FALLOUT's Maximus Actor Says the Show Has a Season 5 or 6 Finish Line — GeekTyrant
Amazon's Fallout series may have only just wrapped filming on Season 2, but it turns out the creative team already knows exactly where this wasteland journey is heading.
Actor Aaron Moten, who plays Maximus, a Brotherhood of Steel initiate with a complicated path, recently dropped some insight saying that the show's endpoint is already locked, and we might be in it for the long haul.
Moten revealed during a panel at Comic Con Liverpool:
'When I signed on to do the series, we would have a starting point and they gave me the endpoint, and that endpoint hasn't changed.
But it is Season 5, 6 type of endpoint. We've always known that we were gonna take our time with the development of the characters.'
It's an exciting and ambitious roadmap, especially considering how well Season 1 was received. Amazon's adaptation of the beloved Bethesda game franchise exploded in popularity with its debut, winning over longtime fans and newcomers alike.
The post-apocalyptic world, amusing satire, and interesting character arcs all struck a chord. With Season 2 already in the can, it seems like Amazon is betting big on the show's momentum.
That said, five or six seasons is a tall order in today's streaming world. A lot will ride on whether the audience sticks around and whether Amazon keeps seeing Fallout as a core part of its original programming slate. But based on the energy around the series, it certainly feels like it's got the juice to go the distance.
As for what's next, Season 2 will take us to New Vegas. The show is heading straight into one of the most iconic locations in Fallout lore. Set leaks have already shown glimpses of the glittering Lucky 38 casino. We also know Mr. House is in the mix, though his exact role remains a mystery.
Season 2 currently doesn't have a premiere date, but it's expected to drop in the first half of 2026. Production was delayed due to the LA fires, but filming has officially wrapped. Walton Goggins even marked the occasion by peeling off his Ghoul prosthetics.
Goggins also shared his excitement for what's coming next, saying:
'I can tell you, being a big fan of the first season, that I'm so proud of – I'm not talking about my work, but all of the work that so many artists kind of put into that, like all the love that went into that.
'This is a whole 'nother level. I wasn't prepared for where the story was gonna go and, uh, and how fully fleshed out on the other side of introducing this world to people.
'Now it is so lived in as if it's been there for two hundred years. It's really quite something. I can't wait for people to see it.'
If the creative team can keep this energy going, and the wasteland continues to expand in bold and unexpected ways, Fallout might just have what it takes to see its long-term vision come to life.
Are you ready to go all the way to the end of the road with Maximus, Lucy, The Ghoul, and this irradiated world of secrets?

Road House 2 Cast Adds MCU Star as Possible Villain
Amazon MGM Studios has officially enlisted the first key cast member, who will be joining the cast for its upcoming sequel to the 2024 action remake. This comes nearly two months after it was announced that The Gentlemen director Guy Ritchie had signed on to helm the project. Guardians of the Galaxy vet Dave Bautista has been tapped to star opposite returning lead star Jake Gyllenhaal in Road House 2. The former WWE wrestler will reportedly be playing a former fighter, just like Gyllenhaal's character. At the moment, it's unclear if he would be playing the sequel's newest antagonist or not. The first installment featured UFC champion Conor McGregor as the main villain. The casting search for the new characters is still underway. Ritchie will be directing from a screenplay written by Bad Boys: Ride or Die's Will Beall. This marks Ritchie's reunion project with Gyllenhaal, after previously working with Gyllenhaal in the 2023 action drama movie The Covenant, which received positive reviews from both critics and audiences alike. Ritchie is succeeding the first installment's director, Doug Liman, whose return was unlikely following his public criticisms of Amazon and MGM Studios over their decision to release the movie through streaming instead of giving it a wide theatrical release. The Road House remake was directed by Liman from a screenplay written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry. It received a Tomatometer rating of 60% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 205 reviews. The first movie also starred UFC star Conor McGregor, The Suicide Squad breakout Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen (Game Night), Gbemisola Ikumelo (The Last Tree), Lukas Gage (The White Lotus), Hannah Love Lanier (A Black Lady Sketch Show), Travis Van Winkle (Accepted), B.K. Cannon (Switched at Birth), Arturo Castro (Broad City), Dominique Columbus (Ray Donovan), Beau Knapp (Southpaw), and Bob Menery.

Disney Just Struck a Deal with Amazon. Should You Buy DIS Stock Here?
