Fallout Season 2 Star Teases 'A Whole 'Nother Level' For Where The Story Goes

One of the Fallout stars teases that Season 2 is a lot better than the first season.

Moten was present at Comic Con Liverpool. At the event, he was asked about his projects, including Fallout. Many were interested in when it would end and if the showrunners had already established its finale. According to him, they would take their time in developing the characters. However, when he joined the project, Moten said he was told there would be around five to six seasons. He said (via IGN):

When I signed on to do the series, we would have a starting point and they gave me the endpoint. And that endpoint hasn’t changed. But it is Season 5, 6 type of endpoint.

The Fallout TV series is produced by Amazon Studios, Kilter Films, Bethesda Game Studios, and Bethesda Softworks. The only confirmed season for Fallout is Season 2, but there are rumors that its third season has been greenlit. Industry insider Jeff Sneider talked about the show in one episode of The Hot Mic. He cited an insider who claimed that Kilter Films’ Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan were already occupied doing Season 3, while production for Season 2 was ongoing. Well, filming for its second season just wrapped up, so they could now focus on its third season. Goggins has been teasing about the anticipated Season 2 in his interviews, consistently saying that it’s “a whole ‘nother level.” Goggins said he was a huge fan of Season 1, but the upcoming season was much better.

Considering the success of Fallout Season 1, there’s no doubt that fans would love to see the show return for more seasons. However, several factors must be considered for the series to last for up to six seasons. For instance, it must maintain high viewership, which is the most critical factor. Amazon closely monitors how many people watch the show, how long they watch, and how many finish the entire season. If it trends globally and drives more subscriptions while streaming, it will likely be renewed for more seasons. So, yes, it must sustain the metrics and quality across seasons. Declining reviews could lead to cancellations, regardless of the IP strength.

Additionally, Fallout is a big-budget series, so it is costly to maintain. However, if it continues to deliver good returns through viewership, merchandise, and brand value, Amazon will likely continue to support it. So, yes, it’s possible for Fallout to last up to six seasons, so long as it maintains high engagement, creative energy, and positive reviews from critics and fans.

Fallout streams on Amazon Prime and Season 2 is expected to premiere in early 2026.
