There’s more Fallout on the horizon–Amazon has just announced that the live-action TV adaptation has been renewed for a third season. Season 2 officially wrapped production just last week, and is still over six months out from its scheduled premiere in December.
Actor Aaron Moten, who plays Maximus in the show, recently revealed the series could go for five or six seasons. Shortly after, Variety reported that a third season has been officially confirmed by Prime Video. “Together with our amazing partners at Bethesda Games and Bethesda Softworks, we are delighted to announce a third season of Fallout, well ahead of the much-anticipated debut of Season Two,” said global head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, Vernon Sanders.
The early renewal shows that Prime Video has a lot of faith in the video game adaptation, and for good reason. The first season of Fallout was critically well-received and beloved by audiences, and has since become one of Prime Video’s top three most successful titles.

Shirking the trend of terrible video game adaptations, Fallout was a hit with fans of the games while also being approachable for newcomers to the franchise. The TV show’s success even saw a wave of players picking up Fallout games, with multiple games in the series shooting up the Steam charts in the weeks following the show’s premiere.
The second season of Fallout “will pick up in the aftermath of Season 1’s epic finale and take audiences along for a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas,” Prime Video has teased.
The second season will see the return of the main cast, including Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, Aaron Moten, Kyle MacLachlan, and Sarita Choudhury, as well as some new characters–including one who will be played by beloved former child star Macaulay Culkin.
