Fallout is set to premiere this week, and Amazon seems so confident in its new show that they've moved its premiere up a day.
This isn't the first time Amazon has moved its release up a day, as the series was originally slated to launch on April 12th. That was moved to April 11th and, until last night, that seemed to be the last the Prime Video team was tweaking with when the Vault Dwellers would be let out into the Wasteland. Now, Amazon has revealed that all eight episodes of the video game adaptation will launch on April 10th at 6 pm PT.

If you don't have Prime Video and want to find a way to watch the first episode in order to see if it's worth subbing up for, Amazon also has you covered. The first episode will be streamed by 15 select Twitch streamers, giving fans a chance at watching the entire episode without an Amazon Prime subscription, but this will only be a one time thing. The show will air on April 11th, and even though fans of the highly-acclaimed franchise are excited about this one-time deal, they have been scratching their heads about why the Watch Party feature on Twitch was taken away in the first place.
According to IGN, the show has been offered a $25 million dollar tax credit to relocate to the state of California to get the ball rolling, but this could mean that the show will, in fact, be getting a second season. Amazon Prime Video has yet to make any form of statement confirming a second season going into the works, but this move to California could be a good sign for the future of the Fallout show.
Fans are holding their breath for a true adaptation of the video game they have come to know and love, and though reviews have yet to surface since the show isn’t live, there was a preview that got a massive amount of positive press.
