'Fallout' Season Two Will Blast Into Your Streaming Queue in December 2025 — and Season Three Is Also on the Way
If you didn't get enough of a Walton Goggins fix in 'The White Lotus', he'll be back as The Ghoul in this video-game adaptation before the year is out.
This is a blast: before its second season even arrives, Fallout has already been renewed for a third. Prime Video has announced not only that the hit video game-to-television adaptation will return in December 2025, but that more is on the way after that. That's what happens when a series becomes one of the platform's top-three most-watched shows ever, notching up more than 100-million viewers globally.
It was true when Fallout was locked in for season two, and it remains the case now: bring a massively beloved video game to TV in the right way and viewers will come flocking. That worked for The Last of Us as well, which is currently streaming its second season and also has a third in the works.
While Fallout will initially take viewers back to the wasteland before 2025 is out — complete with stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets), Walton Goggins (The White Lotus) and Aaron Moten (Emancipation) returning as Lucy, The Ghoul and Maximus, respectively — there's no exact December date for season two as yet. Understandably, there's also no release date at all locked in for season three so far.
For the second season, though, viewers can look forward not only to picking up where season one's finale left off, but to venturing through the Mojave wasteland to New Vegas.
When it dropped its initial eight episodes in 2024, Fallout took its cues from the games that first debuted on computers back in 1997, with three released sequels, a fourth on the way and seven spinoffs all following. The live-action television iteration follows Lucy, a lifelong vault-dweller, who leaves her cosy underground digs to navigate the irradiated wasteland that earth has remained for two centuries after the nuclear apocalypse. Crossing her path: bounty hunter The Ghoul, who has ties to life before the devastation; and Maximus, an aspiring soldier with the Brotherhood of Steel, who don giant robotic suits.
In this nightmarish future, a hellscape filled with mutants, wild west vibes and plenty of violence awaits beyond the bunker that the optimistic Lucy, daughter of Hank (Kyle MacLachlan, Blink Twice), who oversees Vault 33, has always called home. Bringing the chaos to life is a behind-the-scenes team featuring Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, as well as Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Captain Marvel) and Graham Wagner (Silicon Valley) as writers and co-showrunners. And yes, Bethesda Game Studios has a hand in it as well.
"The holidays came a little early this year — we are thrilled to be ending the world all over again for a third season of Fallout," advised Nolan and Joy, announcing the news.
"On behalf of our brilliant cast and crew, our showrunners Geneva and Graham, and our partners at Bethesda, we're grateful to our incredible collaborators at Amazon MGM Studios and to the amazing fans as we continue our adventures in the wasteland together."
There's no sneak peek for Fallout season two yet, but you can check out the trailer for season one below:
