Prime Video subscribers have not been starved for content this year, especially in the sci-fi/superhero department, where the streamer has delivered several blockbuster releases at the halfway point of 2026. The first show that comes to mind is The Boys, which finally wrapped up after five full seasons, but fans are still at odds over whether the show was given the ending it deserves — Season 5 is the lowest-rated season of the series by a mile. Prime Video’s animated superhero series led by Steven Yeun and J.K. Simmons, Invincible, is firing on all cylinders right now following its Season 4 premiere earlier this year. Prime Video has not only confirmed that Season 5 will be released before the end of 2027, but also that the show will continue at least into Season 6.
Prime Video’s sci-fi crown jewel, at least since its premiere in 2024, has been Fallout, the series adapted from the popular video game franchise developed by Bethesda. All episodes of Fallout Season 1 were dropped as a binge back in 2024, but the demand for the show was clear, and Prime Video renewed it for Season 2 before shifting its release model to weekly for its sophomore outing. There was such little doubt that Fallout Season 2 would be a smash hit that the show was picked up for Season 3 months before the Season 2 premiere, and the next batch of episodes just received the update fans have been waiting for. During a recent interview with EW, Fallout executive producer Todd Howard officially confirmed that production on Season 3 “begins soon,” but this isn’t that surprising considering the casting additions announced in the last few weeks.
Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
💊The Matrix
🔥Mad Max
🌧️Blade Runner
🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.
04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.
08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.
Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.
Who Stars In ‘Fallout’ Season 3?
The first big casting for Fallout Season 3 announced in the last few weeks was Aaron Paul, the Emmy-winning star best known for his role in Breaking Bad. Paul also worked with the executive producers of Fallout on his HBO Max sci-fi series, Westworld, so this will be a reunion for him. Just last week, another round of Fallout Season 3 cast members was announced, and the biggest name among the bunch was Manny Jacinto. Before featuring in the Freaky Friday legacy sequel, Jacinto played Qimir/The Stranger in the Star Wars Disney Plus series, The Acolyte.
Check out the first two seasons of Fallout on Prime Video and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 3.
