Walton Goggins has played gunslingers before. He’s been a renegade sheriff in The Hateful Eight, an outlaw on Justified, a Navy Seal on Six and a trigger-happy train robber in Shanghai Noon — but Fallout marks the first time he’s been two versions of one cowboy.
In Prime Video’s adaptation of the popular video game franchise, Goggins portrays Cooper Howard, a Hollywood Western has-been making ends meet as the lasso-spinning entertainment at kids’ parties. He’s also The Ghoul, a radioactive bounty hunter hardened by two centuries of wandering in a post-nuclear hellscape.
Set in 23rd century dystopian L.A. some 220 years after an atomic bomb decimated the U.S., the first season follows Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell), an intrepid vault dweller who leaves her underground community in search of her kidnapped father (Kyle MacLachlan).

What Do We Know About the upcoming second season of Prime Video’s hit video game adaptation Fallout? More than you may think. A hit from the moment it premiered, Jonathan Nolan helped shepherd the fan favorite game franchise from consoles and PCs to televisions by creating a wholly original story alongside showrunners and creators Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet. Let’s dive in and take a look at what is coming up next in the world of Fallout.

It took nearly 15 years for Sofía Vergara to land Griselda at Netflix, but when it was finally time to step into the notorious Colombian drug lord’s heels, the Modern Family star was filled with doubt. “There were a million things that I was nervous about, mainly my performance,” she says. “This was my first time acting in Spanish, my first time doing drama, and I was nervous if I was going to be able to convince people that it wasn’t just Gloria Pritchett with a plastic nose.” To Vergara’s delight, the reception has been nothing but effusive. “It’s a risk to do something like this, because you never know,” she says. “To realize people actually love it, it’s a gift.”

Though she struggled with a sense of identity in her youth, Maya Erskine is now right where she belongs, starring in two hit shows. From playing a fierce undercover spy in Prime Video’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith, to a roving warrior on a quest for vengeance in Netflix’s Blue Eye Samurai, Erskine’s career goes from strong to stronger. Initially known for breakout cringe comedy PEN15, Erskine left behind her portrayal of the charmingly crude adolescence of a seventh-grade girl for the dangerous worlds of espionage and Edo Japan. Here, the actor opens up about identity, vulnerability and playing complicated women on television.
Deadline: I read that you didn’t do a chemistry read for Mr. & Mrs. Smith. What was the process of being cast on the show?
Maya Erskine: It started with phone calls from Donald [Glover]. Carmen Cuba, the casting director said, “Can I give your number to Donald?...

Halfway through True Detective: Night Country, Kali Reis’ character experiences a loss so traumatic it would make most people lose their minds. Steely State Trooper Evangeline Navarro has but one way of coping with the situation: She instigates a brawl, in essence begging for a physical manifestation of her pain. Watching one of the most heart-wrenching sequences of the anthology series play out, and Reis’ portrayal of her stoic character’s momentary collapse, it is near impossible to comprehend that this is only the 37-year-old’s third on-screen role.
To those who have followed her career, Reis is still best known as a champion boxer with six world titles in two weight classes under her belt. All this to say, Reis has never been afraid of hard work and discipline. But her move from competitive sports to acting was not the kind of career evolution she had consciously been looking for.

Gillian Anderson has been a British national treasure for many years. This may seem incongruous to state definitively of a Chicago-born actress who first rose to prominence playing an FBI agent on a hit network show, but it is what it is. The year The X-Files ended, Anderson moved to London, and she has lived there ever since. She had spent her earliest childhood years in the city. Sorry America, it doesn’t matter what her passport says: at this point, Anderson has lived as much of her life in the UK as outside it, and the country is very keen to claim her.
Anderson’s Anglophilia runs deep, you see, and more than perhaps any other American acting transplant, she has earned her stripes. With the financial freedom The X-Files offered, she was called back to London to tread the boards, and from her earliest appearances on the West...

It’s a late April afternoon when Shōgun breakout star Anna Sawai, who stars as the fierce Lady Toda Mariko in the gorgeously wrought, sharply modernized adaptation of James Clavell’s 1975 bestseller, spots castmate Tadanobu Asano and producer-star Hiroyuki Sanada across a studio floor. Her face lights up. It hasn’t even been a week since FX’s runaway hit historical drama ended its debut season on a breathtaking note of bittersweet catharsis, having enthralled viewers over 10 episodes with its sweeping saga of survival and sacrifice in 17th Century Japan. But as the rising actress reunites with her Shōgun co-stars, a new charge of electricity crackles in the air.
Mariko-sama, Lord Yoshii Toranaga, and the impish schemer Kashigi Yabushige, together again in another life. The trio has traveled from far-flung cities to mark a groundbreaking moment in which Shōgun is setting sail for a new destination: the Emmys.

