Fallout Television Series





Fallout is an upcoming television series based on the Fallout series of video games.

Background
Licensed to Amazon Studios, the series was developed by Kilter Films, in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks. Executive producers included Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, and Athena Wickham for Kilter Films, Todd Howard for Bethesda Game Studios, and James Altman for Bethesda Softworks. The rights to the TV series adaptation were purchased by Amazon in 2020 following months of negotiation.

Following the first teaser trailer, Nolan and Joy commented in a statement that "Fallout is one of the greatest game series of all time. Each chapter of this insanely imaginative story has cost us countless hours we could have spent with family and friends. So we're incredibly excited to partner with Todd Howard and the rest of the brilliant lunatics at Bethesda to bring this massive, subversive, and darkly funny universe to life with Amazon Studios."

Albert Cheng, chief operating officer and co-head of television at Amazon Studios stated that "Fallout is an iconic global franchise, with legions of fans worldwide and a rich, deeply compelling storyline that powers it. And Jonah and Lisa are the perfect storytellers to bring this series to life. We’re thrilled to join with Bethesda to bring Fallout to television." Bethesda Game Studios' Todd Howard shared that "over the last decade, we looked at many ways to bring Fallout to the screen, but it was clear from the moment I first spoke with Jonah and Lisa a few years ago, that they and the team at Kilter were the ones to do it right. We're enormous fans of their work and couldn't be more excited to work with them and Amazon Studios."
