Ella Purnellis about to become one of the biggest breakout stars in televisionwhenFallout, the new big-budget sci-fi video game adaptation from Amazon drops on Prime Video later this month. However, that’s not the only big series she’ll be lending her talents to. Last year it was announced that Purnell would be voicing a character in the hit animated seriesInvincible, fromRobert Kirkman.Now, Purnell has offered a little nugget of information about what fans can expect from her “cameo” on the show, having already played Jane, a friend of Riley (Chloe Bennet), and an archaeologist with super strength.The voice cast, featuringSteven Yeun,J.K. Simmons, andSandra Oh, among others, has received acclaim for bringing depth and nuance to their characters.
Speaking to Collider’sSteve Weintraub, while promoting her upcoming role inFallout, Purnell was asked about her part inInvincibleand, while she couldn’t go into specifics about it, did tease that it was a “little Easter egg”.
“You know what? It’s a little cameo role. I don’t think I can say anymore than that. It’s not for very long. It’s a little callback to a Season 1 bit. It’s a little Easter egg. I don’t know if anyone will even notice, but I don’t know. We’ll see! I can’t quite remember. I also did that duringFallout, I think. On a Sunday.”
Who Does Ella Purnell Play in ‘Fallout’ and What Is It About?
Purnell’s next project though, is that video game adaptation for Prime Video,Fallout. The series follows in the footsteps of the acclaimed series,which is known for its post-apocalyptic themes, dark humour, and the moral complexities of survivalin a radically transformed world following horrendous nuclear warfare.
Purnell plays Lucy in the show, which is an adaptation of the popular Bethesda video game franchise.Lucy is depicted as an optimistic Vault Dweller with an all-American, can-do spirit. Her character is central to the narrative, and her peaceful and idealistic nature is tested when harm comes to her loved ones. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the series follows Lucy as she navigates the challenges and dangers of life after nuclear devastation. Through Lucy, the series explores themes of survival, community, and resilience in the face of adversity.
Ella Purnell is Currently Winning Hearts in the ‘Fallout’ Wasteland
Purnell is becoming a household name very quickly thanks in part to her big, starring role as the world’s most optimistic, polite, and happy-go-lucky vault dweller in the wasteland,Lucy, in Prime Video’s big-budget video game adaptation,Fallout, fromJonathan Nolan. Lucy begins the series as a perky, vault-born cheerleader of the apocalypse to a tough-as-nailswasteland warriorwho knows how to handle the bizarre dangers out there. The series shows Lucy’s progression as she improves her abilities the longer the season goes on,just like leveling up in the game. Just as gamers buff up their character with killer skills and gear, Lucy gets to pick her own poison when it comes to weaponry and tactics. And just like in the game, how she navigates the story’s twists and turns is up to her — well, as much as any scripted TV show allows.
