Viva New Vegas. Prime Video revealed the release date and first-look images of Fallout season 2, which introduces the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas.

In the Fallout season 1 finale, Hanks escapes in power armor and intends to fly to New Vegas, one of the few major cities reconstructed from the ruins of Las Vegas after the nuclear holocaust. New Vegas is one of the most popular cities in the Fallout universe and serves as the setting for the fourth video game, Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout season 2 stars Ella Purnell as Lucy MacLean, Aaron Moten as Maximus, Walton Goggins as the Ghoul/Cooper Howard, Kyle MacLachlan as Hank MacLean, Moisés Arias as Norm MacLean, and Frances Turner as Barb Howard. 

Prime Video released a series of images teasing the sophomore season. Lucy and the Ghoul are conversing in the wasteland as they head to New Vegas. The duo is looking for Lucy’s father, who may hold the answers to the whereabouts of the Ghoul’s family.

Speaking of the Ghoul, there are two photos of the Ghoul as Cooper Howard before the war, including one where he converses with his wife, Barb.

Elsewhere, Maximus is still with the Brotherhood of Steel, and Norm remains in the Vault.

Based on the video game franchise of the same name, Fallout is the story of “haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have.” Set 200 years after the apocalypse, humanity was forced to live underground in fallout shelters, but on the surface, a “highly violent universe” is waiting for them. 

Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner are executive producers, creators, and showrunners on Fallout. Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy are executive producers. Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films produce Fallout in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.

Fallout season 1 premiered in April 2024 to positive reviews and became the second most-watched title in Prime Video history, behind The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Fallout season 2 premieres in December on Prime Video.

YouTube is reworking the Home page with Custom Feeds and quicker access to Subscriptions
Saved Custom Feeds are rolling out as YouTube also experiments with a redesigned Home navigation bar.

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.

EXCLUSIVE: How Klara and the Sun warns of a future where humans compete with AI
What Does Klara and the Sun Say About the Dangers of AI?
Jenna Ortega stars in Klara and the Sun.

Artificial intelligence has already changed people's lives, both at home and at work, but what happens when people start treating AI as a replacement for their loved ones? Filmmaker Taika Waititi explores this terrifying idea with his new sci-fi movie, Klara and the Sun. Based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, the film follows Klara, a solar-powered "Artificial Friend" played by Jenna Ortega, as she bonds with Josie, a sick teenager.

Klara and the Sun paints an unusual, unsettling portrait of a world with AI. Essentially The Wizard of Oz meets Blade Runner, Waititi's dystopian film is filled with his brand of vibrant visuals and quirky humor. But beneath all that, the film tells a deeper, more serious story about AI and whether it can cause the downfall of society and human connection.

Spotify has kicked 50 million AI slop tracks out of your recommendations
Spotify is cleaning up your music recommendations, and AI-generated spam is finally getting the boot.

Finding new music on Spotify is one of those little joys that can turn an ordinary day around. You play a song you love, let the recommendations take over, and occasionally stumble upon an artist you wish you’d discovered sooner. But with AI making it ridiculously easy to produce music in bulk, not everything landing in your recommendations deserves a listen.

Spotify knows this is becoming a problem, and it’s acting on it. The streaming giant has revealed it filtered more than 50 million spammy, low-quality tracks from its recommendations this year. That’s on top of another 75 million tracks it has completely removed from the platform for repeatedly or seriously breaking its rules. And Spotify isn’t stopping there — it wants to make sure actual artists aren’t buried under an endless stream of AI-generated content.
