Despite ancient humans having already overcome several potential doomsday scenarios in real life, post-apocalyptic fiction used to be relatively rare until the invention of the atomic bomb convinced us that the end of the world could be just around the proverbial corner.
Since then, we’ve seen many different stories about the collapse of civilization and the strange societies that might emerge from the rubble, but I’d argue that one of the most interesting of these apocalyptic visions is the post-nuclear America of the iconic Fallout games. A witty satire of American jingoism and cold war shenanigans, it’s honestly baffling that it so long for us to finally see a live-action adaptation of this memorable setting.
Thankfully, Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet’s Fallout TV show isn’t just a great adaptation – it’s also an incredibly fun standalone story that makes the most of its post-apocalyptic worldbuilding.

Fallout has become one of Prime Video’s biggest series ever — according to Prime Video.
The well-reviewed show, based on the video game franchise of the same name, has become the second-most-watched title ever on the Amazon streaming service over its first 16 days of release, the company says. Prime Video says 65 million viewers worldwide have watched at least some of Fallout since its April 10 premiere, putting the show behind only The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power in the streamer’s catalog.
Global audiences have powered a majority of that viewing: More than 60 percent of Fallout’s audience is outside the United States. The (limited) data from Amazon jibes with that from outside sources like Samba TV, Luminate and Reelgood, all of which have tracked a strong start for the series (Nielsen’s streaming data lags by several weeks).

Video-game adaptations are going next level. Amazon says “Fallout” is off to the second-best start for any series on Prime Video ever.
More than 65 million people watched “Fallout” in its first 16 days on the streaming service, per a Prime Video rep. Amazon says that’s second only to the 16-day debut window for “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” back in 2022. Amazon also says “Fallout” is the number 1 title globally on Prime Video in that span, it’s hit number 1 in 170 countries, and more than 60 percent of its audience has come internationally. People in the UK, France, and Brazil especially love it.
The streamer claimed back in 2022 that the debut episode of “Rings of Power” was watched by 25 million people in just 24 hours and by 100 million people overall, but never reported specific figures for a 16-day window. But how many kept watching? A report said only 37 percent of...

“Fallout” is proving to be far from a (nuclear) bomb for Amazon’s Prime Video.
According to the streamer, the series pulled in 65 million viewers in its first 16 days of availability, with the first season dropping in its entirety on April 10. That makes it the second most-watched title ever on the platform and the most-watched title since the debut on “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” back in 2022.
Amazon also says the show is its most-watched ever among adults 18-34, with 60% of the show’s audience coming from outside the United States. In particular, the UK, France, and Brazil have all proven to be hubs for the show’s popularity. It should be noted, however, that Amazon has not released any data on how viewers are counted, especially when it comes to completion of the show. Therefore, it is unknown if a viewer is counted once they have completed a single episode,...

The Fallout TV show‘s executive producers may not have known how the show would be received when it was released, but they were ambitious enough to plan for future seasons.
In a recent interview, executive producer Jonathan Nolan and co-showrunners Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner spoke about how they tried to balance injecting plot into the show without it seeming surface-level, as well as hinting at their plans for Season 2.
Fallout Showrunners Planned for More, but Had to Scale Back There’s a lot to cover in the Fallout universe, but not enough time
During the interview with The Wrap, when discussing the planning of the first season, Robertson-Dworet revealed that their initial plan was to include a lot of iconic elements from the game’s universe.
However, they soon realized that an eight-hour show wouldn’t allow a proper integration of 25 years worth of mythology.

Fallout is the latest game franchise to leap from an interactive format to a linear and straightforward television series. Prime Video has another successful show, as it collaborated with Bethesda and passionate writers.
The secret to its success was that the showrunners behind it were already fans of the source material and knew how to authentically translate it without overdoing it. The writers spoke about the unique experience of doing a game adaptation and what the future holds.
Fallout Writers Almost Overdid It With Season 1
The writers of the Fallout show discussed how they balanced the Easter eggs in the first season.
It can be a daunting task to adapt a beloved franchise to a different format. Fortunately, Prime Video hired Jonah Nolan and his team of writers, who were more than equipped to take on the challenge. The team sat down with TheWrap and shared how the first season...

In an interview with GQ, Fallout showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet broke down the first season of the acclaimed series and shared some of the first details about Fallout: Season 2. It’s a fascinating interview highlighted by some of the first details regarding how the show’s second season will (and will not) address the unanswered questions posed by the best Fallout game: 2010’s Fallout: New Vegas.
While Wagner and Robertson-Dworet stopped short of confirming that large parts of Fallout: Season 2 will be set in New Vegas as the ending of the show’s first season implied, they admitted that it would “be strange if we went off to New York City after that.” More importantly, they addressed some of the controversial lore changes/additions that the show’s first season made...

