Overview
- Nielsen counted 794 million viewing minutes for Fallout in the U.S. for Dec. 15–21, with the season 2 premiere arriving Dec. 16 on Prime Video.
- About 54% of the total, roughly 429 million minutes, came from the new episode, with the remainder from earlier installments.
- The series placed No. 7 across all streaming programs and No. 4 among streaming originals for the week.
- Season 1 logged 2.9 billion minutes in its first week under a full-season binge release, making raw week-to-week comparisons with season 2 inherently skewed.
- Nielsen’s ratings track only U.S. TV-set viewing, Amazon has not shared its own figures, and industry reporting says the season 2 debut fell below season 1 without a dramatic collapse.
