The “Fallout” TV Series scheduled for Prime Video has cast Walton Goggins in a lead role.

It is believed that Walton Goggins will play one of the ghouls. Ghouls in the game are humans who have been horribly disfigured due to exposure to radiation, but are also largely immune to radiation and nuclear fallout as a result.

“Fallout” uses the visions of what the future (a retro future) would be like based on the perspective of Americans in the late 1940s, then destroys that future with a nuclear war in 2077.

Production on “Fallout” hasn't started yet.

Fallout is a 10 episode Genre TV Series streaming on April 12, 2024 on Amazon Prime. The Fallout TV Series is based on a huge Fallout role-playing video game franchise, Fallout (1997), Fallout 2 (1998), Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (2001), Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (2004), Fallout 3 (2008),  Fallout: New Vegas (2010), Fallout 4 (2015), and Fallout 76 (2018).  

The Fallout TV Series uses a completely new cast of characters and a new locale from what has been seen in any of the video games. This makes it easier for people who haven't played the games, to experience the world created within the video games without needing to rely on knowledge from the games. The TV Series is considered to be canon with the video games.  

It was the year 2077 when nuclear war breaks out across Earth, a time that was eerily similar in retro-futurist style to the earth in the 1940s, from clothes, to the entertainment, to the vehicles they drive, but... with hover cars, and advanced tech, like robots. 

219 years later, the lucky individuals who could afford to, rode out the nuclear devastation in luxury subterranean atomic bomb-proof bunkers (Vaults). We learn what life was like in the Vaults when we follow Lucy, a vault dweller as they unseal their doors for the first time and step out into a new world,  to find out if it is safe to return to the surface. Some people had to remain on the surface of the Earth as the atomic bombs rained down and the effects among other things includes a very long life span, so long in fact, the the people who were alive when the bombs hit are still walking around centuries later, they are commonly referred to as ghouls.

Experience the weird and highly violent hellscape waiting for our Vault dwellers, giant insects, voracious mutant animals “abominations” and the ghouls who have adopted an "Old West" gunslinging lifestyle and have had centuries to ponder about past mistakes.
