Amazon Prime Video brings the massively successful video game franchise Fallout to the small screen. The network has released the first photos and several intriguing details about the highly anticipated series.
The Fallout series is set to tell the story of the haves and have-nots in an almost barren world 200 years after a nuclear apocalypse. The narrative follows the inhabitants of luxury fallout shelters, who, for the first time, are forced back into the harsh reality they have long kept at bay.
Ella Purnell, known for her role in Yellowjackets, stars as Lucy, an idealistic vault dweller whose principles are put to the test when her loved ones are endangered. Walton Goggins plays The Ghoul, a surface-dwelling bounty hunter with a hidden past.
Aaron Moten stars as Maximus, a young soldier in the Brotherhood of Steel. Moten’s character firmly believes in the group’s mission to restore law and order to the wasteland.
Kyle MacLachlan plays the role of Lucy’s father, Overseer Hank, who, as the head of Vault 33, is eager to change the world for the better. The series also features Moisés Arias, Sarita Choudhury, Michael Emerson, Leslie Uggams, Frances Turner, Dave Register, Zach Cherry, Johnny Pemberton, Rodrigo Luzzi, Annabel O’Hagan, and Xelia Mendes-Jones.
