FALLOUT's Maximus Actor Says the Show Has a Season 5 or 6 Finish Line
Amazon’s Fallout series may have only just wrapped filming on Season 2, but it turns out the creative team already knows exactly where this wasteland journey is heading.
Actor Aaron Moten, who plays Maximus, a Brotherhood of Steel initiate with a complicated path, recently dropped some insight saying that the show’s endpoint is already locked, and we might be in it for the long haul.
Moten revealed during a panel at Comic Con Liverpool:
“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. We’ve always known that we were gonna take our time with the development of the characters.”
It’s an exciting and ambitious roadmap, especially considering how well Season 1 was received. Amazon’s adaptation of the beloved Bethesda game franchise exploded in popularity with its debut, winning over longtime fans and newcomers alike.
The post-apocalyptic world, amusing satire, and interesting character arcs all struck a chord. With Season 2 already in the can, it seems like Amazon is betting big on the show’s momentum.
That said, five or six seasons is a tall order in today’s streaming world. A lot will ride on whether the audience sticks around and whether Amazon keeps seeing Fallout as a core part of its original programming slate. But based on the energy around the series, it certainly feels like it’s got the juice to go the distance.
As for what’s next, Season 2 will take us to New Vegas. The show is heading straight into one of the most iconic locations in Fallout lore. Set leaks have already shown glimpses of the glittering Lucky 38 casino. We also know Mr. House is in the mix, though his exact role remains a mystery.
Season 2 currently doesn’t have a premiere date, but it's expected to drop in the first half of 2026. Production was delayed due to the LA fires, but filming has officially wrapped. Walton Goggins even marked the occasion by peeling off his Ghoul prosthetics.
Goggins also shared his excitement for what’s coming next, saying:
“I can tell you, being a big fan of the first season, that I'm so proud of – I'm not talking about my work, but all of the work that so many artists kind of put into that, like all the love that went into that.
“This is a whole ‘nother level. I wasn't prepared for where the story was gonna go and, uh, and how fully fleshed out on the other side of introducing this world to people.
“Now it is so lived in as if it's been there for two hundred years. It's really quite something. I can’t wait for people to see it.”
If the creative team can keep this energy going, and the wasteland continues to expand in bold and unexpected ways, Fallout might just have what it takes to see its long-term vision come to life.
Are you ready to go all the way to the end of the road with Maximus, Lucy, The Ghoul, and this irradiated world of secrets?
