Fallout TV Series Enlists Army of Dead and Yellowjackets Star Ella Purnell For Leading Role

A new addition to the cast of the upcoming Fallout TV series has been announced, with Ella Purnell joining Walton Goggins for the Amazon Prime Video show, which is set to enter production later this year.

Deadline reports that Purnell will be playing a character named Jean, described as “a young woman with a can-do attitude who may be hiding a dangerous secret.” Meanwhile, Goggins will apparently be portraying a ghoul.

As for Purnell, her previous credits include Netflix's Army of the Dead, horror series Yellowjackets, and the voice of Jinx in League of Legends animated series, Arcane. Beyond the recent cast additions, there's very little solid info on the Fallout TV series, other than confirmation that Westworld alums Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy are on board as executive producers.
