A teaser for the project was released on Thursday, July 2, offering the vibe Fallout fans expect: Crackling radio, old-timey music, and some sort of wrenching metal noise.

Bethesda producer Todd Howard said in a statement “Over the last decade, we looked at many ways to bring Fallout to the screen, but it was clear from the moment I first spoke with Jonah and Lisa a few years ago, that they and the team at Kilter were the ones to do it right. We’re enormous fans of their work and couldn’t be more excited to work with them and Amazon Studios.”

We’ve reached out to Amazon and Bethesda for more details, and will update this story if we get more information. No word yet on whether famed series narrator Ron Perlman will make an appearance.

Amazon is giving you 6 months of MGM+ when you buy a new Fire TV
Amazon announcing a partnership with MGM.

Amazon is giving six months of free access to MGM+ in conjunction with the purchase of a new Fire TV. The announcement came as part of Amazon's massive annual device event at HQ2 in Arlington, Virginia. And that means low-cost sticks, as well as more expensive televisions running Amazon Fire TV.

Unsurprisingly, Amazon also used the event to announce a new Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and Fire TV Soundbar. Amazon announced in March 2023 that more than 200 million Fire TV devices had been sold worldwide, and that number is poised to continue growing strongly.

Amazon Prime produces many TV shows directly, but the channel also has a less well-known service called Freevee, which is a streaming channel that is entirely made up of ad-supported shows and movies.

On that channel, you'll see a combination of classic TV shows like Lost and Mad Men, as well as some original shows and other older shows that have flown more under the radar. Although streaming has made more and more TV viewers resistant to ads, if you're willing to sit through them, we've picked out three shows that are absolutely worth checking out.

Inflation is going down, but the dollar just isn't what it used to be. There are more bills to pay than ever, and the plethora of available streaming services doesn't help the pocketbook. YouTube has some free movies, but in general, major streamers like Netflix and Apple TV+ require an ever-increasing fee to access their digital treasures.

Amazon, however, is a bit different. Yes, it costs money to subscribe to Prime Video, but the company also has another option that's free. For consumers who don't want to pay the Prime rate for movies and TV shows, it offers an alternative: Freevee, an ad-supported option that has a plethora of top-tier movies and shows. The current selection includes action movies like Kick-Ass 2 and Hoodlum, sci-fi adventures like Jurassic World with Chris Pratt, classic TV shows like Magnum P.I. and Miami Vice, modern TV series like The Originals, serious dramas like The Post with Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, comedies like Pitch Perfect and Hot Fuzz, and thrillers like Widows with Viola Davis and Liam Neeson. Like any other streaming service, titles come and go, so keep reading to find out everything coming to Amazon Freevee in August 2023.
