Originally set to premiere on April 12, Amazon previously announced that its Prime Video Fallout series had been moved up to go live on April 11. Now, the show’s release has been moved up by another day. It’s been announced that all eight episodes of the first season of Fallout will premiere on Prime Video on April 10 at 6 PM PT.
The Fallout show is set in the post-nuclear remains of Los Angeles, and focuses on young Vault Dweller Lucy (played by Ella Purnell), who steps out of her Vault for the first time into the harsh, brutal wasteland outside. The show’s main cast also includes Aaron Moten as Maximus, a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, and Walton Goggins as The Ghoul, a mutant bounty hunter who has been alive since the world-ending Great War broke out over two centuries ago.
Bethesda Game Studios’ Todd Howard, who serves as an executive producer on the show, has confirmed that the series is part of Fallout canon, and will also include Vault Boy origin story. Meanwhile, executive producer Jonathan Nolan has described the series as being “almost like Fallout 5“– though interestingly enough, it had to exclude certain elements that would have clashed with the actual Fallout 5.
Recent reports have indicated that Amazon is already gearing up for the show’s second season, with filming having shifted to California.
