Fallout will now premiere a day early, with all eight episodes emerging from the vault at 6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET on Apr. 10. Sorry to anyone who’d planned their watch party for Thursday.
Prime Video announced Fallout’s early release on Monday in a new commercial aired during the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Game. Though you’ll be able to watch whichever episodes you want in any order you choose, the streaming service will also hold its own watch party for those who want to react to Fallout‘s first episode with others. This live stream premiere will feature a live chat which viewers can use to discuss what’s going happening on screen, though chances are it will be filled with people spamming memes, emojis, and claims that “another settlement needs your help.”
‘Fallout’ trailer welcomes us to an unhinged apocalypse
Based on the iconic video game franchise of the same name, Fallout takes place in a post-apocalyptic America, 200 years after it was destroyed by nuclear weapons. Lucy (Ella Purnell) is an idealistic young woman who has spent her entire life in the relative comfort of an underground fallout shelter, never having to deal with what life on the irradiated surface has become.
This changes when Lucy is forced to leave the vault to rescue her father, venturing beyond its safety for the first time. She soon discovers that life on the surface is much more dangerous than she anticipated, encountering various strange characters such as Brotherhood of Steel soldier Maximus (Aaron Moten) and a bounty hunter known as the Ghoul (Walton Goggins).
Fallout arrives Apr. 10 on Prime Video.
