Amazon Prime’s Fallout TV series gets release date announcement

Amazon Prime Video has confirmed the release date of its upcoming Fallout series based on the hugely successful video game franchise. Amazon made the announcement on Monday (October 23) – the date known as Fallout Day – alongside a teaser in the style of a Pip-Boy, a device from the games.

The live-action drama will follow an original story that will unfold in Vault 33, one of many underground bunkers scattered across a ravaged, post-apocalyptic United States and a regular feature of the games. The series will also be part of the franchise’s official canon.

Fallout will star The Hateful Eight’s Walton Goggins and Yellowjackets’ Ella Purnell, who lead an ensemble cast. Other stars include Twin Peaks’ Kyle MacLachlan, Emancipation’s Aaron Moten, The King of Staten Island’s Moisés Arias, Homeland’s Sarita Choudhury and Person of Interest’s Michael Emerson.
