Prime Video Sets Earlier Release Date for Fallout
Prime Video revealed that the entire first season of Fallout is now set to premiere this Wednesday, April 10 at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT.
It was previously scheduled to arrive on the streamer this Thursday prior to the release date shift.
The announcement was made by Walton Goggins, who plays The Ghoul, as he invited fans to watch the series early in a social media video.
Per the official description, Fallout is described as "the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them above."
Why is Fallout Releasing Earlier than Expected?
According to Amazon, Fallout is releasing earlier than expected because "fans demanded it". However, many are convinced that it's just the studio's way to get ahead of negative reviews.
Aside from Goggins, the cast also includes Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Kyle MacLachlan, Moises Arias, Johnny Pemberton, Dale Dickey, Michael Emerson, Leslie Uggams, and Zach Cherry.
Has Fallout Been Renewed for Season 2?
So far, the series has not been officially renewed for a second season, but a recent update suggested that a renewal is looking more likely with the possibility of relocating its production to California.
For now, fans should wait for the premiere of the series in more than 24 hours and find out whether the adaptation will be able to live up to the hype.
