Amazon has revealed more about its upcoming Fallout series<\/a> on Prime Video. The company shared the first images<\/a> from the show and gave<\/a> Vanity Fair<\/em> a sneak peek ahead of its April debut. Based on the game franchise<\/a>, it stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets<\/em>) as a naive newcomer to the post-apocalyptic surface world she\u2019s spent her comfortable life hiding from underground.<\/p>\n

The series takes place in the year 2296. That\u2019s 219 years after nuclear war ravaged the Earth, driving deep-pocketed survivors into subterranean bunkers, leaving everyone else to fend for themselves above ground. Lucy is the daughter of \u201cOverseer Hank\u201d (Kyle MacLachlan, Twin Peaks<\/em>), the mayor-like figure of Lucy\u2019s Vault 33.<\/p>\n

Vanity Fair<\/em> says Vault Boy, the iconic game logo, appears as the mascot for Lucy\u2019s underground dwelling. We\u2019ll even hear about its origin story. \u201cThat was something that they came up with that\u2019s just really smart,\u201d Bethesda\u2019s Todd Howard said, describing the series\u2019 creative take on Vault Boy\u2019s genesis.<\/p>\n

Walton Goggins as The Ghoul<\/figcaption>

The Ghoul, familiar to fans of the games, will be played by the scene-stealing Walton Goggins (Justified<\/em>, The Hateful Eight<\/em>) in a role that sounds tailored to the wry character actor. \u201cWalton\u2019s equally adept at drama and comedy, which is so difficult,\u201d creator Jonathan Nolan told Vanity Fair<\/em>. \u201cThere is a chasm in time and distance between who this guy was and who he\u2019s become, which for me creates an enormous dramatic question: What happened to this guy? So we\u2019ll walk backwards into that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nolan says The Ghoul represents all sides of Fallout\u2019s world. \u201cHe\u2019s got a lot of mileage on him, but he\u2019s still got a swagger and kind of a charm to him,\u201d Nolan said. The series\u2019 take on the character strikes a balance between using prosthetics and makeup to show his disfigured face while still giving Goggins room to find the half-dead, half-immortal character\u2019s humanity. \u201cI need to be able to see Walton and his performance, he needs to look like a Ghoul from the game, and he needs to be kind of hot,\u201d Nolan said.<\/p>\n

The series was created by Westworld<\/em> creators Nolan and Lisa Loy. They describe the story as hitting similar notes as the games, including its retrofuturistic stylings, biting social commentary and themes of gray morality. \u201cWe had a lot of conversations over the style of humor, the level of violence, the style of violence,\u201d Bethesda\u2019s Howard, an executive producer on the show, said. \u201cLook, Fallout can be very dramatic, and dark, and postapocalyptic, but you need to weave in a little bit of a wink\u2026. I think they threaded that needle really well on the TV show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fallout premieres on April 12, 2024<\/a>, on Amazon Prime Video.<\/p>\n
