The newest Nielsen ratings have arrived, showing a gigantic drop-off for Fallout Season 2<\/a> compared to Fallout Season 1. However, there is an obvious explanation for the dip.<\/p>\n

According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Fallout viewership reached 794 million minutes on Prime Video for the week of December 15-21, which covers when Season 2 debuted on December 16. Season 1 racked up 2.9 billion minutes of streaming time during its own opening week in April 2024. That’s a 72% decrease, but the massive downturn was no doubt attributable to how the two seasons were released.<\/p>\n

Season 1, many may recall, was released in a binge format with all episodes arriving at the same time. Season 2, meanwhile, is adopting a weekly release schedule. What’s more, just one episode of Fallout Season 2 was released on December 16, compared to two or three that Prime Video does for some of its other shows.<\/p>\n

Given all this, it only makes sense that Fallout Season 1 would have significantly higher viewership statistics compared to Season 2.<\/p>\n

According to the Nielsen data–which combines multiple seasons in its ranking reports– 54% of Fallout streaming minutes on Prime Video for the December 15-21 week were from Season 2, making up about 429 million minutes. The rest came from viewership of Season 1.<\/p>\n

Fallout Season 2 just recently aired its fifth episode, with three more to come each Wednesday until Season 2 wraps on February 4. A third season will follow sometime later and could start filming sooner than expected<\/a>.<\/p>\n