Walton Goggins was heavily praised for his portrayal of The Ghoul in Amazon Prime’s Fallout series, but behind the exceptional delivery was an anxious actor who believed he wouldn’t be able to give justice to the character.

The Emmy-nominated star initially had doubts if he could pull off and survive the project after he was met with struggles on the set. Transforming into The Ghoul was not a comfortable situation, and that has affected the actor’s confidence.

Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner are longtime friends, but the two had never worked together. “Fallout” proved to be the perfect starting point. “Graham wrote one of my very favorite unproduced pilots ever, which was to the great ‘Star Trek’ show ‘Worf,’ which Graham always described as the ‘Baskets’ of a ‘Star Trek’ show,” Robertson-Dworet tells Gold Derby (watch above). “But I think what it showed me was that he has a really unique sensibility and he brought to that show — which is a very popular world that has been explored and very serious sci-fi tone for a long time — a lot of just sort of surprising comedy. And I think that was what ‘Fallout’ needed and I was very excited to partner with my longtime friend Graham. And when [Jonathan Nolan] offered me the IP for ‘Fallout,’ I knew I was never gonna do it alone. I was only...

The Fallout game series was one of the pioneers of GenX and Millennial storytelling.
When creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky created a post-apocalyptic vision of human civilization gone awry (but never one to lose its sense of humor), the open world narrative eschewed labels of Good and Evil.
The Fallout universe was made of multiple factions, each one selfish, every character a survivalist in their own way.
These political and social plots explored the diversity of human thinking, teaching us concepts of anarchy that were foreign to even 1990s American cinema.
Now that the Fallout series on Prime based on the Bethesda game has debuted, it has the nearly impossible task of trying to humanize a game that was all but designed to escape humanity.
The show is a big hit and most likely the best video game to TV show adaptation we will ever see, thanks to the clever mind of Jonathan Nolan.

The new live-action "Fallout" TV series, recently renewed for Season 2 streaming, stars Walton Goggins as a bounty hunter, adapting the Interplay Entertainment, Bethesda post-apocalyptic video game, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video:

Walton Goggins and Timothy Olyphant starred in Justified for six seasons, but by the end of its FX run, the actors were not on the best of terms.
Goggins first opened up about his fractured relationship with his co-star in Peter Biskind’s book Pandora’s Box: How Guts, Guile, and Greed Upended TV. In a new interview, Goggins once again said he and Olyphant “weren’t talking” by the show’s series finale.
“We had a tough time towards the end of Justified,” Goggins told The Independent. “We were so deep into these people we were playing, and they were so polar opposite at this point in the story… I think we were both obsessed with our own points of view, just carrying the weight of this conflict.”
However, with time passing, the two seem to have mended things, with Goggins reflecting and saying, “I think we just needed to separate,...

In Prime Video’s Fallout TV show, The Ghoul is not your average stranger. This mysterious man is a feared bounty hunter, a fierce warrior, and an enigma throughout the first season: even as you learn more about him, it still feels like you’ve barely tapped into his centuries-long story and have no clue about what he’s been through during his countless adventures and hunts.
But one recent fan theory makes an excellent job of answering one question about The Ghoul… And raising countless others.
Have We Already Met The Ghoul?
According to Reddit user JudgeKhan’s speculation, everyone who’s played a Fallout game at least once has already met The Ghoul before Prime Video’s TV show. Wait, scratch that. Everyone who has played a Fallout game and picked a very specific perk at least once has already met The Ghoul before Prime Video’s TV show.

This post contains spoilers for "Fallout" season 1.
In its first season, Prime Video's adaptation of the hugely popular video game series "Fallout" follows several heroes and villains who are still working to understand what's real in their worlds. Walton Goggins' movie star character, Cooper Howard, slowly comes to realize that America is making up an apocalypse to sell back to itself, while Brotherhood of Steel squire Maximus quickly learns that the powerful men he idolized as a kid aren't all they're cracked up to be. It's Ella Purnell's Vault-dweller Lucy, though, who gets the biggest reality check when she leaves her underground dwelling to explore a ruthless world with no place for the chipper sense of entitlement she was taught to convey.
Given the themes of the series, it's fitting that it's just as hard to tell what's real and what's not behind-the-scenes of "Fallout" as it is in front of the camera.

