Fans ‘plead’ for Fallout series success following trailer release

The time has come for another epic video game series to hit the small screen, with Fallout fans ‘pleading’ for success after its trailer drop.

2024 has been bossing the game when it comes to adaptations of stories we’ve seen elsewhere. Real-life tales like Griselda, novels like One Day, and cartoons such as Avatar: The Last Airbender have all had their moments in recent months.

For video game fans, there’s major excitement in the form of a Fallout TV series, set to head to Prime Video in just over a month.

Now that the official trailer has been released, fans are ‘pleading’ for the adaptation to be just as good as the games they know and love.

Fans ‘plead’ for Fallout series success following trailer release

The official trailer for the Prime Video Fallout TV series has just dropped – and fans are already ‘pleading’ for the show to be good.

Over the course of eight episodes, the show will follow the “haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.”

“Please be good. Please be good. Please be good,” one YouTube comment pleads, while another adds “Surprised they decided to drop all episodes quickly. Hopefully it is very good and they can do more seasons. I’m looking forward to watching this. Also don’t forget that around that time the hefty fan expansion Fallout 4: London releases as well.”

Over on X/Twitter, fans are feeling a lot more positive about the upcoming adaptation. “I have a good feeling about this one. Amazon has a great record of respecting well-established franchises,” one posted in response to the news.

“This is going to go so hard, I can’t wait to watch this!” another agreed, with a third weighing in “This show has so much potential for greatness. Really hope they do it justice!”

Fallout’s TV version has already been highly praised for its visuals, with producer Jonathan Nolan hinting to Total Film that it essentially acts as Fallout 5.

“Fallout, in my career, is closest to the work we did in adapting Batman,” he said, “where there’s so much storytelling in the Batman universe that there is no canonical version of it, so you’re free to invent your own,” Nolan explained.

Fallout will be released on Prime Video on April 11. Find more amazing TV shows to stream in the meantime here.
