About Fallout

Based on the beloved video game series, Fallout brings the retro-futuristic wasteland to life. Set in an alternate timeline where 1950s American optimism never ended—until nuclear war destroyed everything—the show follows three characters navigating the irradiated ruins of Los Angeles. Lucy MacLean emerges from the safety of Vault 33 into a world nothing like what she was taught. The Ghoul, a 200-year-old bounty hunter, survives through violence and cynicism. Maximus, a young Brotherhood of Steel squire, seeks glory and purpose. The show perfectly captures the games' unique blend of 1950s Americana, dark humor, and post-apocalyptic survival. From Vault-Tec's sinister cheerfulness to the Wasteland's brutal reality, Fallout delivers for fans and newcomers alike.
