The news comes on the back of an impressive first season, which has seen over 100 million viewers tune in to date, making it one of the streamer’s top three launches ever. The show’s success has been attributed to its unique blend of post-apocalyptic drama and dark humour, which has resonated with audiences worldwide.

The decision to renew the show for a third season has been met with excitement from fans and industry insiders alike. According to Vernon Sanders, Amazon TV boss, "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." Sanders paid tribute to the show’s writing and production teams, as well as partners at Bethesda Games and Bethesda Softworks, for their role in bringing the show to life.
As Eurogamer notes, the show’s second season is set to premiere in December 2025, with a teaser trailer released during Amazon’s Upfront event. The trailer, which features a pre-Ghoul Walton Goggins getting pitched advertising campaigns for various products, has generated significant buzz among fans.

As Eurogamer reports, Fallout actor Aaron Moten has revealed that he expects the show to run for "five, six" seasons in total, indicating that Amazon has long-term plans for the franchise.
In a statement, Amazon confirmed that the third season of Fallout has been greenlit, with production expected to begin in the near future.
