With the vast world of Fallout now on display in Amazon Prime Video's TV adaptation, Screen Rant put together a complete guide for the show's most essential elements, including characters, locations, and lore. Based on the video game franchise launched in 1997, Fallout instantly became one of the most anticipated video game adaptations since its official development announcement in 2020. Rather than adapt any specific game or popular spinoff, the Fallout show blends notable aspects of the post-apocalyptic world with a thrilling narrative set in the game franchise's canon.
