How Many Seasons Will Fallout Have? 'A Billion Feels Right,' Creators Say

Ambition is not a sin — especially in the Wasteland.

We’ve been singing songs of praise for Prime Video ’s Fallout TV show non-stop lately, much like every other person we know who’s watched the series. There’s a good reason for that: Season 1 was nothing short of spectacular, and fans are already eager to jump right into the next series — which, thankfully, shouldn’t take long to be made, according to the showrunners.

But since Season 2 was greenlit like two days after S1 premiere, it’s the bigger picture everyone’s curious about: just how many Fallout seasons are planned?

Fallout Creators Are Clueless But Ambitious

Questions about future plans are the bane of any successful new series’ showrunners. Fallout’s Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner didn’t get to avoid that fate, either: they are bombarded with questions, especially the ones about the total number of seasons they’re planning. They don’t like those questions.

Recently, the showrunners sat down with The Wrap — and of course, at the end of the interview, they were asked about seasons. Wagner bluntly said they “don’t know sh*t” as they haven’t yet planned that far, and Robertson-Dworet had a funnier but just as precise reply.

“We’ve been saying a billion [seasons]. It feels right,” she said.

Fallout TV Show Doesn’t Have to End, Really

Here’s the deal with the Fallout universe: it’s massive. It’s massive, and it has many more cool gunslingers other than the Ghoul, countless Vault Dweller other than Lucy and Norman MacLean, and a whole lot of guys from post-apocalyptic factions like Maximus. Realistically, the TV show doesn’t even need to end with their story.

The most optimal approach for the showrunners would be to focus entirely on the current story and finish it exactly when it needs to end. Then, if they have other ideas, they can simply introduce new characters, new time periods, new conflicts… The Fallout universe allows all of that, and it would be wasteful not to make use of it.

If Prime Video goes with such an approach and doesn’t change the current team — the folks who are doing a marvelous job at respecting the source material and adapting it in a compelling way — we’re very much down for a billion more seasons.
