Jonathan Nolan is currently busy with the Fallout series on Prime Video. Based on one of the greatest video game franchises of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. You can check out the official synopsis below.
“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.”
Starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, Aaron Moten, and Kyle MacLachlan, the first season of Fallout has been a huge success for the streamer, and has now been renewed for a second season.
All episodes of the
Fallout
series are now available to stream on Prime Video.
