Prime Video’s Fallout TV show follows four main characters, but it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that fans are mostly focused on two.
The Ghoul’s enigmatic nature expectedly draws attention of both fictional characters and viewers, and Lucy’s oh-so-familiar journey from the safety of the Vault into the unforgiving Wastelands captivates the audiences new and old alike.
Warning: This article contains major spoilers for Fallout.
Lucy’s Season 1 Finale Was Overwhelming
Throughout Fallout Season 1, we as the audience got to know and love Lucy for her optimism, her ability to put one foot ahead of the other no matter the circumstances. She was a fighter and a beam of light in the otherwise hopeless Wasteland, someone who could never give up, break down, and abandon her vision of herself.
Lucy’s finale was quite the opposite: it brutally destroyed and reinvented her.

Now seems to be a perfect time to start pondering over what future will hold for Fallout’s second season. The show debuted on Amazon Prime earlier this month and was very quick to sweep everyone away leaving the creators no choice but to renew the hit series for another season.
While we’re still quite far away from Fallout’s season 2, the show’s cast has already made the first predictions for their characters’ fate — but one of the main actors’ wishes seem pretty much unfeasible.
While talking to GQ recently, Ella Purnell, who got to portray Lucy MacLean, reflected on her character’s possible future in Fallout’s season 2.
The actress revealed that what she wishes for Lucy mainly boils down to her still being funny because “that’s really fun to do” while also seeing the character as someone who “form some opinions that feel truly and wholly hers,...

The overwhelming praise for Prime Video's Fallout has demonstrated that inspired and absurd video game shows can appeal to modern audiences.
While we're accustomed darker and more serious adaptations, Fallout proves there is room on the schedule for many thematic differences from the gaming world to move to TV. But not all attempts are equal.
Many video game adaptations come across as dark and grim as the show creators try to make their show seem edgy and aggressive, even if the game itself was not.
Sometimes, that backfires on them. But how did that become the prevailing tone in the first place?
We can look at Halo as an example. The Paramount+ series tried to bring a more serious note when all the fans really wanted to see was The Masterchief beat the covenant -- without ever seeing his face. Tying a leading man to the helmet, though, was a giveaway that change was ahead.

This post contains spoilers for "Fallout" season 1.
In its first season, Prime Video's adaptation of the hugely popular video game series "Fallout" follows several heroes and villains who are still working to understand what's real in their worlds. Walton Goggins' movie star character, Cooper Howard, slowly comes to realize that America is making up an apocalypse to sell back to itself, while Brotherhood of Steel squire Maximus quickly learns that the powerful men he idolized as a kid aren't all they're cracked up to be. It's Ella Purnell's Vault-dweller Lucy, though, who gets the biggest reality check when she leaves her underground dwelling to explore a ruthless world with no place for the chipper sense of entitlement she was taught to convey.
Given the themes of the series, it's fitting that it's just as hard to tell what's real and what's not behind-the-scenes of "Fallout" as it is in front of the camera.

The Fallout series, based on the post-apocalyptic game franchise, is making fans fascinated with the fresh concept they brought on-screen. Without adapting the games’ characters and stories, the show has successfully inculcated the Fallout universe events in the show. With the show renewed for another season, fans are excited about what more would the show be serving next.

Prepare to see “Fallout” like you’ve never seen it before. Amazon Prime Video’s latest series may be based on the bestselling video games of the same name, but with new characters and mysteries, it’s sure to surprise even diehard fans.
Set in an alternate version of Earth, the series takes place in the same desolate world as the original games. After advances in nuclear technology following World War II led to the emergence of a retrofuturistic society, an apocalyptic nuclear exchange wiped out Earth as the people of 2077 knew it. Those who could afford it hid in their Vault-Tec vaults. As for the rest of humanity, they were forced to confront the horrors of this new world head on. Now over 200 years after that war, one young Vault Dweller will risk it all and travel to the surface.

Jonathan Nolan’s Fallout adaptation is a success for many reasons, the least of all being its unique sense of identity separate from the games despite being true to the source material in every respect. It is this individuality of the Amazon original series that allows some room for creative liberty while Nolan and his writers’ room build a megalomaniacal post-apocalyptic world spread over the vast wasteland of America.

A Reddit fan theory that has recently been making the rounds might just shock some Fallout loyalists into a state of awe for its M.

Note: This story contains spoilers from “Fallout” Season 1
The Season 1 finale of Prime Video’s “Fallout” left audiences with many unanswered questions around the scientist-turned-New California Republic leader Lee Moldaver, such as how she survived the nuclear apocalypse and her relationship to Lucy’s mother, Rose MacLean.
Sarita Choudhury, who portrays Moldaver, revealed that she “knows enough” about the answers to these questions, but remained tight-lipped.
“I was told enough to play each scene,” she told TheWrap in a recent interview. “When I had the first meeting, I was told a lot, and then as we were shooting… It was so coveted, this information, and the writers are so brilliant, they’re so caring. They wanted to give us everything, but at the same time, they couldn’t give everything. So I know more than you do, but I don’t know as much as them.”

