‘An exact date is yet to be announced.’
Amazon’s highly anticipated Fallout TV series will finally be hitting screens on Prime Video in 2024, more than three years after its initial announcement that it was teaming up with the creators of Westworld to develop the adaptation. The premiere date was revealed by the company, leaving fans eager to see whether the show will live up to expectations. A short teaser of the upcoming series was presented by Bethesda’s Todd Howard and Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer at Gamescom’s Xbox booth, giving viewers a glimpse of what’s to come.
The teaser clip showcased a post-apocalyptic wasteland, complete with a nuclear explosion near a city resembling Los Angeles. It also featured characters navigating the desolate landscape and a woman emerging from one of Fallout’s iconic Vaults. Prime Video confirmed through an image that Vault 33 will be set in LA, as depicted in the teaser. In the past, Amazon’s Prime Video X account shared behind-the-scenes images and leaked photos from Vault 32, generating even more excitement among fans.
Bethesda had been exploring options to adapt the popular Fallout games into a movie or TV show for the past decade. They ultimately approved a script developed by Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, promising a “serious and harsh” tone with elements of “ironic humor” and “B-movie nuclear fantasies.” The show’s unique blend of genres has piqued the interest of fans and industry insiders alike.
