Fallout: Season 1

Season overview

Fallout is an American post-apocalyptic drama television series created by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner for Amazon Prime Video. The series, which premiered in April 2024, is based on the role-playing video game franchise created by Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky. Jonathan Nolan directed the series, which is distributed by Amazon MGM Studios.

The story is set two centuries after the Great War of 2077, a nuclear apocalypse that left society in a state of decimation. In this post-apocalyptic version of Los Angeles, the survivors must navigate a world where there is almost nothing left to have. The narrative focuses on the divide between the haves and the have-nots. While some citizens reside in underground bunkers to protect themselves from radiation, mutants, and bandits, others live on the surface. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the residents of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind. Upon emerging, they discover a universe that is incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent. The cast includes Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, and Moises Arias.
