Yahoo News ‘Fallout’: Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins Brave the Wasteland in First Photos From Amazon Series
Amazon is offering up the first photos — and several more details — about Prime Video’s forthcoming Fallout series.
The series, based on the massively successful video game franchise, will tell the story “of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have,” per the show’s description. Set 200 years after a nuclear apocalypse, it will follow the “gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters,” who are forced back into the harsh world they’ve kept at bay.
