Here's the official synopsis:
"Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, 'Fallout' is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there's almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them. From executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the creators of 'Westworld,' starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, Moises Arias, Johnny Pemberton, and Kyle MacLachlan."
The dynamic creative pair of Nolan and Joy will head up the writing team and will also be executive producing the ambitious project with their production company, Kilter Films, in conjunction with Bethesda Softworks and Bethesda Game Studios. Kilter Films' Athena Wickham, Bethesda Softworks' James Altman, and Bethesda Game Studios' Todd Howard will also serve as series executive producers.
"Fallout's" eight-episode first season debuts all chapters on April, 11 on Amazon Prime Video.
