Fallout Series: The First Images of the Prime Video TV Series Out Now Check Out Now!!
Prime Video has lifted the veil on the first images from the long-awaited new Fallout Series, scheduled to be released exclusively starting April 12, 2024, in over 240 countries and territories around the world. Inspired by one of the most iconic video game sagas of all time, Fallout tells the story of those who have and those who have nothing in a world where resources have become scarce. 200 years after the apocalypse, the lucky inhabitants of luxury Fallout shelters are forced to return to the desolate irradiated landscape that previous generations had tried to forget. Their surprise is great to discover an incredibly complex, bizarre, and extremely violent universe that awaits them.
A television adaptation inspired by the video game of the same name, the first images, visible at the bottom of the article, give us a look at the blue and yellow suits characteristic of the game, as well as the fantastic power suit and the post-apocalyptic settings. In the comments on the post, fans seem to be enthusiastic, and curiosity about the Amazon Prime Video product seems to be growing more and more. The series will not be the adaptation of any of the video game chapters of Fallout, but the plot will be completely original and canon, set in post-apocalypse Los Angeles. But as we can deduct from the first images, there will be no shortage of references and Easter eggs that can be linked to the games.
Fallout Series: The First Images of the Prime Video Series
As can be seen in these first photos, among the protagonists we find Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) in the role of Lucy, a Vault inhabitant who in her idealism fully embodies the American spirit, which will be put to the test by the violence that his loved ones. Aaron Moten (Emancipation), on the other hand, is Maximus, a young soldier with a dark past who militates in the Brotherhood of Steel, an armed group that wants to bring order to the Contaminated Zone at all costs. The cast also includes Walton Goggins (The Shield, Ant-Man and the Wasp) as Ghoul, a bounty hunter with a disfigured face who survives as best he can in The Wasteland, and Kyle MacLaughlin (Twin Peaks, Desperate Housewives) as Hank, superintendent of Vault 33 and father of Lucy, who hopes to change the world for the better.
For those unfamiliar with the Fallout franchise, the saga is set in a post-nuclear apocalypse world, where the protagonists explore the ruins of cities such as Washington DC, Boston and Las Vegas. In particular, in the TV series, we expect to see Los Angeles in disarray. The narrative line of the show will be completely new, although it will incorporate various elements and characters from video games, such as the Brotherhood of Steel or The Ghoul, played by Walton Goggins. The protagonist of the show, however, will be Lucy, a young woman in 2077 who, after living for years in an underground city, will be forced to go to the surface and come into contact with a completely unknown world. The plot of the show will rightfully become part of the canonical lore of video games.
