Fallout video game franchise is becoming an Amazon TV series from Westworld creators

Deadline

Amazon has given a series commitment to Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy's adaptation of the bestselling video game franchise. This is the first project from the Westworld creators' big overall deal with Amazon Studios. "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," according to Deadline. "In Fallout, the harshness of the wasteland is set against the previous generation’s utopian idea of a better world through nuclear energy. It is serious  in tone, yet sprinkled with moments of ironic humor and B-movie-nuclear-fantasies." Watch Amazon's Fallout teaser.
