“Everyone wants to save the world, they just – they disagree on how.” Which side are you on? Prime Video has debuted the main official trailer for Fallout, a new live-action streaming series based on the immensely popular, beloved video game series of the same name. Bethesda Softworks owns the game series and most recently published the sequels Fallout 4 in 2015, and Fallout 76 in 2018. This is essentially the big follow-up to HBO’s “Westworld”, as it was developed by and is being written / showrun by Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, the two minds behind the “Westworld” series as well. Set in a future, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles citizens must live in underground bunkers to protect themselves from radiation, mutants, and bandits after nuclear annihilation. The streaming series follows Lucy trying to survive in the aftermath of a nuclear war in an alternate history of a 1950s-esque retrofuturistic world, split between two factions. Ella Purnell stars as Lucy, Walton Goggins as The Ghoul, Kyle MacLachlan, Xelia Mendes-Jones, Aaron Moten, Mike Doyle, Moisés Arias, Johnny Pemberton, with Dale Dickey as Ma June. This looks damn good! Might actually turn out to be a good video game adaptation – doesn’t happen that often. Fire up the footage below.

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. Fallout is a series created & written by TV creators / writers Geneva Robertson-Dworet & Graham Wagner. The first three episodes are directed by the sci-fi filmmakers Lisa Joy (Reminiscence, “Pushing Daisies”, “Burn Notice”, “Westworld”) and Jonathan Nolan (Interstellar, “Person of Interest”, “Westworld”). Based on the video game series created by Bethesda Softworks; the very first Fallout game launched back in 1997 on Windows. It’s executive produced by James Altman, Todd Howard, Lisa Joy, Jonathan Nolan, Geneva Robertson-Dworet, Graham Wagner, Athena Wickham. Amazon’s Prime Video will debut the Fallout series streaming on Prime Video starting April 11th, 2024 coming up soon in spring. Who’s going to watch this?
