In this interview with Refinery29 Australia, Ella Purnell talks the new Fallout TV series and why she loves playing women in survival mode.
Set in 2296, almost 200 years since civilisation was wiped out by a nuclear apocalypse, the series watches as three protagonists try to survive in an apocalyptic wasteland, where bottle caps are currency and finding fresh water that hasn't been poisoned with radiation is an uphill battle. We follow Maximus (Aaron Moten) — a member of a militaristic faction dubbed the Brotherhood of Steel. Then there's The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) — a mutated survivor who's spent a bit too much time with radiation. Finally, we've got Lucy (Ella Purnell) a cheery all-American Vault Dweller who has spent her entire life in an underground bunker community... until now.
