According to The Hollywood Reporter, Prime Video’s Fallout gained widespread global audience. The data from Prime Video shows that the series based on the game franchise with the same name shows that 83 million people worldwide watched at least some of the season during its first 13 weeks of release. Fallout is the second most-watched show on the streamer, currently behind only Reacher’s second season in 2023-24.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, the first season of the series also picked up viewership while the second season was airing. Amazon says that 100 million people globally watched at least a few minutes of the series as a whole. The series switched from airing all episodes for a season to airing episodes weekly for the second season. In the United States, the show spent nine weeks among Nielsen’s top 10 original streaming series. Fallout was renewed for a third season back in May 2025 with production scheduled to start in the summer.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Fallout continues to resonate in powerful way with our global Prime Video audience, and reaching 100 million viewers is a testament to the incredible creative vision of our collaborators at Kilter Films, Bethesda Game Studios, creators and showrunners Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner and the entire cast and crew,” said Peter Friedlander, head of global television at Amazon MGM Studios. “The show’s performance reaffirms this, with season two now joining season one as two of our top four biggest seasons we’ve ever launched. We’re thrilled to see the franchise continue to grow as we head into season three.”
As per The Hollywood Reporter, Fallout is based on a video game franchise from Bethesda Game Studios, owned by Microsoft. The series is its own stand-alone story but with many parts from the video games incorporated into the world. The series is set 200 years after an atomic war created an apocalyptic wasteland. The series follows the story of Lucy, a vault dweller, Cooper, a ghoul, and Maximus, a member of the Brotherhood of Steel.
All seasons of Fallout are available to stream on Prime Video.
