If you’ve been captivated by the atmosphere of wastelands, survival, and human drama in Fallout but can’t bear to wait until 2026 for the second season, we’ve got three alternatives for you. These shows might not be as obvious as Silo or The Walking Dead, but they deliver that same mix of tension, adventure, and the haunting beauty of a post-catastrophe world.
Knightfall — Castles Instead of Nuclear Wastelands
What comes to mind when you think of a post-apocalypse? The destruction of the old world and the struggle to survive. Knightfall captures that spirit of transformation, but in a historical context. Set in the 14th century, it follows the decline of the Knights Templar.
The protagonist, Sir Landry, fights desperately to save the order and its relics while facing betrayal, intrigue, and a crisis of faith. The atmosphere of despair and the collapse of old structures echo Fallout, only with medieval castles instead of barren wastelands.
Into the Badlands — For Those Missing a Touch of Mad Max
This series takes you to a ruined future where civilization has collapsed, and power is concentrated in the hands of barons controlling the remaining resources. The protagonist, Sunny, a martial arts master and former assassin, embarks on a journey to find meaning in a world ruled by violence and chaos.
The show captivates with its post-apocalyptic vibe, spectacular fight scenes, and compelling characters.
Tribes of Europa — Twists Over Explosive Action
This German series from the creators of Dark transports you to 2074. Following a global catastrophe, technology has vanished, and humanity has split into warring tribes. The story centers on three siblings who become entangled in a struggle for survival and control over a mysterious artifact.
The show is packed with unexpected twists (as you’d expect from the makers of Dark) and visually stunning scenes of a shattered world.