Considering that the first game in the series was released in 1997, Fallout has always had a layered lore since its inception. From vibrant characters to the details that make the dystopian world come to life, there are many aspects to go through to understand what the universe has to offer. Which have been developed over years, so expecting the Prime Video show’s creator, Jonah Nolan, to fit everything into one season wouldn’t have been fair.
Why Prime Video’s Fallout Didn’t Feature an Important Cameo
Fitting every aspect of the Fallout franchise into Prime Video’s first season wouldn’t have been possible.

Note: This story contains spoilers from “Fallout” Season 1
The Season 1 finale of Prime Video’s “Fallout” left audiences with many unanswered questions around the scientist-turned-New California Republic leader Lee Moldaver, such as how she survived the nuclear apocalypse and her relationship to Lucy’s mother, Rose MacLean.
Sarita Choudhury, who portrays Moldaver, revealed that she “knows enough” about the answers to these questions, but remained tight-lipped.
“I was told enough to play each scene,” she told TheWrap in a recent interview. “When I had the first meeting, I was told a lot, and then as we were shooting… It was so coveted, this information, and the writers are so brilliant, they’re so caring. They wanted to give us everything, but at the same time, they couldn’t give everything. So I know more than you do, but I don’t know as much as them.”

The apocalypse was just the beginning. A week ago, Prime Video unleashed its streaming series adaptation of the ultra-popular Fallout video games – bringing a post-nuclear wasteland filled with vault-dwellers, metal-clad soldiers and irradiated ghouls to fans old and new. And not only has Season 1 been a critical hit, receiving considerable acclaim in reviews and notices as one of the best game-to-screen adaptations, but it’s clearly been a ratings winner for the streamer too. So much so that, within seven days of its entire-season drop, Amazon has committed to more mutant mayhem: Fallout will officially be back for Season 2.
While exact viewership numbers haven’t been revealed, Amazon has confirmed that Fallout is in Prime Video’s top three most-watched series ever, and has been the service’s biggest global hit since The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power. “Holy shit,” said showrunners Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner in a statement.

It’s official: The sci-fi action-comedy Fallout will return for a second season.
Prime Video renewed the series based on the popular Bethesda Softworks game franchise and adapated by showrunners Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner and produced by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. The show has given the streamer a welcome buzzy boost, premiering to some of Prime Video’s best reviews ever, averaging a 94 percent average positive critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. The streamer also says the show is among its top three titles to date (though per usual, it didn’t back that up with any hard data).
“Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have captivated the world with this ground-breaking, wild ride of a show. The bar was high for lovers of this iconic video game and so far we seem to have exceeded their expectations, while bringing in millions of new fans to the franchise,” Amazon MGM...

Ella Purnell continues her stellar history of video game adaptations with Fallout. The actress, 27, has successfully ventured into the video game industry with Netflix’s Arcane, an animated series based on League of Legends, after previously finding success with Home for Peculiar Children, Army of the Dead, and Yellowjackets.
The English actor does, however, display a more upbeat side as Lucy in the latest drama series, Fallout. During the first season’s eight-episode series, viewers will witness Lucy’s development from an eternally upbeat vault dweller with an all-American gumption to a more seasoned survivor who can handle the dangers and quirks of the wasteland.

Purnell recently revealed that she was instantly drawn to the project when the show’s executive producers described her character as someone who could star in a “toothpaste commercial” but could also “kill you”.

The mastermind behind Fallout, Todd Howard, and the Amazon Prime TV show‘s executive producer Jonathan Nolan, have ended a major question that’s been bugging fans for a while—how does the TV show fit into the timeline of the games?
During a recent interview, they spilled the beans of the intricate timeline, cleared up some major doubts, and spoke about some cool behind-the-scenes information that you might find interesting.
How the Fallout TV Show Fits Within the Official Timeline
The Fallout TV show is completely canon, although things are tight according to Howard
Set in the year 2296, the Fallout show explores a timeline not covered by the games. For context, the fourth game takes place in 2287, while the TV show takes place in 2296, almost a decade later.
In the IGN interview, Howard confirms that the events of the TV show are very much canon to the official lore.

Fallout is the hot new thing when it comes to video game adaptations of recent times. Based on the highly popular video game franchise of the same name, the series has been breaking records for how it adapted the lore and created a world almost as perfect as the video games. With an impressive audience and critical ratings, Fallout is a delight to watch for fans of the video game.

In a world where projects based on video games are treated with scrutiny and often discarded by fans as garbage, Fallout has been faring well. Being hailed as one of the best video game adaptations of all time, the Prime Video series is decent enough and does justice to the source material.

