Prime Video releases official trailer for Fallout series, promising a rich post-apocalyptic world

Prime Video has dropped the official trailer for its eagerly awaited new series Fallout, set to premiere globally on 11th April, a day earlier than previously expected. This series, drawing from the widely celebrated video game franchise known for its retro-futuristic setting and dark humour, promises to immerse viewers in the post-apocalyptic universe that has captivated gamers for years.

The trailer offers a peek into the life of Lucy, portrayed by Ella Purnell, a vault dweller grappling with the challenges posed by the radioactive wasteland she finds herself in. Additionally, it introduces characters Moldaver and Ma June, played by Sarita Choudhury and Dale Dickey respectively, highlighting the series’ commitment to an expansive world and complex character dynamics.

Set against the backdrop of a world ravaged by nuclear apocalypse, Fallout explores the stark contrasts between the sheltered lives of vault residents and the harsh realities of the outside world. As Lucy ventures to the surface in search of her father, she, along with characters like Maximus, a determined soldier of the Brotherhood of Steel played by Aaron Moten, and the morally ambiguous Ghoul, a bounty hunter with a deep history within this post-nuclear landscape portrayed by Walton Goggins, navigate the intricacies of survival and morality.

The series is a production of Kilter Films, with Jonathan Nolan directing the first three episodes and serving as an executive producer alongside Lisa Joy. The creative team also includes Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner as executive producers, writers, and co-showrunners. The collaboration between Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films, in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks, hopes to deliver a faithful adaptation of the video game’s universe, catering to fans and new audiences alike.

Fallout is not just a narrative about survival but delves into themes of societal hierarchy, morality and the human condition in the face of devastation. With a star-studded cast and a seasoned production team, the series aims to provide a compelling viewing experience that mirrors the depth and complexity of its source material. Check out the new trailer below.
