Fallout Season 2 Is Finally Fixing Its Dumb Midnight Release Times
"Good morning, Vault Dwellers! Due to strong participation and interest, we have amended the start times for the remaining Season Two presentations. Episode Seven will now begin Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 6 p.m. PT, and Episode Eight will now begin Tuesday, Feb. 3 at 6 p.m. PT.

"While I've been a fan of the weekly rollout of Fallout season two, as it allows my friend group time to watch and then later chat about each episode at the same time as the internet, I really, really hated the midnight release time. It made it harder for sites to cover, made it more annoying for people to avoid spoilers the following morning, and didn't really seem to have any benefit other than that some night owls got to watch the latest episode a bit earlier than everyone else. So I'm very happy with this change!"
"In fact, it should work this way when Fallout season three arrives in the future. Amazon already confirmed a third season is on the way, and I'll be madder than a Deathclaw with a dart in its leg if the streaming giant decides to go back to midnight releases for that next round of episodes."
Amazon Prime Video changed the release time for the remaining two episodes of Fallout season two from midnight to 6 p.m. PT. Episode Seven will premiere Tuesday, January 27, and Episode Eight will premiere Tuesday, February 3, both at 6 p.m. PT. Amazon attributed the change to strong participation and interest. Many viewers disliked midnight releases because they complicated coverage, increased morning spoiler risk, and benefited only late-night viewers. The weekly rollout continues, providing synchronized viewing and discussion opportunities. Amazon has confirmed a third season, and viewers expect early-evening release times to continue for future seasons.
