Fallout TV show arrives next April - and this Pip-Boy teaser could be the start of something S.P.E.C.I.A.L
Prime Video's live-action Fallout TV series has finally set a release date – and it's coming a lot sooner than you'd think.
The TV show's official Twitter account shared an animated message featuring an 8-bit style Pip-Boy. The brief video reveals the premiere date as April 12, 2024. The account's bio now reads, "Prepare for the future! Come for the apocalypse, stay for the Fallout – April 12, 2024 only on @primevideo."
The video game franchise has taken place in several locations, including 'New' California, the American Midwest, the Commonwealth, and parts of Appalachia. The live-action adaptation will take place in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, which has been ravaged by nuclear war.
Westworld creators Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan developed the series, with Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner (Tomb Raider) set to serve as showrunners.
The cast includes Walton Goggins, Ella Purnell, Kyle MacLachlan, Mike Doyle, Moises Arias, Xelia Mendes-Jondes, Aaron Moten, Johnny Pemberton, Cherien Dabis, Dale Dickey, and Maty Cardarople. Not much is known about the cast and its characters, though Goggins will play a Ghoul – a race of (rather scary-looking) posthuman beings severely affected by irradiation.
A first look was shown earlier this year at Gamescom, which featured "the world as it was pre-war, the hot flash of nuclear explosions tearing cities apart, and some stunningly recreated Fallout characters and locations."
