“Justified” alum Walton Goggins is set to lead the TV series adaptation of Bethesda Softworks’ “Fallout” video games for Amazon Prime.
The story unfolds in a post-apocalyptic and retro-futuristic setting in the mid-22nd century – decades after a global nuclear war. We follow dwellers in long-term nuclear shelters forced to venture out into the atomic wastes to find essential replacement equipment for the Vault.
Goggins is believed to be playing a Ghoul, a mutated human who experienced prolonged radiation exposure amid the Great War.
The game series has had multiple entries to date and has been critically acclaimed since the first title back in 1997.
Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner are attached to serve as co-showrunners and executive producers, while Jonathan Nolan will direct the pilot. Nolan, Lisa Joy, Athena Wickham, Todd Howard and James Altman will executive produce.
Filming is slated to begin in 2022.
