Prime Video's Fallout series has proven over its first two seasons that video game adaptations can succeed when handled with care and creativity. Anticipation for the third season of the show is high, although fans will be waiting until at least 2027 to see what's in store for Lucy, The Ghoul, and Maximus. The good news is that the third season of Prime Video's Fallout TV show just hit a major milestone, according to star Walton Goggins, who confirms that filming on the show is nearing its end.
Goggins' comments, however, have also sparked speculation about just how many more seasons of Fallout we're getting, and what the show's future means for The Ghoul and Cooper Howard. On Instagram, Jake Garber, head of Fallout's prosthetic makeup department, posted a photo of Goggins in full Ghoul makeup and announced, "That's a wrap for me on Season 3 of Fallout. Time to sleep..." Garber is an Emmy-nominated prosthetics and makeup artist, and has been part of the Fallout production team for the show's run thus far.
Goggins confirmed that his part in filming season 3 of Fallout had also wrapped. In a separate post on Instagram, Goggins said — somewhat cryptically — "Just took it off for the last time," he said, presumably referring to The Ghoul's extensive prosthetics and elaborate costume. "Season 3… Gatdamn this felt good.
I wish this road or this song would never end. Gonna miss you California… til the next time." Goggins posted the message alongside video of him driving while listening to Led Zeppelin's "Ramble On." Goggins revealed in July that he'd started filming season 3, saying he was "back in the saddle." It's not clear whether Goggins' wording "Just took it off for the last time" refers only to his involvement in season 3, or whether he's done with Fallout entirely. If it's the latter, it's also unclear if season 3 will be Fallout's last or just Goggins' final bow in the post-apocalyptic television series.
Given The Ghoul/Cooper Howard's prominent role in the show thus far, it seems unlikely that Fallout would carry on without the fan-favorite actor. Amazon MGM hasn't confirmed a fourth season of Fallout yet, but in an interview last year, Aaron Moten, the actor who plays former Brotherhood of Steel soldier Maximus, spoke about a much longer run for the adaptation. But it is season 5, [season] 6 type of endpoint.
We’ve always known that we were gonna take our time with the development of the characters.” A release date for the third season of Fallout has not been announced. However, it's very likely that we will see the show return in late 2027, based on production timelines of previous seasons. Amazon renewed the hit post-apocalyptic sci-fi series for season 3 back in May 2025.
