Prime Video’s global TV hit Fallout keeps going strong. Season 2, which premiered in December 2025, is set to become one of the platform’s top 4 returning series, behind Reacher and The Rings of Power.
Not only that, but Prime Video has greenlit a reality show, Fallout Shelter, based on the video game extension released in 2015. All signs point to Fallout continuing past season 2, right?
Fallout Season 3 Release Date
Right. Prime Video renewed Fallout for a third outing months ago, so fans don’t have to worry about the show reaching the finish line anytime soon.
The new episodes are rumoured to start filming in May, which means that Fallout season 3 could arrive in early 2027.

What Could Happen in Fallout Season 3?
The post-apocalyptic drama is inspired from the beloved video game franchise. The story is set after the Great War of 2077, a cataclysmic nuclear exchange that left the world in irradiated ruin.
In this desolate future, survivors live in starkly different conditions. Some sheltered in luxury underground Vaults. Others survived above ground, forging brutal lives in the wasteland.
The narrative centres on Lucy, a Vault-dweller forced to confront the real world. Things turn out to be much less glamorous than she expected. On a quest to find her father, she connects with Maximus, a soldier of the Brotherhood of Steel, and with a bounty hunter.
Without giving too much away, the first season ends with Lucy discovering a bitter truth that shatters her worldview. Season 2 expands the story by having her head toward the ruins of New Vegas, where new problems arise. There’s still one episode to go, with the finale dropping in early February.
While it’s a bit early to speculate about Fallout season 3 ahead of the last season 2 episode, it’s safe to assume that Lucy and the Ghoul may be caught in larger political crossfires. For now, we’ll have to wait and see.
