Some really S.P.E.C.I.A.L news for fans of Fallout.
Amazon and Bethesda Game Studios have announced that the hugely popular post-apocalyptic game franchise is coming to the small screen.
Here is the official announcement from Twitter from @BethesdaStudios
So, not only are we getting a Fallout series, it is getting brought to us by the producers of Westworld. Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan will produce under their Kilter Films banner.
In a recent interview via Bethesda, producer Lisa Joy, Albert Cheng from Amazon Studios and Todd Howard from Bethesda had this to say:
“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,”

“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.
Todd Howard, Executive Producer at Bethesda Game Studios
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.”
Albert Cheng – COO and Co-Head of Television, Amazon Studios