Prepare to see “Fallout” like you’ve never seen it before. Amazon Prime Video’s latest series may be based on the bestselling video games of the same name, but with new characters and mysteries, it’s sure to surprise even diehard fans.
Set in an alternate version of Earth, the series takes place in the same desolate world as the original games. After advances in nuclear technology following World War II led to the emergence of a retrofuturistic society, an apocalyptic nuclear exchange wiped out Earth as the people of 2077 knew it. Those who could afford it hid in their Vault-Tec vaults. As for the rest of humanity, they were forced to confront the horrors of this new world head on. Now over 200 years after that war, one young Vault Dweller will risk it all and travel to the surface.

"Fallout," Prime Video's stellar adaptation of the popular video game, is proving a hit with critics and fans since its April 10 debut. The fact the show has managed to faithfully recreate the expansive world of the video games on which it's based is impressive enough. But "Fallout" is also noteworthy for debuting original characters that fit effortlessly into the universe first established back in 1997, when the first game arrived. Among those characters, Walton Goggins' The Ghoul might be the series' most compelling.
In his 2016 review of HBO's "Vice Principals," The New York Times' Mike Hale wrote that Goggins "makes a habit of being the best thing about the television shows he's in." That arguably hasn't changed since, with the "Righteous Gemstones" star delivering an effortlessly charismatic turn as the irradiated bounty hunter in "Fallout." From the very beginning, Goggins' mutated gunslinger exudes an alluring magnetism, which, considering the actor was covered in extensive prosthetics,...

Walton Goggins, in a gruesome starring role in Prime Video’s apocalyptic sci-fi series Fallout, said he knew he knew he was in for “an intense experience” having to transform every day on set into The Ghoul, a post-human character with melting flesh, a cowboy persona and some semblance of his humanity still left.
But at Saturday’s Deadline Contenders Television panel, the perennial character actor — beaming in from overseas, where he is shooting The White Lotus — said the task of transformation proved to be “extremely anxiety provoking” at first. He had to figure out how to express himself under a thin layer of sweat-inducing facial prosthesis designed to make him look almost skeletal and how to be a walking, wisecracking horror show with a retainer in his mouth to simulate the absence of teeth.

Bethesda’s cult classic post-apocalyptic franchise Fallout has finally made the leap from games to TV series, as the long-awaited show is finally streaming on Amazon Prime. The series was brought to life by Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy.
Channeling the iconic 1960s aesthetic, the show opens with a jaw-dropping nuclear explosion that would make any action movie jealous. While some fans are concerned about erasure problems with Fallout New Vegas, the show is largely acclaimed for its accurate depiction of the wasteland, for which the actors had to go through hell.

"Fallout" spoilers follow.
The highly anticipated "Fallout" live-action adaptation is finally here and it lives up to expectations. This is a post-apocalyptic story that is simple enough to be universal — a girl searching for her kidnapped father, while multiple stories converge around a bounty. And yet, much like James Cameron's "Avatar," it is the worldbuilding that is the star. This is not Pandora, of course, but the wasteland, a nuclear landscape that is still as tangible as George Miller's "Mad Max" world, full of history and lore.
The show brings the games to life through some exquisite production design. Every aspect of the wasteland, from the ruins of the old world to the many mutated creatures roaming it, to the game's unique brands scattered throughout, and the detailed vaults that safeguard the remnants of non-radiated humanity. Like the games, there's a lot of visual storytelling going on here,...

The ingenuity of the "Fallout" video games extends beyond their post-apocalyptic worldbuilding and snazzy combat mechanics — they are role-playing experiences that feel intuitive, bizarre, and challenging all at once. To capture these medium-specific idiosyncrasies in a television adaptation of a beloved franchise is a tall order, and Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan's "Fallout" understands what it means to inhabit such a broken, retrofuturist society. The end of the first season of "Fallout" is also the beginning, as it promises a new world and sets the stage for chaos and order, with the sway of the pendulum suspended until darker truths emerge. For franchise enthusiasts, it is a familiar story reinvented in meaningful, riveting ways. For newcomers, it is an intriguing post-apocalyptic setting that oscillates between gleeful sarcasm and heartbreaking pathos.

