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.

3 great Amazon Prime Video TV shows to watch instead of the 2024 Oscars

The 2024 Oscars aren't for everyone. You can be a movie fan and not really care for the red carpet interviews, the long victory speeches, the cheesy musical numbers, or the tribute to those who passed away in the past year that's always a downer.

If that's the case, and you're looking for some good TV shows to watch, just head over to Amazon Prime Video. It has a lot of shows, but there are three in particular that are worth your time. One is a 2024 show that just debuted, another is one of 2023's most underrated series, and the final one is a sci-fi series that should appeal to fans of Denis Villeneuve's Dune movies.

3 TV comedies on Amazon Prime Video you need to watch in March 2024

Two men stand next to each other in Royal Pains.

Some of the best TV comedies hail from the 1990s. We're talking classics that you can watch and rewatch and yet they never get old. Among the three TV comedies on Prime Video you need to watch in March are two from that decade that you might have already seen, but probably not since they originally aired. If you haven’t seen them yet, they’re worth checking out, as they feature fabulous casts and unique storylines.

The third entry on the list this month is a long-running comedy from the 2010s that might have fallen under the radar. The series didn’t get much attention when it quietly aired on USA Network for eight seasons, all of which are available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. If you have run out of new comedies to watch and want a solid throwback option, these three TV comedies are all delights.

While plenty of Amazon's shows have received lots of attention, there are also some that have flown more under the radar. Today, we're bringing you five such shows that you may never have heard of, but are definitely worth your attention.
