Fallout Season 2 wrapped up), there are no official orders or confirmations for exactly six seasons of the Amazon Prime Video series.
The show has only been renewed through Season 3 (announced back in May 2025, well before Season 2 even premiered), with production ramping up fast—filming is set to start around May 2026 in Santa Clarita, California, aiming for a likely 2027 release to keep the gaps shorter than typical big-budget shows.
That said, rumors and reports about a longer run, specifically around 5–6 seasons total, have been circulating since mid-2025 and picked up steam again recently:
- The core info stems from Aaron Moten (who plays Maximus).
In interviews around May 2025 (including at Comic-Con Liverpool and others), he explained that when he signed on, the creators gave him a clear starting point and an endpoint that hasn't changed—described as a "Season 5, Season 6 type of endpoint."
He emphasized they're taking time with character development rather than rushing, and the overall arc is planned with that in mind.
- This has been echoed in various outlets (IGN, KitGuru, Comic Basics, TheGamer, etc.), framing it as the showrunners (Jonathan Nolan, Graham Wagner, Geneva Robertson-Dworet) and Amazon/Bethesda treating Fallout as a flagship, long-term franchise with a mapped-out multi-season roadmap—not a limited series.
- Recent social media buzz (Instagram, Facebook, Reddit threads from early 2026) and reposts often phrase it as "planned for around six seasons" or "up to six seasons," sometimes calling it Amazon's answer to epic sagas like Game of Thrones.
Some fans speculate it could stretch further with spin-offs or new arcs, given the vast lore, but that's pure wishful thinking.
- No one (not Amazon, not the showrunners, not Bethesda's Todd Howard) has locked in "exactly six seasons" or ordered beyond Season 3.
It's more accurate to say the creative plan envisions the main story concluding naturally around Seasons 5–6, with strong confidence from the massive success of Seasons 1 and 2.
In short: Six seasons isn't confirmed, but it's a credible, recurring rumor based on insider comments from the cast and production side.
Amazon seems all-in on making this a multi-year tentpole (early Season 3 renewal + accelerated production schedule proves that), so if viewership holds and quality stays high, Seasons 4–6 feel very plausible.
The wasteland's story is built for the long haul—plenty of factions, regions (hello, potential deeper New Vegas echoes or beyond), and character journeys left to explore.
What part of the rumors are you most hyped (or skeptical) about?
The endpoint timing, New Vegas ties in future seasons, or just hoping they don't drag it out?
