- Season one of Amazon's "Fallout" ended on a cliffhanger, teasing an iconic location from the games.
- Aaron Moten, who plays Maximus, said season two should be released in 2025.
- Here's what to know about the future of "Fallout."
"Fallout" brings the postapocalyptic world of the award-winning video games to life, and Amazon renewed the show for a second season just nine days after it was released.
It takes place 200 years after a nuclear war decimated the US and revolves around Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell), who was raised in an underground bunker that protected her ancestors from radiation.
When her father, Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan), is kidnapped by invaders from the outside world, Lucy leaves the safety of the shelter to try to save him.
In the last five years, Amazon has found success by adapting well-known properties into TV shows, including "The Boys," "Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power," "Reacher," "Good Omens," and "Invincible."
But "Fallout" marks the first time the company has adapted a video game into a live-action series, and judging by the hugely positive critical reaction, the gamble has paid off.
Here's what to know about "Fallout" season two.
Aaron Moten said "Fallout" season 2 should be released in 2025.

Amazon is yet to confirm a release date for "Fallout" season two.
But Aaron Moten, who plays the Brotherhood of Steel knight, Maximus, suggested the show will return sooner than fans might expect.
"We don't have a release date that I could give out, but I could tell you that because we worked so hard and so quickly, it should be out this year," he told Comic Con Liverpool, which ran from May 3 to 4.
Representatives for Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
On Thursday, Amazon confirmed on social media that season two had wrapped production.
Last April, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that Amazon had moved production of season two from New York to Los Angeles to receive a $25 million tax credit.
The show briefly paused production in January when the Pacific Palisades wildfire damaged Los Angeles, but filming later resumed.
In February, Walton Goggins, who plays the Ghoul/Cooper Howard in the show, told Deadline: "We're in the middle of filming it right now, we've been at it since November, and I can tell you that I thought season one was extraordinary. Personally, I was very pleased with it.
"This blows it out of the water, what these writers have done and the artisans that have come together to tell this story. It's really going to be something, I can't wait for people to see it. We're working really hard to make that happen."
'Fallout' season 2 will visit a classic location from a beloved game

The end of season one revealed that Hank is actually employed by Vault-Tec, the company that built all the Vaults. He's still working to ensure that the company is successful in the post-apocalypse world. This is a bitter pill to swallow for Lucy now that she's seen how the world was devastated by the war.
Hank leaves Lucy and Maximus (Aaron Moten) by flying away in a damaged set of power armor. But in the closing moments of the season, audiences see him stomping through the desert toward an iconic location from the games: New Vegas.
The 2010 game, "Fallout: New Vegas," takes place in and around the city, which has been rebuilt following the nuclear war. Photos and videos of the New Vegas set surfaced on X in early March. They showed key locations from the game, including The Tops Hotel and The Lucky 38 Resort.
