The video game adaptation was a hit when it premiered in April 2024, and it’s based on the popular post-apocalyptic gaming franchise of the same name. The show follows Ella Purnell’s protagonist Lucy MacLean as she emerges from an underground vault after a nuclear war devastates the world. Along the way, she meets a variety of terrifying, nuclear-irradiated creatures and characters as she looks for her father Hank, played by Kyle Maclachlan, who was kidnapped by raiders. The cast also includes Aaron Moten as Maximus, a power armor-wearing member of the Brotherhood of Steel who goes rogue, and Walton Goggins as the Ghoul, a deformed bounty hunter who was revealed to be Vault-Tec executive Cooper Howard before the nuclear outbreak.
In the Season 1 finale, Lucy and her brother Norm (Moises Arias) learn that their father was responsible for one of the nuclear bombs going off, the Ghoul finds out that his pre-war family may still be alive and Maximus is promoted to a knight. Lucy and the Ghoul head out to find Vault-Tec’s leaders to get some answers, and Hank runs off to New Vegas, the fan-favorite, Las Vegas-inspired setting for one of the “Fallout” games.
“We are absolutely thrilled that our global Prime Video customers will be able to delve deeper into the
wonderfully surreal and captivating world of ‘Fallout,’” said Vernon Sanders, global head of television,
Amazon MGM Studios. “Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have done an exceptional job bringing this
beloved video game franchise to vivid life on Prime Video. Together with our amazing partners at
Bethesda Games and Bethesda Softworks, we are delighted to announce a third season of ‘Fallout,’ well
ahead of the much-anticipated debut of Season Two.”
“Fallout” received Emmy nominations for outstanding drama, lead actor in a drama for Goggins and writing by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner. The show is produced by Kilter Films, with executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. Robertson-Dworet and Wagner also serve as executive producers, creators and showrunners.
