Fallout is set in the future envisioned by Americans in the late 1940s. The country has exploded upon itself through a nuclear war in 2077. The Fallout video game series first came out in 1997 and have posted record sales worldwide. The mobile game Fallout Shelter has been downloaded more than 170 million times. Here’s everything you need to know about the Fallout TV series.
Fallout TV show release date
A release date for the Fallout TV series adaptation is very much TBD.
Fallout TV series plot
Since a script hasn’t even been written yet, there’s not much to speculate about when it comes to the Fallout show’s plot. The first look at the Fallout TV series suggests it will be in the Fallout 3 timeframe, due to the appearance of the Super Duper Mart. However, in its announcement, Bethesda revealed, “The series takes place in a harsh wasteland set against the previous generation’s utopian idea of a better world through nuclear energy. It is serious in tone, yet sprinkled with moments of ironic humor and B-movie-nuclear-fantasies.” Westworld has some moments of ironic humor, as well — think of the bumbling techs that Thandie Newton’s Maeve so easily manipulates. Fallout may feel similar to those parts of Westworld.
Fallout TV series cast
Walton Goggins (Justified, The Righteous Gemstones), is starring as a to-be-named ghoul. Ella Purnell of Yellowjackets will be the series lead, while Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Xelia Mendes-Jones (Netflix’s Havoc) and Aaron Moten (Mozart in the Jungle) fill out the rest of the cast.
Fallout TV series trailer
It may be some time before you see a trailer for the Fallout show, but stay tuned for an update down the road. Read next: I’m worried Westworld season 4 could be heading for a Game of Thrones disaster.
