Shh! Do you know the Fallout TV show? It was originally scheduled to be released on April 12th, but until today we thought it would be released on April 11th? Well, now it’s dropping a little early, as its release date won’t stop moving forward like a ferocious ghoul who survived having his legs blown off.
Yes, you can now wait a little longer for the story of Lucy, the Ghouls, and their friendly neighbors, the Brotherhood of Steel. Additionally, it looks like plans are in place for a second season of the show, assuming it will eventually get one, so the episode going live this week might not be the only time we get to spend with the trio.

As the show’s official Twitter account announced, “The end of the world is coming, just a little sooner than expected.” Amazon’s Fallout is now set to be released on Prime Video on April 10 at 6pm PT.For Brits this is 2am GMT on April 11th, and for US East Coast time the slightly more reasonable time is 9pm ET on the 10th.
In a video announcing the news, the non-horror version of Walton Goggins revealed that yes, this means every episode of the show will now air on April 10, adding The move is a “thank you to all fans.” Putting aside the “OMG we got here earlier” hype, Some people in the Fallout community have pointed outscrewed up some of the plans people had made a day or so before the show premiered, which makes my gratitude a little bittersweet.
The show’s Twitter account has posted One of those fake “let me get off work to watch/play X” notes But everyone and their mom does it these days, so you might try giving it to your boss and see if they find it funny.

Oh, and Variety reports that the California Film Commission announced that it will provide $25 million in California tax credits for the show’s second season to be filmed in the state. To be clear, this doesn’t seem to be 100% confirmation that Fallout will be filming a second season, with Variety pointing out that shows that allocate tax credits like this don’t always end up actually filming in the state in question.
So, this looks more like a sign that everything is in place to cover a potential second season of the show, which suggests Amazon is currently considering the idea, as you’d expect.
If you’re eager to learn as much as you can about the show before you start, you might be happy to know that it apparently retains the show’s anti-corporate energy, even though it’s, uh, on Amazon Prime.
