The Fallout TV series was filmed across several locations in the United States and Namibia, combining real deserts, ghost towns, and urban sites to create the wasteland look.

Main filming locations

  • United States (primary) : California, Utah, New York, New Jersey, Nevada.
  • Africa (key wasteland setting) : Kolmanskop in Namibia, a real ghost town on the Skeleton Coast used for the Shady Sands wasteland scenes.

Notable specific spots

  • Wendover Airfield in Utah for Brotherhood of Steel–related locations and other wasteland exteriors.
  • Pine Barrens airplane/automotive graveyard in southern New Jersey for the town of Filly.
  • Former ShopRite in Staten Island, New York, used as the Super Duper Mart.
  • Widow Jane Mine in Rosendale, New York, for underground cave sequences.

Quick context for fans

  • The mix of real-world ghost towns, deserts, and abandoned industrial spaces helps the show feel close to the look of the games while grounding it in recognizable geography.
  • Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, with shipwrecks like the Eduard Bohlen, gives some of the most striking ā€œdesert with shipsā€ imagery seen in the series.