Disney (DIS) has reportedly formed a partnership with e-commerce giant and cloud services titan Amazon (AMZN) to enhance ad targeting for streaming television. Under this partnership, Amazon's Demand Side Platform (DSP) will have access to Disney's content library. Commenting on the partnership, which is expected to launch in the third quarter of this year, Matt Barnes, vice president of programmatic sales at Disney Advertising, sounded optimistic, 'By building a direct path connecting Amazon's commerce insights to the full scale of Disney's streaming ecosystem, we're enabling greater accessibility to inventory and audience signals that translate into meaningful results for advertisers leveraging Amazon DSP.' Dear Tesla Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for June 30 3 ETFs with Dividend Yields of 12% or Higher for Your Income Portfolio This Options Tool Can Show You How to Trade Tesla Stock Ahead of Robotaxi Day Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Now, although this is a positive development and makes the case for owning Disney stock even stronger, there are many more compelling reasons to own the 'House of the Mouse.' One of the most recognized global entertainment conglomerates, Disney's operations span across media, TV & cable networks, streaming platforms, and experiences. Disney owns vastly popular intellectual property such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mickey Mouse, and Star Wars, among others. Commanding a market cap of $211.9 billion, DIS stock is up about 5.6% on a YTD basis and 15.5% over the past year. While the stock currently offers a dividend yield of 0.85%, Disney's payout ratio of just 15.8% leaves enough room for growth. Disney continues to demonstrate meaningful operational momentum under CEO Bob Iger, with recent results pointing to a sustained recovery. Since Iger resumed his role, the entertainment giant has posted compound annual growth rates of 7.07% in revenue and 43.76% in earnings, an indication that the restructuring efforts are beginning to deliver. Notably, in the second quarter of its fiscal 2025, Disney reported a top-line beat with revenue reaching $23.6 billion, up 6.8% from the year-ago period. The company also returned to profitability, swinging from a loss of $0.01 per share last year to earnings of $1.81 per share this quarter, comfortably surpassing analyst expectations. Cash flow metrics came in strong. Operating cash flow surged to $6.8 billion, up from $3.7 billion in the same quarter last year, while free cash flow rose to $4.9 billion from $2.4 billion. Overall, Disney's liquidity position remained solid as the company closed the quarter with a cash balance of $5.95 billion. Looking ahead, analyst consensus points to forward revenue growth of 4.1% and earnings growth of 16%, both of which outpace the sector median estimates of 3.24% and 11.33%. With operational metrics trending higher and renewed investor confidence, Disney appears to be regaining its footing in the post-pandemic media landscape. In this recent piece, I analyzed how Disney has opted for a two-pronged strategy to be on a sustainable growth path in the coming years. Headlined by its expansion in the physical realm, Disney is also making strategic moves in the digital space to streamline its offerings, along with undertaking new initiatives to develop new content. Meanwhile, Disney has also agreed to take full control of the streaming platform Hulu by paying Comcast (CMCSA) an additional $439 million. In Q2, total paid subscribers at Hulu were at 54.7 million, an increase of 9% from the previous year. Average monthly revenue per paid subscriber also increased slightly in the same period to $112.30, with popular shows like The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, and The Handmaid's Tale grabbing eyeballs and driving growth. Further strengthening Disney's overall performance, the theatrical distribution segment recently received a significant boost from the unexpected box office success of Lilo & Stitch. Encouragingly, even prior to this release, the business had already shown signs of momentum. In addition, Disney is setting the stage for another potential revenue catalyst with the planned rollout of a dedicated ESPN streaming platform. This new service would consolidate content from the traditional ESPN television channel, its existing subscription-based ESPN+ offering, and possibly include user-generated videos, creating a hybrid model somewhat akin to YouTube. Given ESPN+ already boasts more than 25 million subscribers, this expanded platform could generate substantial new revenue streams. Beyond subscriptions, additional upside could come from advertising, collaborations with sports betting operators, and other ancillary monetization channels. Altogether, Disney's approach, marked by thoughtful investments, adaptive pricing, and forward-looking leadership, places the company in a strong position to continue driving long-term shareholder value. Overall, analysts have attributed a rating of 'Strong Buy' for Disney stock with a mean target price of $126.69, which denotes upside potential of about 7.7% from current levels. Out of 29 analysts covering the stock, 21 have a 'Strong Buy' rating, two have a 'Moderate Buy' rating, and six have a 'Hold' rating.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors In both the original "Road House" and the 2024 remake, the hero had to lock horns with some serious contenders. Next time? He might be dealing with Drax the Destroyer. According to Variety, Dave Bautista of "Guardians of the Galaxy" fame has been offered a role in "Road House 2", the sequel to last year's remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal as ex-UFC fighter and hero Dalton. Read More: 'Toxic Avenger' Reboot Trailer Shows Best Look at Peter Dinklage's Toxie There's no word on the plot of "Road House 2" or what kind of role Bautista has been offered, though it seems likely it's the part of the bad guy. The "Road House" remake debuted on Amazon Prime last March and attracted close to 80 million viewers worldwide in its first eight weeks. According to then-Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke, it was Amazon's "most-watched produced film debut ever on a worldwide basis." Dave Bautista attends Amazon's Upfront 2025 Presentation at Beacon Theatre on May 12, 2025 in New York City. Dave Bautista attends Amazon's Upfront 2025 Presentation at Beacon Theatre on May 12, 2025 in New York Amazon While "Road House" was directed by Doug Liman, Guy Ritchie has been tapped to helm the sequel. The change in director likely has something to do with Liman's frustration over "Road House" premiering on a streaming service rather than in a theater, something he expressed in interviews. "Road House 2" will be Gyllenhaal's third collaboration with Ritchie. Gyllenhaal will star in the upcoming action thriller "In the Grey" and has already starred in 2023's "The Covenant". Will Beall is writing the script for "Road House 2". Producers include Gyllenhaal, Josh McLaughlin, and Atlas Entertainment's Charles Roven and Alex Gartner. Ivan Atkinson is executive producing. "Road House" is a reboot of the 1989 action classic starring Patrick Swayze. Gyllenhaal plays Elwood Dalton, an ex-UFC fighter who starts the movie living in his car and is offered a job as a bouncer. Accepting the job finds Dalton pulled into a conflict involving criminals and bikers, as well as a developer who will stop at nothing to build his resort. Coming up for Bautista is "Trap House," in which he plays an undercover DEA agent whose teenage kids are using tactics they learned from him to rob a drug cartel. There's also "The Wrecking Crew", Bautista's long-awaited buddy cop team-up with "See" and "Dune" co-star Jason Momoa.
