In recent years, many successful sci-fi series have premiered on platforms like Netflix, Apple TV, and Prime Video. However, following the conclusion of one of the biggest sci-fi productions, Stranger Things, last year, shows like Pluribus and Severance on Apple TV seem poised to maintain their audience for a long time. Prime Video, on the other hand, has achieved great success with Fallout, one of the most-watched sci-fi series in recent years. The first two seasons garnered over 100 million views combined, and Prime Video has renewed the series for a third season. Lead actor Walton Goggins announced this week on his personal Instagram account that filming for Season 3 has begun.
Fallout is based on the popular game series produced by Bethesda. Bethesda is also the producer of the Elder Scrolls series and the recently notable sci-fi adventure Starfield. In adapting Fallout, Prime Video and the show's creators decided that the best way to tell a new story would be to fit it into the existing narrative universe. This approach aims to provide viewers with a fresh experience by avoiding a direct adaptation of the games.
Ahead of Season 3, Goblin Gaming will release a new version of the beloved Fallout: Factions board game, Fallout: Battle for Boston, later this month. This new edition will launch on July 31, with the starting price reduced from $114 to $91. Even for fans who aren't fond of board game experiences, there are plenty of exciting content available in the Fallout universe.
Bethesda has also confirmed that Fallout 5 is in development. This news stands out as an exciting development for Fallout fans and raises expectations regarding the series' future projects.
