The streamer’s plan is locked: an eight-episode season beginning December 17, 2025 with new chapters each Wednesday, culminating on February 4, 2026. Viewing is exclusive to Amazon Prime Video worldwide starting opening day.
Amazon Studios chief Jennifer Salke hailed the show’s launch momentum, noting, “The bar was high for lovers of this iconic video game

Story: New Vegas, the Mohave, and the road ahead

Season 2 picks up immediately after the finale, keeping the timeline continuous. The journey tracks Lucy and the Ghoul into the Mohave Desert toward a ruined New Vegas, with threads that pry “much further into Cooper Howard’s past with Vault-Tec” before he became the Ghoul. Expect encounters with Deathclaws and even Caesar’s Legion while the group searches for Lucy’s father, Hank MacLean.
Fresh character posters spotlight the major factions and threats circling our leads: Lucy ringed by raiders, Maximus flanked by the Brotherhood of Steel, the Ghoul amidst other ghouls, and CX404 (Dogmeat) surrounded by Radscorpions.
