‘Fallout’ – Enter a Dangerous and Demented World in New Trailer
Venture into the wild, weird, and dangerous wastelands in a new trailer for Amazon’s Fallout series.
Fallout is a longtime favorite of video game fans for its sardonic sense of humor, futuristic retro styling, and immersive world filled with dangerous characters and ghouls. It’s a perfect pick for a live-action show—and it’s in the right hands with producer Jonathan Nolan and game creator Todd Howard.
The show is set 200 years after the Great War and the collapse of civilization. Lucy, a Vault Dweller, decides to leave her safe underground home to explore the wasteland above. While she tries to find her way in this new wild and dangerous place, she encounters bounty hunters, the members of the Brotherhood of Steel, and monsters.
New Fallout Trailer
Prime Video has released a new trailer for the 10-episode series. It walks us through the idyllic vault life that’s been sold to humanity and the stark difference to the outside world. The wasteland is desolate and dangerous. The live-action world looks almost too much like video games. The production design is spot on—it looks like a big-budget movie set for theaters rather than a show for a streaming service.
Fallout Cast & Details
Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan left Warner Brothers and signed a massive deal with Amazon to create new shows. This project has them working directly with Bethesda. The studio has secured Geneva Robertson-Dworet (2018’s Tomb Raider) and Graham Wagner (The Office, Silicon Valley) as showrunners.
The cast includes Walton Goggins, Ella Purnell, Kyle MacLachlan, Moisés Arias, Aaron Moten, and Xelia Mendes-Jones. Plus, Sarita Choudhury, Michael Emerson, Leslie Uggams, Frances Turner, Dave Register, Zach Cherry, Johnny Pemberton, Rodrigo Luzzi, and Annabel O’Hagan.
Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them.
Vault Boy will appear in the show, and he finally gets an origin story.
Fallout debuts on Amazon’s Prime Video on April 12.
