Amazon’s Fallout TV Series Releases Hilariously Entertaining First Clip
The highly-anticipated Fallout TV series, set to debut on Amazon Prime Video on April 11, has just released its first official clip, and it’s a delightful mix of humor and post-apocalyptic tension.
The scene features a standoff between Vault Dweller Lucy (Ella Purnell), the eccentric Ghoul (Walton Goggins), and a member of the Brotherhood of Steel. As Lucy attempts to defuse the situation by shooting the Ghoul with a tranquilizer dart, he nonchalantly remarks that it’s just “a very small drop in a very, very large bucket of drugs” before drawing his own weapon.

The clip’s comedic highlight comes from Ma June (Dale Dickey), who, while lying on the ground, exasperatedly sighs and calls Lucy a “f**king vault dweller” – a nod to the protagonist’s sheltered upbringing and naivety about the harsh realities of the wasteland.
Fans on Reddit have been buzzing with excitement after watching the clip. User ‘PM_ME_UR_KITTY_PICZ’ praised the show’s faithfulness to the game’s tone, saying:
“As a huge fan of the Fallout games, this clip has me even more excited for the show. They really seem to have nailed the quirky, irreverent humor that makes the games so enjoyable.”
Another user, ‘Iscariot1945’, appreciated the attention to detail in the Brotherhood of Steel’s armor design:
“The Brotherhood of Steel armor looks spot-on. It’s clear that the showrunners have a deep respect for the source material and are committed to bringing the game’s iconic visuals to life.”
Developed by Westworld co-creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the Fallout series aims to capture the essence of Bethesda’s beloved RPG franchise while also carving its own path. Nolan has previously stated that pleasing fans is a “fool’s errand,” indicating that the show will balance faithfulness to the source material with original storytelling.
With its talented cast, impressive production values, and a keen understanding of what makes the Fallout games so special, Amazon’s adaptation is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans and newcomers alike. As the April 11 premiere date draws near, this first clip has only heightened anticipation for what promises to be a wild and entertaining ride through the wasteland.
