Amazon’s Fallout series is emerging from the vaults soon, and here is everything we know so far about the show!
In the Fallout universe, the United States is facing the repercussions of a nuclear war in 2077.
The war only lasted for a day but caused extensive damage that forced the people to live in makeshift settlements, struggling to survive, while mutilated creatures roamed the Earth.
The Fallout series will be a good opportunity to introduce the foundations of the universe.
It will offer viewers a look into the lives of the Vault Dwellers, how they interact with the wasteland, and why Fallout became a favorite for its global gamers.
When Does the Fallout TV Series Come Out?
All eight episodes of the Fallout series premiere on Amazon Prime Video on April 10, 2024.
The series' official release date was moved to an earlier date twice already. Originally scheduled to debut on April 12, the trailer announced that it would arrive on April 11.
However, days prior to its supposed debut date, Fallout star Walton Goggins revealed that the series is set for an even earlier release on April 10 at 6 PM PT / 9 PM EST.
What Did We Learn From the Fallout Trailer?
Released on March 7 this year, Prime Video's official Fallout trailer features a sneak peek at what to expect from the adapted series.
The trailer shows how Vault-Tec Vault introduced its safe haven for humans, where they get to reside and get protection during the post-apocalyptic timeline.
Set 200 years after the apocalypse, the Prime series bases its central story on the hit game franchise of the same name from Bethesda Game Studios.
In the TV series, vault dweller Lucy MacLean must leave Vault 33 and explore the wasteland on the surface world. The story is essentially shown in the official trailer, which you can check out above.
We also got our first looks at the main characters: Aaron Moten's Maximus, Walton Goggins' The Ghoul, Moises Arias' Norm MacLean, and more!

What are Critics Saying About the Fallout Series?
Ahead of the Prime Video release, critics have posted their sentiments on the Fallout series adaptation, most of which have been quite positive.
Paul Tassi at Forbes declared, "I am happy to report that as a game, as a fan of the series, I thought it was excellent."
According to them, the Fallout series is "extraordinarily faithful to the games while not being a straight adaptation of any one game."
Lewis White at our sister site Gfinity commented that "for fans of the games, or even just fans of the lore, Amazon’s eight-episode Fallout series is a fantastic satellite to the franchise."
"It’s Fallout through and through with hilarious dark humour, political satire, over-the-top hyperviolence and a surprising reverence for its source material."
At the time of writing, just ahead of the premiere, Fallout's TV series has a Rotten tomatoes score of 91%.
