicted Brotherhood of Steel recruit Maximus. Having survived everything the Wasteland has to throw at them, last season saw Lucy discover that her beloved father was a bad ‘un and partly responsible for the nuclear apocalypse that engulfed the globe. This season we pick up with Lucy’s dad fleeing across the desert, and our heroes in hot pursuit—towards New Vegas, one of the most iconic locations in the game franchise.
The cast of Fallout
Ella Purnell is Lucy, a young Vault Dweller and the hero of our tale; Walton Goggins is Cooper Howard AKA The Ghoul, a former TV star turned gunslinging ghoul; Aaron Moten is Maximus, a Brotherhood of Steel Knight starting to doubt the aims of his order; Kyle MacLachlan is Hank, Lucy’s father and former Vault Overseer; Moisés Arias is Norm, Lucy’s younger brother; Frances Turner is Barb Howard, Cooper’s wife before the war; Justin Theroux is robotics magnate Robert House, and IYKYK; and Kumail Nanjiani and Macaulay Culkin are in roles that are yet to be revealed.

Why we’re excited about Fallout season 2
The first season was an absolute (atomic) blast that did an incredible job of translating the heightened, retro-futuristic aesthetic of the games to live action. It managed to give us interesting characters to engage with too; way too many adaptations forget that bit. We can’t wait to head into the Mojave.
