The next big video game adaptation for TV is Fallout, and it’s coming soon. Westworld’s Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy are adapting the Bethesda game for TV.
But where can you watch the show when it releases in April? For anyone needing to know, the Fallout show will stream on Prime Video beginning April 11.
All Amazon Prime members get access to Prime Video as part of their subscription at $15/month or $140/year. Alternatively, people can sign up for Prime Video alone for $9/month. Note that these are the prices for the standard service. To skip ads you need to pay $3/more per month.
If you’ve never had Prime before, new subscribers can sign up for a free 30-day trial. You can use the links below to sign up for Amazon Prime and Prime Video’s standalone subscription specifically.
The Fallout TV series doesn’t adapt the story of any game in particular, and doing that would be difficult anyway since the games are known for their open-ended structure where you can go anywhere and do anything. Instead, the Fallout series tells its own original story following members of Vault 33 who emerge into the nuclear apocalypse to find new horrors.
Bethesda’s own Todd Howard is an executive producer on the series. He said he informed the show’s creative leads to avoid certain subjects because they could be featured in Fallout 5.
Fallout stars Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan. The series debuts on April 11, and all episodes will be available from the get-go. Nolan is the director of the first three episodes and executive producer.
It’s Prime Video’s first video game TV series but it won’t be the last. Prime Video is also producing a God of War TV series, though not much is known about it right now.
