The second season of Fallout started with a bang late in 2025, allowing viewers to return to the Wasteland and featuring iconic locales from the hit video game series. With the introduction of New Vegas and exciting new character arcs for Lucy (Ella Purnell), Maximus (Aaron Moten), and the Ghoul (Walton Goggins), this new batch of episodes has proved successful, although not garnering as much attention or buzz as its debut season in 2024. As the second season is fast approaching its conclusion, it has now been revealed that the final episodes of the series will drop a little earlier than usual.
Fallout Season 2’s episode schedule change was revealed via the official social media accounts for the series, with the posts letting “Vault Dwellers” know that the episode air dates and times have slightly changed. The seventh and penultimate episode of the second season will now air on Tuesday, January 27 at 6 PM, and the Season 2 finale will air on Tuesday, February 3 at 6 PM PT. The episodes up to this point had been airing on Wednesdays at 12 AM PT, which means fans can now experience the ending of Season 2 almost a whole day earlier.
This news is somewhat unsurprising, given that the Season 2 premiere of the show had dropped earlier than expected as a surprise for the holidays. Initially set to premiere on December 17, the announcement that the first episode of the new season will instead drop on December 16 came via an advertisement on the Las Vegas sphere, an apt choice considering that most of the new episodes take place in New Vegas. The season thus far has had exciting twists and turns, especially when it involves Lucy’s father, Hank MacLean, played by Kyle MacLachlan. Thus far, everything points to an explosive conclusion.
‘Fallout’ Season 2 is Set to Have an Exciting Final Two Episodes
All the episodes up to this point have had intriguing but separate plot points. Lucy and the Ghoul’s trek to New Vegas has been filled with the moral ambiguity that was featured in the first season, whereas Maximus’ story arc with the Brotherhood of Steel has focused on the struggle for power in the Wasteland. Hank’s storyline involved a device that can seemingly control people, and while each arc has felt disconnected from the other, the sixth episode that was just recently released teased that all the different stories of the Wasteland are finally going to converge on New Vegas.
There is also Walton Goggins’ Cooper Howard and his life in the past before he became the Ghoul, which might still have some more exciting revelations in the upcoming final two episodes. The confirmation of a third season for the series last year might also mean that the last two episodes of Season 2 could very well not just provide an exciting conclusion to the current story arcs, but also set up an expansion of the world of the wasteland. Hopefully, that will also include a few easter eggs for fans of the original video game franchise that might tease what will come next.
