Fallout will be on people’s minds this winter TV awards season, which spans the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards and various guild awards as Season 2 of the Prime Video series will be releasing new episodes through most of it. However, the popular post-apocalyptic drama will not enter any of the races despite being eligible.
With Season 2 premiering on Dec. 17, followed by a weekly rollout until the finale on Feb. 4, 2026, only the first three episodes will be available on the platform by the submission deadlines. With most of the rest not finished amid legitimate leak concerns that surround unreleased episodes of any hit show, Fallout producer Amazon MGM Studios has opted to wait until all eight episode are completed and widely available.
That will push the launch of the Fallout Season 2 awards campaign to the 2026 Emmys, followed by fall 2026 consideration for the 2027 Critics Choice and guild awards. Amazon’s awards strategy will take Fallout Season 2 out of Globes contention altogether.
Season 1 of Fallout earned 17 Emmy nominations with additional award nominations from nine guilds. Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins star along with Aaron Moten, Kyle MacLachlan, Moisés Arias and Frances Turner.
Fallout is produced by Kilter Films, with executive producers Jonah Nolan, Lisa Joy and Athena Wickham. Robertson-Dworet and Wagner also serve as executive producers, creators, and showrunners. Todd Howard, Bethesda Game Studios, executive produces along with James Altman for Bethesda Softworks. Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films produce in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.