Not only does it maintain the aesthetics of the game, but its world-building and extra elements only add to the viewer’s experience. Yet it is also its amazing cast that allows the series to be as unhinged as it is. Although there hasn’t been an official announcement, fans can hardly wait for Fallout season 2, and Jonathan Nolan might have just found the perfect actor to potentially cast in the next season.

Though “Fallout” has not officially been renewed by Prime Video for a second season, executive producer Jonathan Nolan and co-showrunners Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner said they already have ideas ready to go for the next installment of the video game adaptation — including a couple of elements game fans will find incredibly exciting.
Nolan, who has experience crafting mythology-dense serialized storytelling across multiple seasons with HBO’s “Westworld,” said they’ve been talking about the future of “Fallout” since their earliest discussions while still focusing on making the best Season 1 they could.
“The challenge, especially with television, is in success, the hope that you get to go again. But I think the reality is your best strategy is to concentrate on making a terrific season and television and if there’s an opportunity to keep going, and there’s sufficient interest, then you get a chance to keep going,” Nolan...

Walton Goggins, in a gruesome starring role in Prime Video’s apocalyptic sci-fi series Fallout, said he knew he knew he was in for “an intense experience” having to transform every day on set into The Ghoul, a post-human character with melting flesh, a cowboy persona and some semblance of his humanity still left.
But at Saturday’s Deadline Contenders Television panel, the perennial character actor — beaming in from overseas, where he is shooting The White Lotus — said the task of transformation proved to be “extremely anxiety provoking” at first. He had to figure out how to express himself under a thin layer of sweat-inducing facial prosthesis designed to make him look almost skeletal and how to be a walking, wisecracking horror show with a retainer in his mouth to simulate the absence of teeth.

Amazon has committed a big mistake with its new Prime Video release, Fallout, a series based on the video game series of the same name. It has received great reviews from critics as well as audiences, however, the chatter about the series hasn’t lived up to the quality of the series. One of the major reasons for this buzzkill might be Amazon going out of its way to release all the episodes of the series in a single go.

Walton Goggins has been trending among fans on social media with his slick performance as the Ghoul in the first season of Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout. Anyone privy to his works like The Shield, Justified, and The Righteous Gemstones may agree that Goggins’ recognition comes a little late in his career. The Hateful Eight actor plays a disfigured post-apocalyptic character in Fallout. However, he teased his very different pre-apocalyptic form in an interview.

Video game developer Todd Howard has been looking forward to a cinematic adaptation of the game Fallout for over fifteen years. The developer reportedly thought of Jonathan Nolan after seeing his work on The Dark Knight and wished for him to adapt the beloved video game franchise to TV. His wish came true, as Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout recently began streaming.
Fallout is another video game adaptation that is getting positive reviews like last year’s Pedro Pascal starrer, The Last of Us. Howard mentioned that he loved The Last of Us as a game too, and had immediately thought how it would be as a movie. However, with Fallout, the team had to go in a different direction than the games as it was an open-world video game.

[Editor’s Note: The following article contains spoilers for Prime Video’s “Fallout,” including the finale.]
After eight episodes of flashbacks and intertwined perilous adventures, Prime Video’s “Fallout” reaches its climactic conclusion, with the door wide open to keep going. Set in the sprawling and fruitful world of Bethesda Softworks’ popular video game series, Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner’s dystopian drama brings Season 1 to a head in the final episode with a dizzying number of revelations.
Most of those twists come back to Vault-Tec, the organization behind nuclear fallout shelters like Lucy’s (Ella Purnell). Vault-Tec controls the vault population by assigning old executives as Overseers; Vault-Tec destroyed Shady Sands in order to maintain supremacy; Vault-Tec controls the Brotherhood of Steel; and most damning of all, Cooper’s past (Walton Goggins) reveals that Vault-Tec may have even dropped the first bomb.

Prime Video’s adaption of the Fallout game franchise is looking like a hit.
The first season of the sci-fi action-comedy has opened this week to a 92 percent average positive review score on Rotten Tomatoes (which is just shy of HBO’s post-apocalyptic video game adaptation, The Last of Us). The first season — which seems very likely to earn a speedy renewal — has been a five-year labor of love from showrunners Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Captain Marvel) and Graham Wagner (Silicon Valley) who, along with executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, have brought the game’s world of a Wild West wasteland to life.
The secret to the show’s success seems to be successfully capturing the game franchise’s tricky balance of drama, graphic violence and off-beat humor — something plenty of Western projects have tried and failed to do the in the past (remember Will Smith’s Wild Wild West?...

