What Is theย Falloutย TV Show About?
Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time,ย Falloutย is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind โ and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them.
Theย Falloutย series will star Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, Aaron Moten, Moisรฉs Arias, Kyle MacLachlan, Sarita Choudhury, Michael Emerson, Leslie Uggams, Frances Turner, Dave Register, Zach Cherry, Johnny Pemberton, Rodrigo Luzzi, Annabel O’Hagan, and Xelia Mendes-Jones. The series comes from Kilter Films and executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. Nolan directed the first three episodes. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, writers, and co-showrunners. Athena Wickham of Kilter Films also executive produces, along with Todd Howard for Bethesda Game Studios and James Altman for Bethesda Softworks. Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films produce in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.ย
Will There Be a Fallout 5?
There hasn’t been a new Fallout game since 2015 and given Bethesda just releasedย Starfieldย and is currently working onย The Elder Scrolls 6, we likely shouldn’t expect a new one anytime soon. However, Bethesda hasย put fans at ease by promisingย Fallout 5. It might not happen until the 2030s, but it will happen. If we’re lucky, maybe Bethesda and Microsoft will work with another team to produce a spin-off game likeย Fallout: New Vegasย to ensure the IP doesn’t go close to 20 years without a brand new game.
During a ย conversation at CCXP,ย Fallout’sย co-showrunner Graham Wagner opened up about the TV adaptation and what it has been like to develop. Although stressing that he didn’t want to share too much about the show and its story, Wagner said that those helming the project intentionally tried to distance it from the timelines seen in the Fallout games. To help with this, Wagner said that they tried to look at the show asย Fallout 5ย rather than a typical video game adaptation.ย
“We didn’t start from a place of characters from the games. We set things after,” Wagner said. “We kind of told ourselves, ‘This isย Fallout 5, this is just another installation, and we’re starting with fresh snow.’ But as things go on, things go on. So yeah, again, I am really desperate not to spoil stuff, leave it at that I guess.”
