Fallout wants to avoid the Stranger Things trap
The lengthening of delays between two seasons has become a scourge for modern series. Stranger Things, The Last of Us or even Euphoria have all seen their broadcasts spaced several years apart, to the great dismay of fans. Fallout wants to stand out. “I think the constant lengthening of delays between seasons is an unfortunate trend” – Jonathan Nolan “We don’t want the series to lose its momentum, but we really want to get back on the air as soon as possible. » – Jonathan Nolan
A season 2 ready to start
Fallout Season 2 will begin on December 17, 2025 on Amazon Prime Video. She will understand eight episodes broadcast each weekas for the first season. Filming for this second season began in November 2024, more than a year before its broadcast. Using the same schedule, season 3 could be visible in the summer of 2027… unless the team manages to speed up the pace.
The series has won over fans of the video game franchise by skilfully transposing the post-apocalyptic universe onto the small screen, notably thanks to the interpretation of Ella Purnell in the role of Lucy MacLeanbut also by the acclaimed artistic direction of Jonathan Nolan And Lisa Joyalready known for Westworld.
An ambitious but tense production
It remains to be seen whether Jonathan Nolan’s wish for acceleration will survive the logistical and union hazards that have hit Hollywood for several months. Filming will depend in particular on the availability of technical teams and casting, as well as the success of season 2, which could influence Amazon’s decisions on the future of the series.
In any case, the message is clear: Fallout wants to keep the pace and avoid making its fans wait too long. A rare strategic choice, but one that could become a standard if the bet is kept.
