The end is nigh! The end of Fallout season 2, that is, which dropped its penultimate episode today.

The latest chapter in Prime Video's zany video game adaptation caught some flack early in its run for a meandering pace, which took a while to arrive at the promised setting of New Vegas.

However, things have spiced up in recent weeks with several crowd-pleasing moments, including the addition of franchise veteran Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy) in an intriguing supporting role.

Judging by the way things are headed, there's a risk that next week's finale could leave us with a major cliffhanger, but fans can at least be assured that it won't go unresolved.

In a show of faith, Prime Video handed Fallout an early renewal for season 3 last year, so we can expect to see Lucy (Ella Purnell) and The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) again in the not-too-distant (and hopefully, not yet apocalyptic) future.

If you're excited to see the finale, read on for our full guide to the Fallout season 2 release schedule – including when to expect episode 8 on Prime Video.

Fallout season 2 episode 8 will be released on Prime Video on Wednesday 4th February 2026.

The hit video game adaptation is set to be rolled out weekly on the streaming platform, which is the treatment typically given to its most high-profile productions.

What time are Fallout season 2 episodes released in the UK?

New episodes of Fallout season 2 will premiere at 2am on Wednesdays in the UK.

Prime Video has announced that, from 27th January, Fallout season 2 episodes will drop at 6pm PT – six hours earlier than they had been arriving beforehand.

Alas, due to the time difference, that still equates to the early hours of Wednesday morning for UK-based fans, meaning it probably won't have a huge impact on viewing habits over here.

How many episodes are there in Fallout season 2?

Fallout season 2 will consist of eight episodes in total, matching the number that comprised the first chapter.
