Storyline:
The show depicts the aftermath of an apocalyptic nuclear exchange in an alternate history of Earth where advances in nuclear technology after WWII led to the emergence of a retrofuturistic society and a subsequent resource war. Many survivors took refuge in fallout bunkers known as Vaults, built to preserve humanity in the event of nuclear annihilation, unaware each Vault was designed to perform psychological experiments on the Vault Dwellers.
More than two hundred years later, a young woman named Lucy leaves behind her home in Vault 33 to venture out into the dangerously unforgiving wasteland of a devastated Los Angeles to look for her father. Along the way, she meets a Brotherhood of Steel squire and a ghoul bounty hunter, each with their own mysterious past and agendas to settle.
About Fallout TV Series:
Fallout is an American post-apocalyptic drama television series created by Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet for Amazon Prime Video. It is based on the role-playing video game franchise created by Interplay Entertainment and now owned by Bethesda Softworks.
Amazon purchased the rights to produce a live-action project in 2020, and the show was announced that July, with Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s Kilter Films joined by Bethesda Game Studios in the production. Nolan directed the first three episodes. Bethesda Game Studios producer Todd Howard, who directed various games in the series, signed on to executive produce alongside Nolan and Joy. Robertson-Dworet and Wagner were hired as the series’ showrunners in January 2022, and Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell were cast in February and March, respectively.
Filming began on July 5, 2022, in New Jersey, New York and Utah. Additional filming took place in Namibia on the Skeleton Coast. Nolan directed the first 3 episodes of the series, with Stuart Dryburgh and Teodoro Maniaci serving as cinematographers.
Fallout premiered on Prime Video on April 10, 2024. It received positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances (particularly Purnell, Moten, and Goggins), writing, visuals, production design, and faithfulness to the source material.
