TheFalloutshow is almost ready to start filming, according to aNew York Comic ConinterviewScreen Ranthad with a star of the show. Based on the hit video game series, the show follows dwellers from Vaults 31, 32, and 33, alongside several survivors from the surface. Season 1 focused on the Vaults, the Brotherhood of Steel, and the bounty hunters as they began to uncover the secrets of Vault-Tec. AfterFalloutseason 1 endedwith several cliffhangers, season 2 is expected to continue the show’s overall narrative by exploring more about Vault-Tec.
Previously, the only news about season 2 was in August, when it was teased that production would begin “soon”. In an interview withScreen Rantat NYCC to discuss the digital release ofDeadpool & Wolverine, Leslie Uggams offered more insight into the timeline. She explained thatthe show will officially begin filming in November. Uggams starred as Betty Pearson, the Overseer in Vault 33, who originally hailed from Vault 31, and she will likely maintain a strong presence in the production. Check out her full quote below:
Leslie Uggams:That is an amazing, amazing show. I am with the Vault People, so I didn’t get to see what the Earth people were doing. So when it came on, I was blown away. But Betty’s got some things up her sleeve. Just stay tuned.

What The Fallout Season 2 Filming Month Means For The Show
Its Returning Timeline Has Been Accelerated
The timeline is surprisingly short, given thatthe entire first season was released on August 22, 2025. Prime Video did accelerate the timeline somewhat byapprovingFalloutseason 2just eight days after season 1’s completion. Still, that left approximately half a year to complete the entire script and pre-production work for the upcoming episodes. It was even more compressed, considering that Ella Purnell (Lucy) reportedly had no preparation as of August and believed that she would be working fervently on the show in six months from that point.
Season 1 began filming on July 25, 2025, and the season was eventually released on July 06, 2025.
The quick pre-production timeline can be excused, considering that much of the setting has already been developed. The props, costumes, and sets are all constructed and ready for filming, so there are few major issues in the way. Still, there will be a significant post-production timeline that necessitates a rush to filming. Season 1 began filming on June 17, 2025, and the season was eventually released on August 15, 2025. If season 2 follows a similar track,the next season may not premiere until 2026.
Our Take On Fallout Season 2’s Production Timing
Fallout Season 2 Should Be Simpler Than Season 1
The vast majority of post-production issues will come from VFX work, but there will also be major issues with production. With so many characters inFallout’s extensive cast,there will be numerous settings and environments that need to be explored. Hank stole Maximus' armor, Lucy and the Ghoul are traveling together, Maximus is a prominent figure within the Brotherhood of Steel, and Moldaver is continuing her own efforts with her militia. Even Norm has a storyline of his own, which will need to be explored. With so much left to shoot,Falloutseason 2 should have a challenging filming process.
