Fallout has become one of Prime Video’s biggest series ever — according to Prime Video.
The well-reviewed show, based on the video game franchise of the same name, has become the second-most-watched title ever on the Amazon streaming service over its first 16 days of release, the company says. Prime Video says 65 million viewers worldwide have watched at least some of Fallout since its April 10 premiere, putting the show behind only The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power in the streamer’s catalog.
Global audiences have powered a majority of that viewing: More than 60 percent of Fallout’s audience is outside the United States. The (limited) data from Amazon jibes with that from outside sources like Samba TV, Luminate and Reelgood, all of which have tracked a strong start for the series (Nielsen’s streaming data lags by several weeks).

Video-game adaptations are going next level. Amazon says “Fallout” is off to the second-best start for any series on Prime Video ever.
More than 65 million people watched “Fallout” in its first 16 days on the streaming service, per a Prime Video rep. Amazon says that’s second only to the 16-day debut window for “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” back in 2022. Amazon also says “Fallout” is the number 1 title globally on Prime Video in that span, it’s hit number 1 in 170 countries, and more than 60 percent of its audience has come internationally. People in the UK, France, and Brazil especially love it.
The streamer claimed back in 2022 that the debut episode of “Rings of Power” was watched by 25 million people in just 24 hours and by 100 million people overall, but never reported specific figures for a 16-day window. But how many kept watching? A report said only 37 percent of...

“Fallout” is proving to be far from a (nuclear) bomb for Amazon’s Prime Video.
According to the streamer, the series pulled in 65 million viewers in its first 16 days of availability, with the first season dropping in its entirety on April 10. That makes it the second most-watched title ever on the platform and the most-watched title since the debut on “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” back in 2022.
Amazon also says the show is its most-watched ever among adults 18-34, with 60% of the show’s audience coming from outside the United States. In particular, the UK, France, and Brazil have all proven to be hubs for the show’s popularity. It should be noted, however, that Amazon has not released any data on how viewers are counted, especially when it comes to completion of the show. Therefore, it is unknown if a viewer is counted once they have completed a single episode,...

Fallout has made quite the impact on Amazon.
The series, which was already renewed for a second season, debuted 16 days ago and has since lassoed more than 65M viewers, making it the second most-watched title ever in that time frame on Prime Video, according to the streamer.
Through 16 days, it’s also the most-watched title on the platform since The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Amazon says the series is particularly well-received among the younger crowd, becoming Prime Video’s most-watched title ever with the 18-34 demographic within 16 days of release.
Fallout is the the top title globally on Prime Video, as the company also touts that 60% of its audience has been based outside the U.S. In particular, it has drawn large viewership from the UK, France, and Brazil.
Amazon renewed Fallout just a week after it launched, saying that it had already drawn outsized viewership.

Note: This story contains spoilers from “Fallout” Season 1
The Season 1 finale of Prime Video’s “Fallout” left audiences with many unanswered questions around the scientist-turned-New California Republic leader Lee Moldaver, such as how she survived the nuclear apocalypse and her relationship to Lucy’s mother, Rose MacLean.
Sarita Choudhury, who portrays Moldaver, revealed that she “knows enough” about the answers to these questions, but remained tight-lipped.
“I was told enough to play each scene,” she told TheWrap in a recent interview. “When I had the first meeting, I was told a lot, and then as we were shooting… It was so coveted, this information, and the writers are so brilliant, they’re so caring. They wanted to give us everything, but at the same time, they couldn’t give everything. So I know more than you do, but I don’t know as much as them.”

The Prime Video TV series adaptation of the popular Fallout video game franchise won’t begin streaming until April 12th, but season 2 of the show is already moving forward. While the first season was primarily filmed in New York (with some filming also taking place in Utah), Variety reports that the production will be moving to California for the next sequel. That’s not to take advantage of filming locations there, but rather to get a tax break. The California Film Commission just awarded $152 million in tax incentives to a dozen different TV shows, and Fallout is on the list. For filming the next season in California, the show will receive $25 million in California tax credits.
The budget for the show is quite large, as Variety notes that it has $153 million in qualified expenditures for the season.

The Alien Report: "The Alien Report follows "The Abductee" (Braxton Hale), an everyday American who finds himself hijacked by extraterrestrial beings and taken on a terrifying journey of self-preservation, running afoul of classic "grey aliens", disturbing human-et hybrids, and the U.S. government's shady Men in Black. Based on countless documented reports made by self-proclaimed abductees, The Alien Report is a meticulous, straight-faced look at what an real-life alien abduction would be like, from the perspective of first-person cameras.
The Alien Report has screened at festivals worldwide, winning awards in the U.S., UK, Australia, and Brazil. Shot on iPhone and GoPro cameras as a non-traditional narrative composed of re-assembled found footage, the picture plays out as both a sci-fi thriller and first-person documentary. It is the intended first chapter in a trilogy of films about extraterrestrial abductions.
The Alien Report was directed by Patrick Donnelly and produced by Kevin Schroeder and Michael Sell.

