Announced in July 2020, Fallout is being developed in partnership with Amazon Studios, Kilter Films, Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks; Nolan, Joy and Athena Wickham will executive produce for Kilter, Todd Howard for Bethesda Game Studios and James Altman for Bethesda Softworks. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner were tapped as the Fallout showrunners in January, with Nolan set to direct the pilot.

"Fallout is one of the greatest game series of all time," Joy and Nolan previously said. "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."

"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," Amazon Studios COO and Co-Head of Television Albert Cheng added. "We’re thrilled to join with Bethesda to bring Fallout to television."

Debuting in 1997, Fallout is a post-apocalyptic role-playing game franchise set in the 22nd and 23rd centuries. The first game was quickly followed by a sequel, Fallout 2 in 1998, as well as Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel in 2001, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel in 2004, Fallout 3 in 2008, Fallout: New Vegas in 2010, Fallout 4 and Fallout Shelter in 2015, Fallout Pinball in 2016 and Fallout 76 in 2018.

For video game fans, it's worth noting a fifth Fallout game is still in the cards, but according to Howard, it may be a while. "I don't see... Look, Fallout's really part of our DNA here," he said in November 2021. "We've worked with other people from time to time -- I can't say what's gonna happen. You know, we have a one-pager on Fallout 5, what we want to do. If I could wave my hand and have [Fallout 5] out – you know, I'd like to find a way to accelerate what we do, but I can't really say today or commit to anything, [like] what's going to happen when."
