Release date, trailer, cast, and more

Key Takeaways

If you’re into role-playing games, the Fallout series is undoubtedly one of the first video games in the genre that you think of. The stellar Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, together with (probably even better) Fallout New Vegas, are the pinnacle of RPG gaming. Their fascinating, post-apocalyptic world is incredibly detailed and interesting, mixing the harsh realities of post-nuclear USA with the wit and humor of top-notch writing.

When is Amazon releasing its Fallout series?

If you cannot wait for the release of the new Fallout series, do not be afraid. It’s set to debut quite soon. It’ll grace your TV screen sooner than the next game in the series, that’s for sure.

Together with the teaser trailer, Amazon announced the new TV series will debut on 12 April 2024, so a bit less than half a year from now. It’ll be just in time for spring, so you can already plan your post-winter activities around the upcoming series!

We also know that Amazon’s Fallout show will span 8 episodes. However, there is no news yet about whether further seasons are planned, or if it’s just a single-season affair.

Are there any Fallout series trailers?

Yes, and you can finally see the Fallout series trailer now, as it’s live on YouTube.

It has to be said, the trailer itself looks great and does seem to capture the uncanny, gritty nature of the Fallout world.

As it’s just a teaser trailer, we do not get much in terms of plot details or character development, but we can safely say that fans of the games – especially the ones made by Bethesda – are sure to see quite a lot of things that they know and love from Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. You can see the Brotherhood of Steel’s blimp The Prydwen, there is you trusty pal resembling Dogmeat (called CX404 for a change), and of course, a scene when the bombs fall and your character emerges from the Vault to start their journey in the Wasteland – all the good stuff.

The show itself is not a direct adaptation of the previous Fallout games but is a completely new idea set in the same universe. The female protagonist, 219 years after the bombs fell, emerges from Vault 33, which is located in pre-apocalypse Los Angeles. In the trailer, we can see that she’ll have to overcome challenges both inside the vault, as well as outside, learning to survive in the harsh reality of the post-war USA. We do not yet know what the overarching plot of the series will be, but the creators of the show mentioned in an interview that the show’s themes will revolve around social inequality and the disconnect between the vault dwellers and the people who are descendants of those left to die outside the vaults.

What’s more, Todd Howard of Bethesda Game Studios and James Altman of Bethesda Softworks are also involved as executive producers, serving as a link between the world of Fallout as shown on TV, and the one you know from video games. What’s more, Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner will serve as showrunners.
