Actor Aaron Moten, who plays Maximus in the Fallout TV series, in a panel at Comic Con Liverpool that his character's arc will end around season five or six, suggesting the TV show will last at least that many seasons.
"[I was told] when I sat down to do the series, that we would have a starting point, and they gave me the end point," said Moten (via Reddit and VideoGamesChronicle).
"And that end point hasn’t changed, but it is Season 5, 6, for the end point. We’ve always known that we’re going to take our time with the development of our characters."
It is possible the series won't last five or six seasons as it is could be cancelled beforehand. However, the first season has a 94 percent rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 92 percent rating from viewers.
The second season wrapped up production last week and has entered post-production.

This makes me moister than a cloyster.
The biggest hope is that they don't cancel the series on a cliff hanger like so many others, it ruins the experience and the desire to grab the Boxset when it releases.
First Season was fire.... I'm all for this.
I'm 100% on board with more Fallout... Season 1 had no business being as good as it was lol
With that said, I hope they already have an ending in mind and don't just "wing it" for 5+ Seasons
Always hate when a good show ends and it feels the ending wasn't planned.

been great so far, keep it up and i will keep watching
Well, since it's looking like each season will take more than a year to make, maybe, just maybe, Xbox will manage to get a new mainline Fallout game out in time to get some co-marketing affect alongside the show, but alot depends on just how much longer TES 6 takes, and rather or not Xbox is willing to let a studio other than Bethesda make one, or is willing to build Bethesda into a studio capable of developing multiple games at once (instead of doing them one at a time with Todd Howard directing them all). At the very least they should be able to release Fallout 3 Remaster alongside a season of the show, considering it was leaked to be in development at the same time Oblivion Remaster was, and Oblivion Remaster turned out to be real.
Remaster of Fallout 3 and New Vegas inbound? At-least that would get hand-balled to another developer like they did with Oblivion... So it won't tie up Bethesda.
Fallout 3 Remaster seems likely to be in development, as it was on the Bethesda roadmap that leaked out from the FTC lawsuit against the Activision acquisition. There were also reports last year when the Fallout show released and was a massive success, that Xbox leadership held a meeting with Bethesda about the future of the game series, and that in those meetings Xbox discussed a strong desire to get Fallout games released in time to have co-marketing impact alongside the show, sooner than a Bethesda developed Fallout 5 that won't start full development until after TES 6 releases. Supposedly during the meeting multiple options were discussed to get new games out in the series before the show ends, including remasters, letting other studios develop non-numbered AAA games in the series (like New Vegas), and expanding Bethesda to where the have multiple teams with multiple directors so that they can start properly developing Fallout 5 sooner than after TES 6 releases.
