Fallout TV: 8 Easter Eggs From the Trailer

Amazon Prime's Fallout series received its first trailer, and many exciting easter eggs can be found for hardcore fans.

Fans were especially captivated by Prime Video's Fallout TV show poster featuring Lucy (played by Ella Purnell), described as ‘an optimistic Vault Dweller with an all-American can-do spirit’ in an Amazon Prime press release. Shortly after its release, speculation began to brew on Reddit. The main point of discussion was the enigmatic package positioned beside her legs, sparking theories and speculations among enthusiasts after user calamity_unbound noticed a potentially gruesome detail.

Some theories floating around suggest that the package could be a severed head, possibly belonging to Wilzig (played by Michael Emerson). Reddit's user u/Armirite highlighted a potential connection, "The magazine they dropped on the show put in quotes said they wanted what was in a scientist's head, and it’s like he clearly knows something but it’s in quotes and this is Fallout." This theory seems to have garnered agreement from other Redditors. On the flip side, some Fallout fans speculate that the item might be a "hobo-esque travel pack," as described by u/Wyntier, or more specifically, a bindle.

The Fallout TV series is set 200 years after the apocalypse, following a community forced to leave their luxury fallout shelters and return to the irradiated hellscape left behind by their ancestors. In a version of Los Angeles devastated by nuclear war in the year 2077, the series explores the challenges faced by Lucy as she ventures beyond her Vault for the first time, encountering a complex, weird, and violent universe. Remaining faithful to the game's essence, the narrative of the Fallout series ensures to seamlessly blend the harsh realities of post-apocalyptic survival with the deep lore and dark humor that are hallmarks of the franchise.

Other Fallout characters include the young soldier 'Maximus,' portrayed by Aaron Moten, the Bounty Hunter 'The Ghoul,' played by Walton Goggins, Lucy's father 'Overseer Hank,' depicted by Kyle MacLachlan, and the dog companion 'CX404,' navigating the post-apocalyptic landscape. As one of the best-selling video game franchises globally, the anticipation for the Fallout TV series is steadily growing.

Excitement for the Fallout series continues to grow with each new teaser. Overall, fans appear satisfied and optimistic about the upcoming adaptation of the beloved game. Most fans likely hope the Fallout TV show can continue the trend of successful video game adaptations like HBO's The Last of Us, Chris Pratt's The Super Mario Bros. Movie, or Paramount's live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movies. Time will tell, but fans are optimistic.

Fallout is set to premiere on Prime Video on April 12th, 2024.

Fallout

Fallout is a post-apocalyptic RPG franchise created by Interplay Entertainment and developed by Black Isle Studios before Bethesda Softworks took over the IP in 2004. The series features a retrofuturistic style following a nuclear war that devastated the game's world. Players typically inhabit a Vault Dweller, someone who remains safe in an underground shelter, appearing in the post-apocalyptic world where a problem needs to be solved. While the older games were more tactical RPGs, Fallout 3 took the franchise into the first-person shooter genre while retaining the RPG elements.
