I don’t cover much television, but occasionally a must-see show comes down the pike that I can’t pass up. One of the latest is Prime Video’s upcoming “Fallout”, an eight episode series based on the extremely popular Fallout video game franchise from Bethesda Game Studios. Created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy (Nolan will also be directing several episodes), “Fallout” will premiere on Prime Video tomorrow, April 10th (a day earlier than its originally scheduled April 11th release).
For those unfamiliar, the Fallout series is set within a retrofuturistic wasteland. During the post-war 1950s, a nuclear war decimated our planet. Those who were able survived in massive bunkers across the United States known as vaults. The games follow dwellers around the country who leave their vaults for the first time only to encounter a dangerous, savage, and violent new world. The streaming series looks to follow the same formula as a young woman named Lucy (Ella Purnell) leaves her home in Vault 33 and ventures into the devastated and hostile remains of Los Angeles. Walton Goggins and Aaron Moten also star.
Prime Video’s promotion for the series has been off the charts. The trailers are filled to the brim with cool easter eggs and the production design seems plucked right of the games. They’ve also released a number of killer posters that feel right in tune with the franchise’s unique vibe. Check out the trailer and the posters below and tell me what you think. Are you excited for “Fallout”? Will you be checking it out? I know I will.

Thanks for sharing this! I only played Fallout once for about ten minutes but loved it (had other games I enjoyed I was playing and never got back to it). So yes I’m excited about this and adding it to my list. Thanks again!
I’ll also add I like Zach Cherry in Severance so I’m ready to see his character in this one.
Heard great things about that show.
It’s a slow burn but very interesting. I just hope the time before season 2 comes out hasn’t ruined an awesome thing.
Absolutely. It’s a franchise that’s pretty near and dear to my heart. I’m trying to temper my expectations but I’m pretty excited.
I don’t know anything about the game but I’ll give this a go.
It’s a really good mix of post-apocalyptic action and sardonic humor. I love the world and it looks like the series is really nailing it.
My wife and I have committed to giving this one a go. It loosely reminds me of last year’s streamer, Twisted Metal, starring Anthony Mackie. That was excellent. Looking forward to seeing it…and I certainly noticed the “hype machine” at full speed from our good friends at Amazon.
I’m a really big fan of the games. It’s such a wild and immersive world. Really hope they get it right.
The world’s more 1980s retrofuturistic 💜
I heard about this. I might check it out if I have the time and urge.
I’m extremely excited for it and early buzz has been encouraging.
