Arcane star Ella Purnell joins the live-action Fallout series in a lead role
Variety reports that 25-year-old English Actress Ella Purnell will be joining Amazon’s Fallout live-action series. She is cast in a lead role and will be joining the cast that so far only includes Walton Goggins, who is also cast in a lead role.
Besides Purnell’s and Goggins’ casting, not much is known about the Fallout series. It’s unknown if Purnell and Goggins will play any named characters from the games or brand new creations. The live-action series is made in partnership with Amazon Studios and Bethesda Game Studios. The series is expected to go into production later this year.
The games center around a group of survivors who come out of their fallout shelters and find themselves in the post-apocalyptic USA filled with mutants. The games draw heavily from 1940s American aesthetics and are heavily influenced by the threat of nuclear war during the cold war.
Fallout wouldn’t be the first time Purnell has joined a video game adaptation. She voiced Jinx in the highly acclaimed Arcane animated series on Netflix, which earned her an Annie Award for best voice-over performance. Purnell also received praise for her performance in Showtime’s hit drama Yellowjackets. She has also been featured in films like Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.
