Amazon’s production has its showrunners and pilot director locked in
Amazon Studios’FalloutTV series looks to be moving ahead, with more big names getting attached to the project. A new report highlights several names now attached for the stream adaptation, and that production is set to start this year.
Deadline reportsthatWestworldco-creator Jonathan Nolan has been locked in as director of the series premiere. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner, meanwhile, are set to be showrunners on theFalloutTV series.
The Amazon Studios and Kilter Films series is being made in association with Bethesda. Nolan is also onboard as an executive producer alongside fellowWestworldcreator Lisa Joy, Athena Wickham, and Bethesda’s James Altman and Todd Howard.
Originally announcedback in July 2020, this is a nice step forward for theFalloutTV series. No info’s been shared yet about the plot specifics of this television adaptation; I’m particularly curious whether they’ll create an original story in theFalloutuniverse, or if the series will look to recreate one of the pre-existingFalloutgames.
It’s at least some excitingnews for fans who want more of this universe, as it doesn’t seem like there’s anything on the horizon forFalloutaside from more76. Bethesda is currently working onStarfieldand then likely headed intoElder Scrolls VI, and no newFalloutgame has been announced yet.
Hopefully theFalloutseries turns out as well as some recent video game adaptations have. Netflix’sArcane, aLeague of Legendsshow, ended upbeing pretty dang goodand there’s also obviouslyThe Witcherseries. It’s a pretty golden time for video game adaptations and a lot of studios seem to be picking up their own properties to work on. We’ll see howFalloutturns out as it heads into production this year.