Surprise, but no surprise: X Chairman and SpaceX founder Elon Musk made a cameo at Prime Video’s Fallout experience on SXSW Thursday night.
While not an everyday occurrence in Hollywood, Musk’s appearance wasn’t shocking as he’s a longtime friends with Fallout EP and director Jonathan Nolan. Not to mention, Musk reportedly lives in the Austin area.
In fact, Nolan sat down for a long conversation with Musk back at SXSW 2018 in which they canvassed several topics including SpaceX’s timeline for Mars exploration as well as hopes for an underground high-speed transportation system in Los Angeles. This all culminated with Musk and his brother singing a rendition of “My Little Butter Cup” from the Steve Martin-Chevy Chase-Martin Short 1980s comedy, The Three Amigos (watch below). It was a trippy experience that bears repeating, specifically because we need a post-pandemic update on SpaceX’s Mars mission.

Today, Prime Video opened the vault to the official trailer for the upcoming post-apocalyptic series Fallout, based on the immensely popular retro-futuristic video game franchise. The cinematic trailer, which maintains the game’s expansive world-building and signature dark humor, sees vault dweller Lucy (Ella Purnell) struggle to adapt to the twisted and dangerous world of the irradiated wasteland and offers the first glimpse of Moldaver (Sarita Choudhury) and Ma June (Dale Dickey). Prime Video’s Fallout series will premiere all eight episodes on April 11 on the streaming platform, one day sooner than previously announced.

Fans of the video game seem to be happy about the tone, the production design, and the action in Prime Video’s first teaser trailer Fallout. And equally important, viewers who’ve never even heard of the video game seem to be into the teaser trailer’s vibe.
“Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have,” reads Prime Video’s synopsis. “Two-hundred 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.”

Amazon’s Prime Video has released the first teaser for Fallout, its series based on the hugely popular video game franchise.
The 2 1/2-minute teaser (watch it below), unveiled at the Ccxp convention in São Paulo, showcases the scale of the game and several darkly comedic moments, with a tone set by a title card noting it’s from “the studio behind The Boys … and free 2-day shipping” and Nat King Cole’s “I Don’t Want to See Tomorrow” providing the soundtrack.
Fallout is set 200 years after a nuclear apocalypse — also partly depicted in the teaser — and follows the “gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters,” who are forced back into the harsh world they’ve kept at bay.
The series has been in the making for more than three years: Westworld creators Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan (who signed a big overall deal with what was then known as Amazon Studios...

Prime Video released first-look images from the highly anticipated new series, Fallout, which will premiere exclusively on April 12, 2024, in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.
Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of 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.

Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, writers and co-showrunners.

More leaked production images from the upcoming Amazon “Fallout” TV series have appeared online. Reportedly taken this past December, the photos were shot from the window of a hospital that’s been dressed up to look like a Vault-Tec facility, complete with the famous logo.
The set photos initially appeared on Discord, but have since been disseminated on social media, thanks to a recent Reddit thread. The user who posted the photos, PrinceDaCat, also mentioned a video showing more of the set, which has also found its way online.
“The entrance down by the actors is painted and the entire room past the entrance and the hallways outside the room are also painted. The colors inside are of light and dark grey,” says the user, who also said that the set had plenty of green screens up for compositing purposes.

If you haven’t played the games, “Fallout” is a role playing action game series taking place at various points in the future, decades after a nuclear war in 2077 devastated the world and destroyed the United States. Each game focuses on a customizable player character descended from survivors who escaped the war by hiding in shelters called “vaults” and must now leave the shelter to explore the post-atomic world outside — which for mainly comedic reasons is always a combination of post-apocalyptic scavenger societies and 1950s retrofuturism.

Welcome to Vault 33!
Amazon’s upcoming “Fallout” TV series, adapted from the popular, post-apocalyptic video game series, has gotten its first look, and it appears to take place, at least partly, in the underground bunker called Vault 33.
Released by Amazon on Tuesday, which also marked the 25th anniversary of the “Fallout” video game franchise, the first-look image shows the backs of two characters who are dressed in the iconic “Fallout” blue-and-yellow jumpsuits. They are both staring at the massive vault’s open door, which leads to a blindingly bright hole to the outside world. In the “Fallout” world, citizens sheltered in underground vaults to keep safe from nuclear radiation, wasteland mutants and deadly bandits. In the games, Vault 33 is located in San Diego and is one of the smaller shelters, with only six people being allowed inside.
