Fallout TV Series — Release Date, Cast And More Info

The “Fallout” TV show stars Ella Purnell (“Yellowjackets,” “Arcane”) as Lucy, while Kyle MacLachlan (“Dune,” “Twin Peaks”) plays her father, the “overseer” of Vault 33. Aaron Moten (“Next”) plays the squire Maxiumus, and Walton Goggins (“Justified”) plays The Ghoul. 

Elsewhere, Moisés Arias (“Monos”) is set to play Lucy’s brother, Sarita Choudhury (“Homeland”) will play a leader in the wasteland, and Michael Emerson (“Lost,” “Evil”) plays the enigmatic researcher Wilzig.

This is a rather exciting cast, and the ensemble of characters teases a story with an epic scope, showing how vast the world of “Fallout” is even after nuclear armageddon. 

Of course, out of the known members of the cast, the piece of casting that caused most chatter online is that of Walton Goggins as The Ghoul. Ghouls are a staple of the “Fallout” games, zombie-like mutants affected by hundreds of years’ worth of radiation. While most ghouls you encounter are essentially just mindless zombies, there are entire settlements of intelligent — and darkly funny — mutants. That Goggins is not only one of the intelligent mutants, but a bounty hunter makes this a very exciting storyline.
