Fallout TV Series Gets New Release Date on Prime Video

The wait is almost over for fans of the popular videogame series, Fallout. Prime Video has announced an earlier release date for its forthcoming adaptation, with the eight-episode series now set to drop on 10 April at 6pm PT.

“Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have.”

The show, starring Yellowjackets’ Ella Purnell as Lucy Walton, follows the story of an idealistic vault-dweller who leaves the safety of her nuclear bunker-based society to embark on an adventure through the ruined wastelands of post-apocalypse California.

The Fallout TV series is set to drop on Prime Video on 10 April.

Walter Goggins (The Hateful Eight, Sons of Anarchy) plays The Ghoul, a mutant bounty hunter with unknown motives and a mysterious pre-apocalypse past. Fans of the Fallout games will recognise the ghouls as the wasteland’s necrotic subclass of irradiated humans, and the TV series faithfully recreates their horrific, cadaver-like appearance.

Other stars include Aaron Moten as Maximus, a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, the fascist, pseudo-religious paramilitary order tasked with keeping a semblance of stability and peace in what’s left of California. Kyle McLachlan (Twin Peaks) plays Hank, the protagonist’s father and the leader of Vault 33, the vast 1950s-styled subterranean bunker in which Lucy’s community has lived happily for hundreds of years following the nuclear war.

The TV series is set in a post-apocalyptic California.

The Fallout TV series promises to be an epic adventure, exploring the complexities of a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. With its complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe, this show is not to be missed.
