Fallout
Synopsis
The story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there's almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.
Cost to Watch: Fallout
16 episodes total. Binge estimate assumes a pace of about 20 episodes per month on each service's cheapest plan.
| Service | Monthly price | Binge cost | Per episode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon Prime Video | $8.99/mo | ~$8.99 (1 month) | ~$0.56 |
Thrifty tip: Subscribe to Amazon Prime Video for 1 month, binge, then cancel — about $8.99 instead of $107.88/year if you keep the subscription running. See more money-saving strategies.
What each season of Fallout costs
Very few people need every season at once. Because streaming is billed by the month with no contract, the real cost of catching up on Fallout is however many months your viewing pace takes — not a yearly subscription. The table below prices each season on Amazon Prime Video, the cheapest paid service carrying the show at $8.99 a month, at the same 20 episodes-per-month pace used above.
| Season | Episodes | Months to finish | Cost on Amazon Prime Video | Per episode |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | 8 | 1 | ~$8.99 | ~$1.12 |
| Season 2 | 8 | 1 | ~$8.99 | ~$1.12 |
What this means: Season 1 is the cheapest way in at about $8.99. Working through the seasons one at a time with a cancellation between each would total about $17.98, more than the $8.99 of a single continuous run — so if you intend to watch the whole show, keep the subscription open and finish it.
Fallout: common questions
- Where can I watch Fallout?
- Fallout is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. Availability changes as licensing deals move between services, so it is worth re-checking before you subscribe.
- How much does it cost to watch all of Fallout?
- About $8.99. At roughly 20 episodes a month, 16 episodes take 1 month on Amazon Prime Video at $8.99 a month, which works out to about $0.56 an episode. Leaving the same subscription running for a full year would cost $107.88 instead.
- What is the cheapest way to watch Fallout?
- Amazon Prime Video is the only paid service carrying it, at $8.99 a month. The bigger saving is in cancelling afterwards: streaming services bill monthly with no contract, so the subscription only needs to exist while you are watching, and rotating in and out around what you are actually mid-way through is the single biggest lever on a streaming budget.
- Can I watch just one season of Fallout?
- Yes, and it is much cheaper. On Amazon Prime Video the least expensive season here is Season 1 — 8 episodes, about 1 month of subscription at $8.99. Paying season by season keeps the total down whenever you are not committed to the whole run.
- How many episodes of Fallout are there?
- 16 episodes across 2 seasons. At 20 episodes a month that is roughly 1 month of viewing.
