Series Fallout may have up to six seasons on Prime Video

The success of the first season of Fallout on Prime Video was not only a victory for the Bethesda franchise fans, but also an essential piece of a larger plan. According to recent statements, the live-action series could extend for up to six seasons, as long as the upcoming chapters maintain the same level of reception and viewership.

The information was shared by Aaron Moten, who plays Maximus in the adaptation, during a panel at Comic-Con Liverpool. According to the actor, when signing the contract to participate in the series, the creative team presented to him not only the initial arc but also the long-term planned narrative destination.

"When I joined the project, they showed me the starting point and the finishing point. If that hasn't changed, we will have five or six seasons of Fallout."

According to Moten, the strategy is to avoid rushing the story. The production's focus is on the consistent development of characters and settings, respecting the original universe of the games. This implies seasons with their own pace and space to explore the different elements of the franchise — including references to Vault-Tec, Brotherhood of Steel, Super Mutants, Ghouls, and the classic post-apocalyptic Wasteland.

The first season premiered in April 2024 and quickly became one of the biggest hits on Prime Video, being praised by both audiences and specialized critics. The series received acclaim for its balance between action, satire, and fidelity to the aesthetics of Bethesda Game Studios games, especially Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Although Amazon Studios has not officially confirmed the total number of seasons yet, the commercial impact of the first batch of episodes certainly strengthens the chances of continuity. Internally, the series is treated as one of the long-term bets for the streaming service — alongside productions like The Boys and The Rings of Power.

There is currently no official release date for the second season, but it is expected that filming will begin in 2025, with a possible premiere in 2026, considering the time needed for production and visual effects.

If the plan outlined by the team remains, Fallout could establish itself as another successful adaptation within the growing market of series based on video games, following the footsteps of The Last of Us from HBO and Arcane from Netflix.
