It’s going to be a while before we get the next season of HBO’s The Last of Us, but Amazon has teamed up with Westworld’s Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy for an adaptation of the hit game Fallout. The series is set to premiere this April, and we have a set of new character posters.
Check these out:

With the world of Fallout having some rich lore behind it, it does look like the show is going to be exploring characters that belong to three different factions from the game.
Lucy (Ella Purnell) is a vault-dweller who finds herself going outside into the Wasteland; Maximus (Aaron Moten) is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel and is in charge of restoring order to the post-apocalyptic world; and The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), who is a bounty hunter who used to belong to a vault based on the trailer.
You’ll also notice that the fictional product of Nuka Cola is prominent in all three posters. In the game Nuka Cola caps are considered a form of currency and are highly valuable.
We don’t know how the Fallout series will fare when it releases, but with a great world and some great producers behind it, we should expect something special when it comes to this adaptation.
Here’s the official description for the series:
In a future, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles brought about by nuclear decimation, citizens must live in underground bunkers to protect themselves from radiation, mutants and bandits.
Amazon’s Fallout series is set to premiere on April 12.
