“Fallout” is executive produced by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the duo behind “Westworld,” and stars Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, Kyle MacLachlan, Xelia Mendes-Jones, and Aaron Moten. The show “takes place in a future, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. Citizens must live in underground bunkers to protect themselves from radiation, mutants and bandits after nuclear annihilation. The story begins in Vault 33, one such bunker that is a prominent setting in the video games.”

Purnell plays Lucy, a resident of Vault 33, and Machlachlan is Hank, her father and the Overseer of the vault. Goggins plays Ghoul, a disfigured and mysterious bounty hunter, and Moten is Maximus, a soldier in the militaristic Brotherhood of Steel. The trailer shows a rebellion happening with a vault with all the blue-suited denizens attacking each other, gigantic cockroaches, a deformed grizzly bear, a grotesque monster with hundreds of fingers wiggling in its mouth, a one-eyed Vault Dweller and a nuclear blast destroying a city.

First look photos released last week teased life inside the vaults, where citizens took shelter and stayed safe during the nuclear fallout. Many of the Fallout video games revolve around the vaults and the devastated societies that were rebuilt in the outskirts. Players take control of a survivor and do battle with many irradiated monsters, cutthroat bandits and more in the games. The “Fallout” show is also staying true to the source material and created the massive, mechanical Power Armor, which are giant suits of armor that protect the user from nuclear radiation and pack a powerful punch.

Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner are co-creators and serve as executive producers, writers and co-showrunners. Nolan directed the first three episodes.

“Fallout” premieres on Prime Video on April 12.
