The credits have barely rolled, and we’re already desperate for Fallout season 3.
Amazon Prime Video clearly struck gold with this video game adaptation. Fallout season 2 was a smash hit, drawing in even more viewers to the thrilling post-apocalyptic world — though, let’s be honest, the true fans have been here since Day 1.
The tricky part about watching a show as good as Fallout? The wait for the next season. Never mind the new season of The Apprentice or Ryan Murphy’s The Beauty lurking on our watchlist — we need answers: when is Fallout season 3 coming?
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here’s everything we know so far about season 3 of Fallout, updated as news emerges from across the wasteland. Spoilers for season 2 ahead!

When will Fallout season 3 be released?
For now, we’re largely working with speculation, as Amazon Prime has yet to confirm a release date for Fallout season 3. It looks like it could be a while before we return to the wasteland.
The series was given an early renewal back in May 2025, but as of December that year, scripts were still being developed, according to Bethesda’s Todd Howard.
In an interview with IGN, executive producer Jonathan Nolan revealed that the team is hoping to begin filming in summer 2026, with ProductionList later reporting a targeted start date of 1 May.
“I’m excited that, though the scope of the show feels undiminished season on season… our incredibly talented cast and crew were able to work quickly enough to get back on the air in a reasonable amount of time,” Nolan said.
“I think what’s happened with television in terms of taking longer and longer between seasons is an unfortunate trend. You don’t want the show to lose any of its scope, so we like to be back on the air as soon as we can.”
We couldn’t agree more. But despite these good intentions, it looks like Fallout season 3 will likely take 18–24 months to reach us, suggesting a launch sometime between late 2027 and 2028.
