Fallout Season 2 Soundtrack: Songs from the Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland
January 2, 2026
=======================================================================
Prime Video’s return to the bizarre, post-apocalyptic universe of Fallout brings a nostalgic and atmospheric soundtrack that captures its retro-futuristic vibe. Since the franchise's inception nearly 30 years ago with the original PC game, its distinctive musical aesthetic has become iconic. The latest season continues this tradition, featuring songs that evoke the era before the nuclear war, primarily from the 1940s to the 1960s.
A Musical Journey Through a Post-Apocalyptic Future
Set in an alternate future where atomic technology was more widespread before the catastrophe, Fallout's soundtracks are legendary for their curated playlists. The first season showcased tracks such as “Orange Colored Sky” by Nat King Cole and “I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire” by The Ink Spots. Season 2 follows Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell) on her quest across the Mojave Desert to find her villainous father, Hank (Kyle MacLachlan), leading her to the vibrant city of New Vegas.
Fans can anticipate hearing some familiar tunes from the 2010 game Fallout: New Vegas, including classics like “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head” by Dean Martin. Below is a full list of songs featured in the current season, which we’ll keep updated with each new episode.
