Will There Be a Season 3 of Fallout?
Yes, Fallout has officially been renewed for Season 3 on Amazon Prime Video, and the renewal is already locked in.
The entertainment news account DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) shared on X that Fallout has been renewed for a third season at Prime Video, with Season 2 scheduled to premiere this December.
Amazon confirmed the third season months before Season 2 even premiered, which shows a high level of confidence in how well the series is performing.
For anyone who watched Season 1 explode in popularity, this early renewal feels pretty natural Prime Video clearly sees Fallout as a long-term franchise, not a one-and-done experiment.
Has Amazon Confirmed the Season 3 Renewal?
the Season 3 renewal is official and public, not just rumor. Amazon announced Fallout Season 3 during its annual upfront presentation in New York, confirming that the show would continue beyond Season 2.
The announcement came alongside a holiday 2025 premiere window for Season 2, making it clear Prime Video is treating Fallout as one of its flagship genre titles.
When is Filming Expected to Begin?
Season 3 is expected to start production in summer 2026, with the creative team openly saying they want to get cameras rolling as soon as possible after Season 2 arrives.
Executive producer Jonathan Nolan mentioned the goal is to begin shooting next summer and return “on the air in a reasonable amount of time,” which basically means Amazon does not want another huge gap between seasons.
Filming will again be centered around major US locations like Los Angeles and other desert-style regions that can stand in for the wasteland, although exact Season 3 locations have not been fully detailed yet.
According to a recent post on X from Fallout News (@FO4News), Amazon’s @falloutonprime Season 3 is set to begin filming on May 1 in Santa Clarita, California, with Frederick E.O. Toye reportedly directing on the season.
Will the Main Cast Return in Fallout Season 3?
Most of the core cast is expected to be back for Fallout Season 3, assuming their characters survive Season 2’s story. That likely includes:
-
Ella Purnell as vault dweller Lucy MacLean
-
Aaron Moten as Brotherhood squire Maximus
-
Walton Goggins as the Ghoul / Cooper Howard
These three sit at the center of the show’s emotional and lore-heavy threads, and Amazon continues to highlight them in marketing and press for ongoing seasons.
Key supporting characters tied to the Brotherhood, NCR remnants, and New Vegas storylines are also likely to reappear or evolve, depending on how Season 2’s conflicts land.
How Season 2’s Ending Sets Up Season 3
Season 2 is designed to push the story deeper into the Mojave and toward New Vegas, laying natural groundwork for Season 3 rather than wrapping everything up neatly.
Ongoing threads around Lucy and the Ghoul’s journey, the Brotherhood’s internal pressure, and the shifting power balance around Las Vegas all leave room for a bigger, more dangerous wasteland conflict in the following season.
Even mid-season episodes in Season 2 are already pointing toward convergence moments multiple factions, one city, and several competing agendas which is exactly the kind of setup that carries cleanly into a new chapter.
About the Fallout Series
Fallout is a post‑apocalyptic drama based on Bethesda’s long-running video game franchise, mixing dark humor, moral dilemmas, and very messy nuclear consequences.
The show is set roughly 200 years after nuclear war, following people who grew up safe in underground vaults and those who had to survive in the ruins above, forcing both worlds to collide.
With Season 1 becoming one of Prime Video’s top-performing series and Season 2 locked for December 2025, Season 3 is positioned as part of a larger, ongoing universe rather than a quick spin-off.