The Fallout gaming franchise presents a big storytelling universe to play in. And that’s exactly what drew showrunners Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner to the Prime Video TV adaptation in the first place.
“It’s more creatively interesting to be able to build our own story in the world that they’ve carved out for us,” Wagner told Den of Geek. “That’s historically been the trajectory of Fallout. It’s traded hands many times, with different creative teams taking it over. It’s kept it fresh, kept it relevant. We chose to just vainly look at this as our Fallout.”
Of course, a big storytelling universe also requires a big cast to fill it up. Prime Video’s Fallout isn’t wanting for compelling lead characters thanks to Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell), Maximus (Aaron Moten), and The Ghoul...

Video game adaptations come in two flavors: crap and brilliance. For a long time, games were considered cash grabs that did not take advantage of the brilliant concepts and stories they told in a different medium. In recent years, that perspective has changed as producers have found creative homes for properties to tell everything from big-screen epics to animated fare and long-form series storytelling. The latest addition to the growing genre is Fallout. Adapted from the three-decade-old franchise, Fallout exists within the world of video games but expands into a fully original story with all new characters. With the full season streaming on Prime Video, audiences are finding this new series is the real deal.

Lucy (Ella Purnell) has only been outside the relative safety of her vault for a few hours before the young, wide-eyed school teacher — who specializes in American History “with a focus on ethics!” — is attacked by a cockroach the size of an adult corgi. Technically, she’s spared the hand-to-leg combat thanks to an actual dog (a German Shepherd), who jumps out of the shadows, chomps down on the mutant insect, and makes a meal of the squealing, writhing creature. But the interaction is nonetheless indication of her predicament. Lucy, who’s lived her entire life in an underground society dictated by laws, common goals, and good manners, isn’t prepared to be out in this anarchic desert wasteland. Her bright blue jumpsuit may shield her from the radiation, but it won’t protect her from the parasites ready to pounce as soon as she lets down her guard.

The much anticipated Prime Video series adaptation of the popular RPG video game series Fallout is finally here and I am so happy to bring you the good news that it’s great. While I am not familiar with the video game, I can say this about the series it’s unique, visually satisfying, and has a good enough story to keep you interested.
Fallout is a dystopian post-apocalyptic series created by Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet. The Prime Video series shows us the aftermath of a nuclear war that decimated the Earth. 219 years later, we follow the story of a young woman Lucy who ventures out of her ideal life as a vault dweller to save her kidnapped father and comes face to face with a dangerous world outside of the vaults.

It’s a frigid February day on the Brooklyn waterfront, and the world is ending. A dusting of snow powders the makeshift walkway through the rubble stacked high. Underneath, shanties made of scrap flex and creak with each step. Directly ahead, the disembodied nose of a commercial airliner dangles from the roof of a junkyard saloon. All over town, bullet casings pepper the dirt among the ruins of whatever life was once here. This is a place of violence.

After starting out as a post-apocalyptic video game series, “Fallout” is finally stepping out of the vault and onto TV screens.
From Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the masterminds behind HBO’s “Westworld,” Prime Video’s “Fallout” takes viewers back to the 1960s before blowing things up — literally. A jaw-dropping nuclear explosion, rivaling the skull-rattling blast seen in Nolan’s brother Christopher’s best picture winner “Oppenheimer,” kicks off the series, before then jumping over 200 years into the future. The majority of the show takes place in a retro-futuristic wasteland full of underground vault dwellers, psychotic bandits and irradiated monsters.
“Fallout” started as a role-playing computer game in 1997, which became popular enough to spawn a sequel a year later. The franchise really caught on with 2008’s “Fallout 3” when video game developer Bethesda — behind such hits as the “Elder Scrolls” fantasy games, and most recently sci-fi title “Starfield” — acquired the rights.

The majority of the show takes place in a retro-futuristic wasteland full of underground vault dwellers, psychotic bandits and irradiated monsters.
“Fallout” started as a role-playing computer game in 1997, which became popular enough to spawn a sequel a year later. The franchise really caught on with 2008’s “Fallout 3” when video game developer Bethesda — behind such hits as the “Elder Scrolls” fantasy games, and most recently sci-fi title “Starfield” — acquired the rights.

Fallout is the latest video game franchise to receive the Hollywood treatment of getting a live-action adaptation series and Bethesda CEO Todd Howard is committed to the idea. Howard has set some parameters for series director Jonah Nolan about what to include and what they shouldn’t.
The show is not a direct remake but an extension of sorts that gives both Bethesda and Amazon Prime Video to work on its projects freely and creatively.
Todd Howard Made Sure The Fallout Series Will Not Use The Same Ideas For The Next Game All episodes of Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout will air on April 10, 2024.
Adapting one form of media to another can be a challenging task. That’s why Howard decided that the upcoming series should be entirely new, rather than a remake or adaptation. However, this creative freedom could potentially clash with concepts that are intended for the next...