After starting out as a post-apocalyptic video game series, “Fallout” is finally stepping out of the vault and onto TV screens.
From Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the masterminds behind HBO’s “Westworld,” Prime Video’s “Fallout” takes viewers back to the 1960s before blowing things up — literally. A jaw-dropping nuclear explosion, rivaling the skull-rattling blast seen in Nolan’s brother Christopher’s best picture winner “Oppenheimer,” kicks off the series, before then jumping over 200 years into the future. The majority of the show takes place in a retro-futuristic wasteland full of underground vault dwellers, psychotic bandits and irradiated monsters.
“Fallout” started as a role-playing computer game in 1997, which became popular enough to spawn a sequel a year later. The franchise really caught on with 2008’s “Fallout 3” when video game developer Bethesda — behind such hits as the “Elder Scrolls” fantasy games, and most recently sci-fi title “Starfield” — acquired the rights.

This Fallout review contains no spoilers.
Prime Video’s TV adaptation of Fallout does something the games in the legendary franchise never have—put storytelling above all else. The show does lovingly recreate the nuclear Wasteland in a way that stays faithful to the series, but the story is all-new and unexpectedly thought-provoking. The TV characters are far more complex than their video game counterparts as well, though to be fair they do have the advantage of not having to stand unnaturally still while looking straight into the camera whenever they have something to say.
One of our main protagonists is Cooper Howard (the great Walton Goggins), a washed-up Western star who we meet in cowboy garb twirling his lasso at a kids’ birthday party in ‘50s Los Angeles to make ends meet. He’s taken his daughter to work, and suddenly to her horror, she sees a mushroom cloud...

"Fallout" avoids the big flaw of most video game adaptations by throwing away the plot and instead focusing on letting the audience live in this fantastical world. It doesn't mess with the games' storylines, it doesn't contradict player agency, and it just lets "Fallout" be "Fallout."
Indeed, the true star of the show isn't Walton Goggin's hot ghoul or Ella Purnell's vault dweller, but the production design. The world of "Fallout" feels as big and detailed as "Foundation" or "Rings of Power," while still feeling as desolate as "The Last of Us." The show has a unique atom-punk retrofuturism style that somehow combines robots and Bing Crosby. The story takes place over 200 years after nuclear war destroyed the planet, with a small percentage of the population surviving by hiding in underground vaults. Every part of the show feels tactile and lived-in, from the robots to the ruined buildings and the vaults,...

After a particularly harrowing setback to his mission in The Fallout, the new series from Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy (Westworld), a bounty hunter known as The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) makes the executive decision to change course entirely. Although his less experienced traveling companion/prisoner protests, The Ghoul knows better. “The wasteland’s got its own golden rule,” he snarls. “Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every time.”
That most of Prime Video’s Fallout consists of getting sidetracked by bullshit is simultaneously one of its main charms and one of its most frustrating flaws. At its liveliest, the sci-fi adventure captures the fun of simply getting to explore a strange new world, meeting colorful characters and going down mysterious rabbit holes. But the lack of urgency also means its eight hours take an awfully long time to get where it’s going.

Walton Goggins’ The Ghoul in the upcoming Fallout TV show is already a hot topic, and for good reason. It’s not just his acting that’s getting people excited, but also the way they came up with his distinctive macabre look.
In a recent interview, Goggins talked about how he worked closely with the show’s team to make sure his Ghoul makeup wouldn’t scare people away. Instead, he wanted to make them want to know more about his character.

Fallout – the post-apocalyptic drama series based on the RPG franchise of the same name is at the cusp of release.

The series has been making headlines, as Fallout the game is one of Bethesda’s most popular franchises.

Another reason fans are looking forward to the release of the show is because so far, very few games that have been adapted into live-action have been able to do well among the audiences. But given both Joy and Nolan have created some really special projects till now, expectations are high.

Recently, Christopher Nolan made an interesting admission: The most famous line from his fan-favorite Batman film, 2008’s The Dark Knight, wasn’t his creation and was a line that he initially didn’t quite get. Nolan said his brother, frequent collaborator and co-writer Jonathan came up with the prophetic line, “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
“I’m plagued by a line from The Dark Knight, and I’m plagued by it because I didn’t write it,” Nolan told Deadline last month. “My brother wrote it. It kills me, because it’s the line that most resonates. And at the time, I didn’t even understand it … I read it in his draft, and I was like, ‘All right, I’ll keep it in there, but I don’t really know what it means. Is that really a thing?...

