The live-action Fallout TV series from producer Jonathan Nolan has received an official trailer ahead of its premiere in April on Prime Video. The show is based on the video game IP of the same name. Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland following a nuclear fallout, the remnants of humanity must fight to survive against radiated mutants, bandits and equally dangerous factions.
The first season has a confirmed release date of 11 April when it debut all episodes simultaneously on Prime Video. Set 200 years after the nuclear fallout in Los Angeles, the live-action Fallout stars Ella Purnell as Lucy, a survivor who emerges from a bunker to explore the post-apocalyptic wastelands. It follows a similar pattern to the games, at least in terms of story structure, so it will be interesting to see how much of Fallout‘s lore and world-building will be used.
A new official description of the show was provided by Amazon, stating:
“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. From executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the creators of Westworld, starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins and more. All episodes arrive April 11 on Prime Video.”
In case you missed it, have a look at the show’s first images which reveal the Brotherhood of Steel, Walter Goggins and some amazing production design. The showrunners believe that the live-action sticks so closely to the games, one could possibly view it as Fallout 5.
