The creators of Fallout want the show to have the game’s mix of silly and serious

Streaming on April 10th.

It’s set in Los Angeles, more than two centuries after the nuclear detonation that rendered America a wasteland, which gave the creators some freedom for approaching the challenge of Fallout ’s varied tones. The first, Lucy ( Yellowjackets ’ Ella Purnell), is similar to a Fallout video game protagonist: a vault dweller who grew up in the relative safety of an underground bunker and is experiencing the dangerous postapocalyptic wasteland for the first time. She’s joined by Maximus (Aaron Moten), a member of the militaristic Brotherhood of Steel who desperately wants to be a hero, and The Ghoul (Walton Goggins, HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones), a bounty hunter who has been alive since before the bombs dropped.
