The world of Fallout is one where the future envisioned by Americans in the late 1940s explodes upon itself through a nuclear war in 2077. The magic of the Fallout world is the harshness of the wasteland set against the previous generation’s utopian idea of a better world through nuclear energy. It is serious and harsh in tone, yet sprinkled with moments of ironic humor and B-movie-nuclear-fantasies.
Announced back in July 2020, we previously revealed that Geneva Robertson-Dworet (known for Tomb Raider and Captain Marvel) and Graham Wagner (Silicon Valley, The Office) have come on board as co-showrunners on the Fallout TV series adaptation.
Variety announced that Walton Goggins has been cast for the upcoming TV show adapation, and while there is no confirmation from Amazon, rumor has it that "he will play a character based on the ghouls from the games."
Walton Goggins is known for a variety of movies and TV shows (The Hateful Eight, Django Unchained, The Shield, Sons Of Anarchy, Justified, Six, Deep State, The Unicorn) as well voicing Aaron Ingram in Arkane Studios/Bethesda's reboot of Prey.
Aaron Ingram (voice)Executive producer Jonathan Nolan will direct the first episode of the series, which will go into production somewhere later this year.
Fallout is from Amazon Studios and Kilter Films in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks, with executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, and Athena Wickham for Kilter Films, Todd Howard for Bethesda Game Studios, and James Altman for Bethesda Softworks.
Through Kilter Films' overall deal with Amazon, they are currently in pre-production on the techno-thriller drama The Peripheral, based on the William Gibson novel, which follows a woman in a near-future America in which technology has started to subtly alter society. Kilter Films also produces HBO's Westworld which just wrapped its third season and was recently picked up for a fourth season. The series has amassed 43 Emmy nominations along with DGA, WGA, PGA and SAG Awards nominations. Kilter also has produced interactive and transmedia marketing for its series, including a Westworld Super Bowl spot directed by Nolan. Joy recently directed her debut feature film Reminiscence, for Warner Bros., starring Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson, and Thandie Newton. Joy wrote the script, which landed on The Black List, and produced with her Kilter Films partner Nolan, Michael De Luca and Aaron Ryder.
