HBO may have cancelled Westworld, but Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy are teaming up with rival streaming service Amazon Prime Video to deliver their adaptation of hit video game series Fallout.
The show is set to premiere this April, and we have a new trailer showcasing the main characters of Lucy (Ella Purnell), the Ghoul (Walton Goggins), and Maximus (Aaron Moten). Check this out:
Fans of the original Fallout games will immediately remember the song used in the trailer I Don’t Want to Set the World of Fire by The Ink Spots since it was also used to promote the release of Fallout 3.
We don’t know how much of the game’s influence is going to be in the series, but the show pretty much has the aesthetic down. The games really did build a very unique atmosphere with the soundtrack, so it would also make sense that the series would adapt the same thing.
Just like The Last of Us before it, fans are hoping that this series adaptation will bring even more into the Fallout fandom. Nolan and Joy have done some great work with previous series; so fingers crossed that they hit a home run with this one.
Here’s the official series description:
Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them.
Fallout premieres on Amazon Prime Video on April 11.
