Fallout is an upcoming post-apocalyptic television series developed by Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan for the streaming service Amazon Prime Video. It is based on the role-playing video game franchise of the same name created by Black Isle Studios and now owned by Bethesda Softworks.

The rights to produce a live-action project based on the Fallout games were purchased by Amazon in 2020, with the show being announced that July alongside the reveal of Kilter Films' involvement. Shortly thereafter, Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan boarded the series as its head writers, and Bethesda Game Studios producer Todd Howard, who had served as director on various games in the series, was signed on to executive produce alongside Joy and Nolan. The duo of Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner were hired as the series' showrunners in January 2022, with Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell being cast for the series in February and March, respectively.

Fallout will release on Amazon Prime Video.

Premise

The show depicts the aftermath of a nuclear war in an alternate history of a 1950s-esque retrofuturistic world.

Cast

Production

It was announced in July 2020 that a television adaptation of the video game franchise had received a series commitment from Amazon Studios, with Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy announced to develop the series.[1] In August 2021 interview Joy described the series as “a gonzo, crazy, funny, adventure, and mindfuck like none you’ve ever seen before”.[2]

In 2022, production for the series was set to begin sometime that year, with Nolan directing the pilot episode and Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner hired as showrunners for the series.[3] In February, Walton Goggins was cast in a lead role for the series, potentially as a Ghoul.[4] In March, Ella Purnell joined the cast.[5] In June, Kyle MacLachlan, Xelia Mendes-Jones and Aaron Moten were added to the cast as series regulars.[6]

Filming for the series began on July 5, 2022, with production to take place between New Jersey, New York and Utah.[7]
