The Fallout TV show is now arriving even earlier than expected after Prime Video confirmed a new release date for the video game adaptation. The post-apocalyptic series is dropping all eight episodes on April 10, a day earlier than its previous release.

Walton Goggins announced the news with a special video sharing the update, telling fans. "Fallout has been beloved for over 25 years and as a thank you to all the fans out there, we’re giving you the show early. All of it."

All eight episodes will be released on the streaming platform at 6pm PT, which is 9pm ET, and 2am BST on April 11 if you’re watching in the UK. Prime Video is also hosting a fan premiere event for the first episode at this time too, where viewers will be able to chat with other fans and choose their faction. They’ve promised some surprises there as well, so keep an eye out for that.
