Fallout season 2's story will continue to expand the scope of the post-apocalyptic setting far beyond what was shown in season 1, which will include the setting of New Vegas.

At Amazon’s annual upfront presentation, Prime Video shared that Fallout has been renewed for season 3 and that season 2 will debut in December 2025. Purnell, Goggins, and Moten appeared on stage at the event to share the news of season 2's release window. The announcements of the early season 3 renewal and season 2 release window come after season 1 garnered more than 100 million views worldwide and became one of Prime Video's three most-watched titles of all time.

What This Means For Fallout

It Is A Priority For Prime Video

News of the renewal and the release window emphasize how much of a priority Fallout is for Prime Video. As one of the streamer's most-watched titles, they are eager to see it expand further, and are already confident that season 2 will perform well. That confidence includes renewing the series for season 3 well ahead of the season 2 premiere, ensuring that the show will return in 2025, and that viewers will not have to wait until 2026.

Fallout season 1's ending contained game-changing plot twists for Lucy, The Ghoul, Maximus, Hank, and the rest of the characters, along with a tease of New Vegas. The twists and the New Vegas tease were only the tip of the iceberg in of the storytelling that Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, and the rest of their creative team have in store. The open-world nature of numerous Fallout games means that they have plenty of source material to draw from in season 3 and in any future seasons as well.

It Is Great News For The Show's Future

At a time when more shows seem to be canceled rather than renewed, it is refreshing to know far in advance that Fallout is already guaranteed to continue after season 2. The release window is also great news, confirming that the wait for season 2 will be shorter than expected, as it was widely assumed that it would not release until 2026, especially with filming wrapping so recently. Fans can now look forward to more Fallout in 2025 and in future years too.
