With the growing popularity of programming such as Stranger Things, Westworld, and The Expanse Amazon is hoping that this indicates that there is a rising market for adult sci-fi television and that their Fallout TV series can capitalize on this trend.
In terms of quality, will Prime Video's Fallout be closer to HBO's The Last of Us or Paramount's Halo? That's the questions on the minds of gamers as Prime Video unleashes the video game adaptation's first teaser trailer. Check it out below and share your thoughts in the comment section.
With a sizable and devoted fan following, the Fallout video game brand has been operating for more than 20 years. Because of this, it's an ideal target for Amazon, which is constantly searching for fresh material to draw in and keep subscribers.
Additionally, Amazon has successfully adapted several TV shows across a wide variety of genres, including The Wheel of Time, Invincible, and The Boys. This implies that Amazon has the know-how to produce a Fallout television series that is successful- a fact that should placate even the most skeptical Fallout video game fan.
Kilter Films is in charge of producing the show, while Jonathan Nolan (Westworld), Lisa Joy (Burn Notice, Westworld), and Athena Wickham are the executive producers alongside Bethesda's Todd Howard and James Altman.
The showrunners are Graham Wagner (Silicon Valley) and Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Captain Marvel, Tomb Raider).
Set in the aftermath of a nuclear war, the show will follow the stories of several survivors as they attempt to start over in a post-apocalyptic world.
The Fallout video game series from Bethesda is well-known for its open-world gameplay, in-depth narratives, and endearing characters. With more than 50 million copies sold globally, the series has also been successful on the gaming side.
The series is confirmed to star Walton Goggins (Justified), Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets, Arcane), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks, Dune 1984), Xelia Mendes-Jones (The Wheel of Time), Aaron Moten (Native Son, Emancipation), and Mike Doyle (Law & Order: SVU).
About Prime Video's Fallout
Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout 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 — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them. From executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the creators of Westworld, starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins and more. Arriving April 12 on Prime Video.
