Get ready for more Wasteland adventures because Prime Video’s Fallout has already been renewed for season 3. The news arrives months before the show’s December season 2 premiere, which is set to explore New Vegas.
Prime Video said in a press release on Monday, that season 2 of Fallout “will pick up in the aftermath of Season One’s epic finale and take audiences along for a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas.” So, to all the Fallout: New Vegas purists out there — worry not, Prime Video sees you.
As for season 3, no further details have been shared regarding where the story will take viewers or what characters from the video game universe will make their debut.
While we wait for season 2 and pray that season 3 maintains the series’ high bar, there appear to be plans to keep this series going well beyond that. During an interview at Comic Con Liverpool, Aaron Moten, the actor who plays former Brotherhood of Steel soldier Maximus, opened up about where Lucy and friends could take us.
“When I signed on to do the series, we would have a starting point and they gave me the endpoint,” Moten said. “And that endpoint hasn’t changed. But it is season 5, [season] 6 type of endpoint. We’ve always known that we were gonna take our time with the development of the characters.”
Now, let’s be real, Fallout has to nail seasons 2 and 3 before we can even think about seasons 5 or 6. And while season 1 was met with critical acclaim and received multiple Emmy nominations, there could be a timeline where the show goes completely off the rails. Nonetheless, it’s promising to see that producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet, and Amazon MGM Studios have a plan with a clear end goal in mind.
Fallout debuted on Prime Video in April 2024. The live-action adaption of the popular, post-apocalyptic video game franchise introduces fans to a new Vault Dweller named Lucy MacLean. The series follows Lucy as she embarks on a journey through the Wasteland, a new world ravaged by war and hubris, as she attempts to find her father Hank.
Season 1 ended on an Easter egg cliffhanger; the final shot showed off the skyline of the iconic New Vegas settlement. As the camera pans out, viewers are treated to a shot of the Mojave Desert and a skull belonging to one of our best friends from the Fallout franchise: the Deathclaw. Yeah, season 2 is gearing up to be something special.
Fallout season 2 is set to premiere in December 2025. Fallout season 1 is available now, streaming only on Prime Video.
