Amazon Prime Video unveiled the release date for its Fallout series via a cutesy play on the Pip-Boy boot screen on TwiXer, revealing a premiere on April 12th 2024. The reveal landed today on ‘Fallout Day’ - because October 23rd marks the in-game beginning of the Great War that rinses the Earth in nuclear radiation and leaves it a glowing wasteland full of mutants, dogs and radroaches.

As you may remember, the Fallout TV series has been in the works since at least 2020, when it wasannounced to be in the works from Westworld co-creatorsJonathan Nolan (of being Christopher Nolan’s brother and co-writing The Prestige, The Dark Knight and Interstellar) and Lisa Joy. The pair will serve as executive producers on the series, alongside Bethesda’s Todd Howard.

We also know that the show will be set in a hellish vision of Los Angeles opposed to human existence where everyday survival is a struggle - but in the future, after the nuclear apocalypse,hur hur- and centre around the inhabitants of the local Vault 33.

While other details - including how many episodes the series will run - are yet to make it out of the vault, that hasn’t stopped a number of set photosleaking outover the last year or so, showing off Red Rocket gas stations, what looks like the HQ for vault makers Vault-Tec, and vaults 33 and 32.

We won’t have to wait long to find out more, presumably, as we’re now less than six months away from its premiere.
