Several new faces are set to appear in Fallout for the upcoming third season. Emily Mortimer (Jay Kelly, Doll & Em), Manny Jacinto (The Acolyte, Freakier Friday), and Thomasin McKenzie (Eileen, Jojo Rabbit), will join the cast of the hit series.
Fallout is based on a video game series of the same name. It is one of the most beloved and culturally relevant video games of all time. Two hundred years after Nuclear war, the world is divided into those who live in luxury and security in the vaults and those who have scraped by on the brutal surface. After their long period of solace, the citizens of the vaults must venture out into the real world.
The series follows the same basic concept, centering on Ella Purnell’s (Yellowjackets, Sweetpea) Lucy Mclean, who must journey to rescue her father after he is abducted by raiders. On the surface, she will find that it and the vaults hold secrets. There is also Maximus, played by Aaron Motten (Father Stu, Emancipation), a squire in the Brotherhood of Steel, a religious order of knights who fancy themselves the last peacekeepers of the surface. Maximus strives to become a knight and earn his armor, the mechanized suits that many fans associate with the game. Lastly, there is The Ghoul, played by Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, Vice Principals), a near-immortal mutant who is older than the nuclear fallout. He awakes from a period of slumber and sets out on a quest for vengeance.
Additional cast members include Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet), Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Frances Turner (The Boys, The Man In The High Castle), Annabel O’Hagan (Rent Free, Law&Order, Special Victims Unit), and Dave Register (FBI, The Witch Files). Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad, Need For Speed) was also recently announced to be joining the cast.
Fallout is produced by Kilter Films, and the series streams on Prime Video. Executive producers include Jonathan Nolan (Westworld, The Prestige), Lisa Joy (Westworld, Reminiscence), Athena Wickham (Westworld, Person Of Interest), Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Captain Marvel, Tomb Raider), Graham Wagner (The Office, Portlandia), Todd Howard (Fallout 3, Fallout 4), James Altman (Super Troopers, Fallout), and Margot Lulick (Westworld, Person Of Interest).
