Fallout is Getting an Amazon Prime Video Series
According to a post from the official Amazon Prime Video Twitter, the Fallout original series will premiere in 2024. The series will be set in Los Angeles, “where dreams come true.” Every Fallout game is focused around a fallout bunker that the protagonist, a survivor, must leave to explore the wider world. In this case, the bunker, titled a Vault, is called “Vault 33.”
During Gamescom, Bethesda Designer and Director Todd Howard revealed a first look at the upcoming series to attendees. Little was shown beside the world of the Fallout series. Before delivering the footage, however, Howard elaborated on the process that went into the series and what it was like to work with acclaimed producer Johnathan Nolan.
“One of the movies which inspired Starfield is the movie Interstellar, written by Jonathan Nolan – he goes by Jonah. I got to know Jonah, and I always wanted to make a Fallout TV show! So I talked to Jonah about it and we have been making the Fallout TV show that’s coming, and we thought we would give you a sneak peek.”
Starfield is Bethesda’s first major release in nearly ten years and their first new franchise in almost twenty. Bethesda will release on September 6 for the Xbox Series X|S and PC. Lastly, Fallout will premiere on Amazon Prime Video in 2024. Bethesda and Amazon will release more information on the upcoming series in the coming months.