Surprise, but no surprise: X Chairman and SpaceX founder Elon Musk made a cameo at Prime Video’s Fallout experience on SXSW Thursday night.
While not an everyday occurrence in Hollywood, Musk’s appearance wasn’t shocking as he’s a longtime friends with Fallout EP and director Jonathan Nolan. Not to mention, Musk reportedly lives in the Austin area.
In fact, Nolan sat down for a long conversation with Musk back at SXSW 2018 in which they canvassed several topics including SpaceX’s timeline for Mars exploration as well as hopes for an underground high-speed transportation system in Los Angeles. This all culminated with Musk and his brother singing a rendition of “My Little Butter Cup” from the Steve Martin-Chevy Chase-Martin Short 1980s comedy, The Three Amigos (watch below). It was a trippy experience that bears repeating, specifically because we need a post-pandemic update on SpaceX’s Mars mission.

The official trailer for Prime Video’s Fallout has a lot going on in three minutes, as it presents the main characters in more detail, tries to give information about the story, and showcases the aftermath of a nuclear war. But out of all of those aspects, there’s one that stands out the most, promising an extraordinary arc and development.
That element is none other than The Ghoul, played by Walton Goggins, who’s described as “a morally ambiguous bounty hunter,” but before the world went into chaos and turned into a radiated hellscape, the character had a whole other life with a regular name and a different but similarly nefarious job.

It’s finally here, as Prime Video has dropped the biggest trailer of the year so far, blowing us all away with their Fallout TV show – at least on first impressions anyway. Select journalists were invited to attend a behind-the-scenes press conference last night, which has allowed us to take more time to break apart the trailer and pick apart some of the more fun easter eggs present, including one massive one that’ll please the most stalwart of Fallout 3 fans.
Prime Video Looks to the Past as Much as the Present
Past and present have always been a huge theme in the Fallout universe, with many stories focused on not repeating the same mistakes others made years prior. It seems that this looking back mantra is somewhat followed by the show as well, with a clear past and present storyline going on for Walter Goggins ‘The Ghoul’, who is more involved than first thought,...

Prime Video’s official trailer for Fallout, based on the wildly popular video game series, opens with a dapper-looking Walton Goggins promoting nuclear fallout shelters known as Vaults. However, Goggins loses his spiffy attire as the trailer continues, transforming into The Ghoul in what’s become a post-apocalyptic hellscape known as the Wasteland.
The trailer also provides an extended look at Lucy, a naïve Vault Dweller who’s shocked to discover people are living outside of the safety of shelters, and Maximus, a member of the Brotherhood of Steel. There’s plenty of action, comedy, and chaos in the trailer, capped off by a wink at the end.
Prime Video hosted a press conference prior to the trailer’s online debut with series stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) and Aaron Moten (Emancipation).

Not only do the creators seem to understand the variety of tones that accompany the rich universe, but it genuinely feels like a high-budget production that may actually end up delivering on numerous fronts.
Where the original footage was more of a generalized look at the show, the new trailer showcases more details about its characters and world, suggesting that the beloved game franchise may be getting adapted by the right team and is in safe hands.
The Fallout Trailer Puts More Focus on the Show’s Characters Meet The Ghoul, played by Walton Goggins, who looks like he may steal every scene he’s in when Fallout releases.

The Fallout franchise launched in 1997 to rave reviews and has been one of the most popular videogame universes since.
Later this year, Fallout will hit the small screen with a star-studded TV adaptation that will get fans of the franchise talking.
The series, which takes place in a nuclear wasteland, is sure to have many built-in fans thanks to the video games.
But even new viewers should be intrigued by its post-apocalyptic backdrop.
The Last of Us reached a whole new audience when it launched on HBO in 2023, so there’s every possibility the same fate will await Fallout if it lives up to expectations.

When does Fallout premiere?
After years in development, Fallout is set to premiere on Prime Video territories worldwide on Friday, April 12, 2024.

Alongside all the mutant mayhem, the terrifying monster brawls, and the ‘just one more hour’ gameplay, the :a[Fallout games]{href='https://www.empireonline.com/gaming/reviews/fallout-4-review/' target='blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'} have always come with a hefty dollop of satire – whether it’s the winking aesthetic steeped in ’50s Americana, or the pointed notion of what exactly goes down inside Vault-Tec’s underground shelters.

Amazon’s Prime Video has released the first teaser for Fallout, its series based on the hugely popular video game franchise.
The 2 1/2-minute teaser (watch it below), unveiled at the Ccxp convention in São Paulo, showcases the scale of the game and several darkly comedic moments, with a tone set by a title card noting it’s from “the studio behind The Boys … and free 2-day shipping” and Nat King Cole’s “I Don’t Want to See Tomorrow” providing the soundtrack.
