Where to stream Fallout Season 2
Fallout Season 2 is streaming on Prime Video, and episodes are releasing weekly (not all at once). That means you’ll want a plan that keeps you covered for the full run—especially if you’re trying to watch without paying.
Season 2 includes eight episodes total, so timing your trial and subscription matters if you want to stay in the “free” zone as long as possible.
How to watch Fallout Season 2 online for free
If you’re searching “how to watch Fallout Season 2 online for free,” the key is sticking to legal, official options—and using them strategically.
Option 1: Use a Prime Video free trial
If you’re not currently a subscriber, the most common free method is a 30-day free trial through Amazon Prime (which includes Prime Video). This is the cleanest way to watch Season 2 “for free” at launch—just remember:
- Set a reminder for your renewal date
- Cancel before the trial ends if you don’t want to be charged
- Confirm your account shows “trial” status before you start streaming
Because Season 2 is releasing weekly, you may not be able to watch the entire season within a single trial window depending on the schedule. Still, a trial is the best “no-cost start” if you’re watching episode-by-episode as it drops.
Option 2: Watch Season 1 for free first (Samsung TV Plus)
Need to catch up before Season 2? Good news: Fallout Season 1 is available to stream on Samsung TV Plus for free (no subscription required). That’s ideal if you want to refresh the story before you commit to Prime Video for Season 2.
This approach is also helpful if you’re trying to minimize paid streaming time:
- Watch Season 1 free first
- Then start Prime Video closer to when more Season 2 episodes are available
Option 3: Split the cost with a household plan (still legit)
If “free” is your goal but you’re okay spending as little as possible, consider sharing within your household using the platform’s supported features (only if it complies with the service’s rules). For many viewers, this becomes the most realistic way to keep up weekly without paying full price alone.
Prime Video pricing (if you decide to keep watching)
If the free trial ends and you want to keep going, there are typically two routes:
- Prime Video-only plan (budget option)
- Full Amazon Prime membership (includes Prime Video + shipping perks and more)
If you’re primarily subscribing for Fallout, the video-only plan is usually the simplest choice. If you use Amazon regularly, the full Prime membership can be better value.
Fallout Season 2 plot: what’s happening this time
Season 2 doesn’t waste time. Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell) and The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) head to New Vegas to track down Lucy’s father, Hank (Kyle MacLachlan)—and the journey pulls them deeper into a conspiracy tied to Vault-Tec.
Expect the show to keep its signature mix of:
- post-apocalyptic survival tension
- dark humor and weirdness
- brutal action
- “who can you trust?” twists
The returning cast includes Aaron Moten, Moisés Arias, Xelia Mendes-Jones, Frances Turner, and more.
