Amazon has yet to release a public trailer for its highly anticipated Fallout series, but at least we now know when it will appear on our television screens. The streaming giant has announced that Fallout – a live-action adaptation of Bethesda’s popular RPG video game series – will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on April 12, 2024.
The announcement was made on October 23rd, also known to Fallout fans as “Fallout Day” – the date in the game that marks the start of World War I, which turns the world into an irradiated nuclear wasteland. Bethesda executive producer and game director Todd Howard is executive producing the series, which stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets), Walton Goggins (The Hateful Eight), Aaron Moten (Emancipation), Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island) and Kyle MacLachlan ( Twin Peaks) and Sarita Choudhury (Homeland).
In addition to the premiere announcement itself (which, amusingly, was presented as an interactive Pip-Boy interface graphic), Amazon said in a press release that the show will be an original story set in a future, post-apocalyptic version of Los Angeles and is considered a canonical one Addition to the existing game franchise. We currently don’t know how many episodes the series will have and what the release schedule will be after the premiere.
