‘Fallout' season 2 gets first trailer along with release window — and it's already been renewed for season 3
The Wasteland is returning sooner than expected. At a recent industry presentation, Amazon previewed the first 'Fallout' season 2 teaser, and while it hasn't been officially released online yet, the footage is already out in the wild. Along with the leaked teaser, Amazon confirmed a December 2025 release window, which is earlier than expected considering season 2 just wrapped filming. And in even bigger news: 'Fallout' has already been renewed for season 3. So yes, we have some juicy news to fill the void until season 2 hits the small screen, and there's actually a lot to be excited about. First teaser for 'FALLOUT' Season 2Premiering December 2025 13, 2025 Following the breakout success of its debut season, 'Fallout' quickly became one of Prime Video's flagship shows. It reportedly reached over 65 million viewers in its first 16 days. According to series star Aaron Moten (who plays Maximus), 'Fallout' is expected to run through season 5 or 6, giving the story plenty of room to grow and explore the scorched Earth in even greater detail. 'Fallout' season 2 picks up after the observatory showdown, focusing on Lucy (Ella Purnell) and The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) as they pursue Hank (Kyle MacLachlan), who fled in power armor toward New Vegas. Now, the duo are hot on his trail, determined to uncover buried secrets as they face potential new threats like factions and Deathclaws. Along with the season 2 release window and season 3 renewal news, Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, said in a statement: 'We are absolutely thrilled that our global Prime Video customers will be able to delve deeper into the wonderfully surreal and captivating world of Fallout. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have done an exceptional job bringing this beloved video game franchise to vivid life on Prime Video.' There isn't an official synopsis for season 2 yet, but we can speculate based on how season 1 ended. Lucy and The Ghoul are currently hunting down her father, who escaped in a suit of power armor after shocking revelations about his true past and Vault-Tec's involvement in the nuclear apocalypse. Hank appears to be heading toward New Vegas (a major location from the games). Meanwhile, Maximus, now a fully armored member of the Brotherhood of Steel, is likely to face conflicts between loyalty, power, and morality as the Brotherhood's agenda expands. Although many details of the story are still being kept secret, showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet confirmed that Robert House, also known as Mr. House, will have some kind of role in the series. In the game, Mr. House controls New Vegas, with his brain connected to a supercomputer that has allowed him to survive from the pre-war era into the post-apocalyptic world. The cast of 'Fallout' includes Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, and Walton Goggins, who took the stage at New York's Beacon Theater during the Prime Video upfront event to announce the premiere window for Season 2. The lineup also features Kyle MacLachlan, Moisés Arias, Frances Turner, and Macaulay Culkin, who is said to be playing a 'crazy genius-type character.' 'Fallout' is a collaboration between Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films, developed in partnership with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks. The show is led by showrunners and co-creators Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner. Executive producers include Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy of Kilter Films, along with Todd Howard representing Bethesda Game Studios and James Altman for Bethesda Softworks. Of course, we don't know anything about season 3 considering season 2 isn't even out yet, but it's possible we'll remain in New Vegas for a while considering there is a lot to explore in this new setting. For now, we know a third season is definitely on the way, and that new episodes will drop sometime in December 2025. In the meantime, stream the first season of 'Fallout' on Prime Video for a refresher, or stream the best shows like 'Fallout' while you wait for season 2.

'Fallout' star reveals Prime Video's hit post-apocalyptic series will run until season 5 or 6
With "Fallout" season 2 officially wrapped, fans have their eyes set on the irradiated horizon of what's to come for Prime Video's hit post-apocalyptic series. Now, one "Fallout" star claims this upcoming trip to New Vegas is just the beginning, which has our spurs jingle, jangle, jangling. Speaking at a recent Comic-Con panel in Liverpool, England, actor Aaron Moten said when he accepted the role of Maximus, he was told the plan was for "Fallout" to run for five to six seasons in total. "When I signed on to do the series, we would have a starting point, and they gave me the end point," he explained. "That endpoint hasn't changed, but it is season five, season six, type of endpoint. We've always known that we're going to take our time with the development of the characters." That's assuming Prime Video sticks to its initial plan, of course. For reference, the first "Fallout" season debuted in April 2024 after filming wrapped in March 2023. If season 2 follows a similar post-production schedule, we could see Maximus, Ella Purnell's Lucy, and Walton Goggins' Ghoul return to our screens just over a year from now, possibly in late spring 2026. That's just a guess, though, as an official release date has yet to be revealed. There's certainly no reason why the show couldn't run for several more seasons. The "Fallout" games have been around for decades, and the first season barely scratched the surface of all the lore the franchise has to offer. For all the terrifying mutants we got to see in season 1, there's still plenty that audiences have yet to be introduced to, like Super Mutants or the series' iconic Deathclaws. Though the latter are confirmed to show up in season 2 in what's sure to be an explosive reveal that I can't wait to see. As teased by the final scene of season 1, season 2 will venture to the high-rolling city of New Vegas, the setting of one of the most beloved games in the series (and my personal favorite). For the uninitiated, Fallout New Vegas drops you, a lowly courier, in the middle of a full-blown turf war between the major players of the Mojave Desert. Powerful factions like the NCR, a pseudo-government looking to tame the wasteland that's been around since the original Fallout, and Caesar's Legion, a brutal empire cosplaying as the Roman legion, vie for control of the Hoover Dam. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. We got a glimpse of one of the major players, the mysterious overseer of the Las Vegas strip, Mr. House (Rafi Silver), in a flashback in season 1. But season 2 stands to open the floodgates for all the shifting alliances, political intrigue, and beloved wackiness New Vegas has to offer. New Vegas also has some of the best DLC campaigns in the series. Depending on how much ground the showrunners cover in season 2, future "Fallout" seasons could venture to the Sierra Madre, the decrepit casino from Dead Money that forced players into a demented twist on an "Ocean's Eleven" style heist. That's not just wishful thinking on my part either. The casino's owner, Fredrick Sinclair, briefly appeared in the same flashback as Mr. House in season 1, where he represented the Big MT research facility from the Old World Blues DLC. That's another prime setting for the "Fallout" show to visit, full of confidently clueless scientists turned into floating brains in jars to continue their horrific experiments after the bombs fell. I was immediately reminded of them when I saw the Brain-on-a-Roomba that Norm (Moises Arias) ran into in season 1 after discovering the secret of Vault 31. Looking beyond New Vegas, though, there's still plenty for the "Fallout" show to explore, like the sprawling Commonwealth in Fallout 4, the West Coast cities of Fallout 1 and 2, and the hills of mutant-ridden Appalachia from Fallout 76. Any one of which is packed with enough memorable characters, factions, and locales to easily fill a season. It'll likely be a while before 'Fallout' season 2 returns to our screens. While you wait, be sure to check out the best shows like 'Fallout' to fill that nuke-shaped void in the meantime.
