With Bethesda gearing up for their big Starfield launch in just about five days, the Fallout TV series that will premiere on Prime TV in 2024 is here to remind us about their other hit game franchise. While filming for the series has wrapped up, production is ongoing. Fans have been treated to several pictures from the sets to get them excited. Prime TV released photos showing the inside of the vault, which we now know to be Vault 33, which is located in Los Angeles, thanks to Gamescom.
Like a typical postcard, the poster features the iconic Vault Boy cartoon character giving a thumbs up and having a yellow number 33 on his vault jumpsuit, standing amid a rendition of an alternative 1950s Los Angeles. This gives a bunch of clues as to what fans are likely to see in the upcoming show.

For one, it puts the vault that the show will center around, or at least start in, within the influence of the New California Republic. The NCR is one of the many political factions that arise in the aftermath of the thermonuclear war that gives rise to the setting of the iconic franchise. The NCR began by Vault 15 dwellers, who wished to restore what used to be the United States to what it was before the war. In the game Fallout: New Vegas, they represent one of the sources of conflict in the game, as the NCR tries to bring “civilization” to the Mojave Desert and the “lawless” city of New Vegas.
That said, with the TV series being set in Los Angeles, Polygon points out that Las Vegas is not that far from Los Angeles. With the conflict between the NCR and New Vegas established canon, it’s a setting rife with all kinds of stories to tell. While there aren’t any indicators that this will be the case, it is worth noting the two cities’ proximity and canonical history.
With the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes ongoing, and the bar on promotion, there will likely be little information to come soon, but with the window of 2024 set for the show’s release, only time will tell whether this suspicion pans out.
