Is this good news or bad news? Fallout Season 2 will air one episode a week (old timey broadcast television style) instead of the entire season being made available on December 17 (new Netflix television style).

This is a change from Fallout Season 1, where the entire season was available for gorging the day it premiered. If you want to binge Fallout Season 2 all at once, looks like you'll have to wait until the season concludes on February 4, 2026.

So, good news or bad news? Hate to say this, but I'm a TV binger, so I'd really prefer the entire show be available at once, like Season 1 was. It's just more palatable that way to me. If there's a cliffhanger, I can find out what happens immediately. If there's an unsatisfying ending to an episode, I can immediately wash it away with a new one instead of sulking about it for a week. Instead of sleeping or talking to loved ones or being productive, I can just sit in one place and blast eight solid hours of television into my skull. It's great.

And honestly, some of these shows, even when they're good, can be kinda slow. I didn't watch Better Call Saul when it originally aired, I caught it on streaming when it was all wrapped up. I love the show, but I think watching it week-by-week (like Breaking Bad) would occasionally be frustrating due to its slow pace (like Breaking Bad). Streaming a series all at once makes it go down a lot easier.

On the other hand, if you're someone who likes subscribing to a streaming platform for a month, swallowing down a bunch of shows in a few binge sessions, then cancelling, this isn't a bad deal. Just wait until February, sub for a month, and consume Fallout Season 2 before your subscription runs out. You can watch the new teaser for Fallout Season 2 right here.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
