Amazon Upfront’s Fallout season 2 teaser trailer dives deeper into Walton Goggins’ pre-ghoul role with Vault-Tec and teases the New Vegas setting. The upfront presentation was held on Monday, May 12, in New York City and came with the debut of trailers for prominent 2025 projects. In addition to the teaser trailer, Amazon announced that Fallout has been renewed for season 3, and that season 2 is expected to premiere in December 2025, continuing the stories of Lucy, The Ghoul, Maximus, Hank, and more.
The teaser trailer for Fallout season 2 begins with the text “Stay tuned for a special Vault-Tec presentation,” before counting down to a series of clips featuring Goggins as a pre-apocalypse Cooper Howard. He is joined by actor Amy Acker, who serves as Cooper’s assistant as he is pushed to film Vault-Tec advertisements for familiar Fallout products like Nuka-Cola and Atomic Sunscreen. Finally, the trailer wraps up with another look at New Vegas and flaming text that reads “December,” teasing the 2025 release window for Fallout season 2.
What The Amazon Upfront Trailer Means For Fallout Season 2
A First Look At The Coming Episodes
Fallout season 1 established The Ghoul’s story, and it’s evident from the season 2 teaser trailer that the coming episodes will take things further. This makes sense considering Goggins’ ever-growing fame since season 1 concluded in April 2024. His feature in the Amazon Upfront teaser hints that there will be more sequences outlining Cooper Howard’s past work with Vault-Tec, including his growing frustration at the role he was pressured to play in the corrupt company’s promotional material. Of course, that’s not all. The Fallout season 2 trailer pays off the previous New Vegas tease.

Fallout Season 2: Cast, Story & Everything We Know
Prime Video’s adaptation of the ever-popular video game Fallout has arrived with its critically-acclaimed first season, and season 2 is on the way.
Following the quippy pre-apocalypse sequence, the Fallout season 2 trailer jumps back to the series’ present day with a shot of a beaten-up Las Vegas road sign. From there, the Ghoul and company head toward the rusted cityscape of New Vegas, a familiar location from the sequel video game Fallout: New Vegas. This same location was teased at the end of season 1, so the trailer pays off the hope that New Vegas will be a prominent feature of the coming episodes.
Our Take On The Fallout Season 2 Teaser Trailer
More Walton Goggins & New Vegas Arriving In Less Time Than Anticipated
Amazon featuring a pre-Ghoul Walton Goggins in the Fallout season 2 teaser was a pretty strategic move. This trailer was both witty and exciting, balancing out Goggins’ hilarious reactions to the Vault-Tec promotions (like his face after drinking Nuka-Cola or his declaration that Atomic Sunscreen is just lotion) with the intriguing reveal that New Vegas is quite literally on the horizon. This was perfectly capped with the news that season 2 would premiere in December 2025—less than two years after season 1 first hit Prime Video. Our wait for more Fallout will be delightfully manageable.