Prime Video’s Fallout has been receiving largely positive reviews, along with critical praise for the performances in the series. Aaron Morten is one such face that the audience familiarized through the series. The actor plays the role of Maximus, an ally to Ella Purnell’s Lucy, in the series. Fans believe that Aaron Morten closely resembles disgraced actor Jonathan Majors and that he could replace Majors as the MCU’s Kang.

Disney fired Kang actor Majors following his guilty conviction on misdemeanor assault and harassment charges filed by his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. Marvel is looking to recast the role, with Colman Domingo and Jon Boyega being some of the names thrown around for the role.

Given the success of Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout Season 1, a follow-up season has now been confirmed. Fans are thrilled as this might address many unanswered questions, and maybe even see a few theories come to fruition. Unanswered as they may seem to us, a lot of the lore is set in stone- either from the games, or with the creative team having mapped out the rest of the show.
The leading cast of Fallout
That said, it doesn’t stop fans from theorizing about what’s to come. And for the hardcore gamers, it begs another question- Did the show change the canon timeline and events as established by the games? Well, yes and no. With a non-linear story, one could argue that Fallout provides the perfect template for creative vision to differ from the games.

Jonathan Nolan’s Fallout TV series has managed to cross all expectations and has been labeled as one of the best video game adaptations of all time by various prestigious publications. The unique approach of treating the show as another installment in the video game series certainly paid off as it was constantly entertaining and remained true to the source material.

Obviously, there is a vast difference between a TV series and a video game but Nolan believes that they had one advantage in terms of storytelling while adapting the game. As for the future seasons, showrunner Graham Wagner explained that he would stick to the eight-episode format as anything more than that would be very challenging for them.

The Fallout games and TV series on Prime Video are full of vile and hideous creatures that fill the wasteland.
With Feral Ghouls, Mirelurks, Radscorpions, and Deathclaws roaming the wasteland, you may be surprised to hear that the vilest antagonist of the Fallout series is actually none of them.
This vile villain that is yet to be introduced formally is part of a "superhuman' race of humans called the Super Mutants. These vile and grotesque beings plague the wasteland, all because of our favorite little company.

Aaron Moten was not exactly familiar with “Fallout,” the game, when “Fallout,” the TV show, came to him. “I think if I had seen a poster, if I had seen a photograph of the T-60 — the big power armor suit — I would’ve recognized it to be ‘Fallout,’ but yeah, totally new to me,” he tells Gold Derby (watch the exclusive video interview above). “The world, the deep dive, if you will.”
The actor did a deep dive into gamers and Twitch streamers to prep for his audition, but after landing the part of Maximus, he made a conscious choice not to play the game. “My job as an actor always feels like bringing a human element to something. I felt that if I jumped into the video game, I think I’d be overly concerned with other things happening on set than what I need to be concerned with,...

Brad Pitt’s character ‘One Punch’ Mickey in the film Snatch had to be dirty, smelly, and scruffy and the actor was willing to go the extra mile for the demands of the character. The character was part of a gypsy-like group of Irish travelers and Pitt decided not to wash himself to get into the skin of his character. Interestingly, old habits die hard for Pitt, who reportedly found a way around having to wash himself regularly.

When starring in the Quentin Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds, Pitt gave a tip to co-star Eli Roth on how to avoid taking a shower and still look fresh. It appears that the star has broken his personal hygiene code too many times for his roles.

The actress, 27, has successfully ventured into the video game industry with Netflix’s Arcane, an animated series based on League of Legends, after previously finding success with Home for Peculiar Children, Army of the Dead, and Yellowjackets.
The English actor does, however, display a more upbeat side as Lucy in the latest drama series, Fallout. During the first season’s eight-episode series, viewers will witness Lucy’s development from an eternally upbeat vault dweller with an all-American gumption to a more seasoned survivor who can handle the dangers and quirks of the wasteland.

The Fallout show, just like the Bethesda games it is based on, is set in an apocalypse caused by the dropping of nuclear bombs.
The resulting post-apocalyptic world of Fallout is full of misfit creatures and characters, including Walton Goggins' Ghoul - an irradiated mutant human and an example of what happens to those exposed to the nuclear wasteland.
The series also introduces Ella Purnell as Lucy, a resident of Vault-Tec's Vault 33, just one of many nuclear blast shelters created to preserve humanity in the wake of nuclear war.
