Yesterday was October 23, and that means it was "Fallout Day." To celebrate, Prime Video has confirmed (via SFFGazette.com) that its upcoming Fallout TV series will premiere on April 12, 2024. It's been a while since we've heard anything about the show, but excitement among fans has never died down and this latest update suggests work has been progressing well. 

In a teaser inspired by one of the long-running video game series' Pip-Boys, we simply get the date reveal and not much else...with any luck, however, a trailer with actual footage from the show is somewhere on the mutant-filled horizon! 

Walton Goggins (Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania) takes on the lead role in a series which is set in a post-apocalyptic 2077 where people are forced to live in underground bunkers to protect themselves from radiation, mutants, and bandits after nuclear annihilation. Now confirmed to be part of the gaming franchise's official canon, this TV show will begin in Vault 33 as Goggins' character ventures outside for the first time.

As for the show's setting, we'll be heading to a barren Los Angeles for this particular adventure. That promises to be a lot of fun and, with video game adaptations finding success lately (see: The Last of Us), we're keeping everything crossed this long-overdue adaptation doesn't disappoint. 

Alongside Goggins, Fallout stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets), Aaron Moten (Emancipation), Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Sarita Choudhury (Homeland), Michael Emerson (Person of Interest), Leslie Uggams (Deadpool), Frances Turner (The Boys), Dave Register (Heightened), Zach Cherry (Severance), Johnny Pemberton (Ant-Man), Rodrigo Luzzi (Dead Ringers), Annabel O’Hagan (Law & Order: SVU), and Xelia Mendes-Jones (The Wheel of Time).

Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, writers and co-showrunners. Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy also executive produce, with Todd Howard for Bethesda Game Studios and James Altman for Bethesda Softworks taking on the same role. 

Nolan helmed the first three episodes of the series and, given his history with Westworld, we know he has a solid grasp on high-concept sci-fi.

Honestly I'm nervous about this. I think fallout is a great franchise to adapt. And Jonathan Nolan is very talented.

However Amazon has this weird thing about overpaying for basically name recognition. In fact they paid Matt Damon more for the rights to air than it cost to make the film. And they paid phoebe waller bridges like 20 million a year despite providing nothing in said year.

My point being it might be a half a$$ed production because the people bts were getting free money from Amazon.

CAutiously optimistic about this. Fallout is one of my favorite game series and it has the potential for a really good show.

The best news is that it's a unique story in the Fallout universe, not an adaptation of Fallout 1 or Fallout 2, etc.
Those stories were already told.

Also I don't want to hear the fans bitching at changes to those stories if they deviated a bit from what was shown in those games.

I thought HBO made a really solid adaptation of The Last of Us, but every change they made was criticized by all the fans of the video game.

Interesting. It has always been a rumor Goggins was playing a Ghoul. Very glad he's playing the lead Survivor.
