Fallout TV Series: A Post-Apocalyptic Adventure on Prime Video, Ready for Season Three?

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - The Fallout television series captivated millions of viewers with its post-apocalyptic visuals and immersive storyline.

Developed by Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet for Amazon Prime Video, the drama is based on the popular role-playing video game franchise of the same name.

The series successfully transported fans and new viewers into a shattered yet intriguing world, featuring an epic adventure set in a post-nuclear American wasteland.

The first season of Fallout, which premiered on April 10, 2024, introduced key characters like Lucy, Maximus, and The Ghoul, as they explored the dangerous remains of Los Angeles.

The success of the first season prompted Amazon to quickly renew the series for a second season, which premiered on December 16, 2025.

Now, fans can prepare for the confirmed third season, expands the lore with an original narrative set in the farthest future in the Fallout franchise, the year 2296.

Enthusiasm for the Fallout series is so high that Amazon renewed the series for a third season in May 2025, even before the second season premiered.

Writing for the third season was already underway when the second season premiered.

Executive producer Jonathan Nolan stated their goal was to keep the gap between seasons as short as possible, with the hope of filming beginning in the summer of 2026.

Todd Howard, director of Bethesda Game Studios and executive producer of the series, confirmed close collaboration on writing Season 3 to ensure the TV series and games continue to complement each other.

Amazon hasn't confirmed a release date for Fallout's third season, but filming is scheduled to begin in May of this year.

Considering the gap between Season 1 (April 2024) and Season 2 (December 2025) was about 1 year and 8 months, if writing for Season 3 goes smoothly, the estimated release could be around March 2027.

Speaking to IGN in December 2025, producer Jonathan Nolan expressed a desire to speed up production on the show between seasons.

“With regards to production, we’re hoping to be shooting again next summer,” Nolan said.

Following the massive success of the first season, Amazon Prime Video renewed the Fallout series for a second season on April 18, 2024.

This second season premiered on December 16, 2025, a day earlier than originally scheduled, with subsequent episodes released weekly until February 4, 2026.

Filming for Season 2 began in November 2024 in Los Angeles, under the codename "Dakota," and concluded on May 7, 2025.

Lucy and Cooper travel to New Vegas to discover the truth about Vault-Tec, Cooper's family, and Lucy's father, while Maximus confronts internal corruption within the Brotherhood of Steel.

The main cast includes Ella Purnell (Lucy), Aaron Moten (Maximus), and Walton Goggins (The Ghoul), along with new additions like Justin Theroux as Robert House and Macaulay Culkin in a recurring role.

The second season received overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Metacritic gave it a score of 73 out of 100 based on 22 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews."

Rotten Tomatoes lists 97% of critics as positive, praising the "successful expansion of the post-apocalyptic world" and the "sumptuous visuals and captivating performances."

The world of Fallout is set in an alternate timeline that deviates from our own history, circa the 1950s.

Advances in nuclear technology following World War II created a retro-futuristic society with a 1950s aesthetic that persisted into the 21st century.

However, this era of progress ended tragically on Saturday, October 23, 2077, when nuclear bombs were dropped during what became known as "The Great War" between the United States and China, destroying civilization.

Many survivors took refuge in underground bunkers called Vaults, unaware that most of them were designed for sociological and psychological experiments by Vault-Tec and other American corporations.

The series is set over 200 years after the apocalypse, in 2296, making it the furthest forward in time in the Fallout franchise.

The first season follows Lucy, a resident of Vault 33 who bravely leaves her home to search for her kidnapped father in the dangerous Los Angeles desert.

Along the way, she encounters Maximus of the Brotherhood of Steel and Cooper Howard, a ghoul bounty hunter, each with a hidden agenda.
