Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner are longtime friends, but the two had never worked together. “Fallout” proved to be the perfect starting point. “Graham wrote one of my very favorite unproduced pilots ever, which was to the great ‘Star Trek’ show ‘Worf,’ which Graham always described as the ‘Baskets’ of a ‘Star Trek’ show,” Robertson-Dworet tells Gold Derby (watch above). “But I think what it showed me was that he has a really unique sensibility and he brought to that show — which is a very popular world that has been explored and very serious sci-fi tone for a long time — a lot of just sort of surprising comedy. And I think that was what ‘Fallout’ needed and I was very excited to partner with my longtime friend Graham. And when [Jonathan Nolan] offered me the IP for ‘Fallout,’ I knew I was never gonna do it alone. I was only...

Amazon Prime Video’s “Fallout” created both unusual challenges and endless opportunities for its creative team. The vast world established by the hugely successful video game provided a vivid post-apocalyptic setting and brilliantly conceived creatures and characters but no clear road map for translating the experience of playing the game into the third-person narrative style of television. “Gaming is a more personal experience,” director and executive producer Jonathan Nolan told IndieWire. “Even if you’re playing connected games, for the most part, kids just put their headsets on and play with their friends online.”
The filmmakers’ goal was to take that first-person intimacy and translate it into a series that would be as involving and immersive as the game in its own way, an intention that was ultimately realized by a relatively classical approach to visual storytelling in which Nolan — as is his usual practice — shot on film and built...

Neither used the word “bro” and there was zero talk about any sibling rivalry or late-night phone calls about their respective work woes, but Emmy voters who wanted to learn more about Amazon’s Fallout were treated Tuesday to an interview with Executive Producer Jonathan Nolan by his Oscar-winning sibling, Christopher.
Jonathan Nolan — who was introduced by the Oppenheimer director as “my baby brother” — talked about directing the drama based on a post-apocalyptic video game and how the role of the Ghoul was specifically written for Walton Goggins. But the 40-minute conversation at the DGA Theater also offered some insight into how the siblings collaborate and routinely inspire one another.
“The exciting thing for me with this project was knowing that we needed showrunners to carry the story forward,” Jonathan Nolan told his brother about creators Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner. “I thought there was an opportunity for me to...

Amazon Prime Video has delivered a sublime hit the long-awaited TV adaptation of the video game “Fallout.” The post-apocalyptic sci-fi show depicts a Los Angeles 200 years after a nuclear apocalypse devastates the USA.
Created by Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet, the series follows several story strands surrounding different characters, including vault dweller Lucy (Ella Purnell), Brotherhood of Steel squire Maximus (Aaron Moten), and a bounty hunter known as The Ghoul (Walton Goggins). The series has received rave reviews from newbies and devotees of the video game alike.
Lucy Mangan (The Guardian) observed: “For newcomers such as me, this intelligent, drily witty, immaculately constructed series set in the Fallout universe fully captivates and entertains on its own terms.”
Aramide Tinubu (Variety) stated: “Bizarre but intensely fun, ‘Fallout’ is like nothing you’ve ever seen; for that reason alone, you won’t be able to turn away.”

Does Walton Goggins smell an Emmy approaching? Probably not, but only because his character in Amazon Prime Video’s hit “Fallout” TV series doesn’t have a nose. But nevertheless, his performance is earning rave reviews and awards voters are known to love a transformation. Goggins spent hours in the makeup chair before almost every shoot to turn into The Ghoul, a lone-wolf wastelander who’s been around for hundreds of years. In an interview with Deadline Studio at Prime Experience, Goggins acknowledged the difficulties of taking on this character physically and emotionally.
“The very first time we did the application [of his mask],” Goggins said, “I asked to be left alone for an hour and a half outside and Jonah [Nolan] came by. I just sat outside by myself and just photographed it like in the sun and in the shade. I was extremely intimidated but excited to see how this Ferrari would work.

Despite Fallout taking place in the aftermath of a nuclear war, it’s truly not the end of the world for the Prime Video series, which has many miles to go.
Fans of video games are fanatics about how faithfully adapted into movies and series, and according to Fallout executive producer Geneva Robertson-Dworet, speaking recently during an interview with cast and creatives at Deadline Studio at Prime Experience, “there is so much we had to leave behind” in Season 1. “[There’s] potentially thousands of hours of gameplay; we have eight hours to tell our story.”
Watch the interview here and see photos from the event below.
With a Season 2 order under its belt, as well as becoming the most watched Amazon Prime series launch ever per Nielsen with 2.9 billion minutes viewed, Robertson-Dworet says they’ll now “be able to get to so much more that we love about the Fallout world.”

As gamers will know, Fallout is one of the most popular and best-known video game franchises, whose first installment was released back in 1997 for the PC, but it wasn’t until Fallout 3 was released on platforms that the series exploded. This post-apocalyptic role-playing game turned out to be an ideal material for a series adaptation, which is why Amazon Prime picked up the series, which was – in an almost unprecedented move for the streaming service – released on April 10, 2024 as a batch release; Amazon usually releases series on a weekly basis, but Fallout was a risk they were willing to take and it turned out great!
The series has been praised by both fans and critics, and it is one of the most talked-about shows at the moment, which is why we’re not surprised that Amazon has already renewed it for a second season. In light of that fact, the...

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.

The Fallout series has been a huge success and proves once again how live-action adaptations of video games are not a bad idea after all. Following in the footsteps of Halo and The Last of Us, the TV show has become one of the best-performing releases on its respective platforms, and the showrunners have teased how the fun has just begun.
The Fallout TV Series has proven to be a huge success
While the series is getting praised for its excellent world-building and the great understanding of its source material, it is still missing a lot of elements, including Deathclaws, something which co-showrunner Graham Wagner has revealed the studio is looking forward to adding soon in the coming seasons.

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,...

Prime Video’s Fallout TV show has been getting nothing but praise from fans and critics alike ever since its recent release, and rightfully so. The only group of people discontent with something in the series is the hardcore Fallout: New Vegas fans who didn’t particularly enjoy seeing their favorite titular city in ruins in the very finale.
But trust us, if New Vegas was still standing, Fallout Season 2 would have begun its story with a much, much bigger butthurt from the very same Og fans.
Fallout: New Vegas Has Many Endings
The original video game set in New Vegas gives the player a lot — and we mean a lot — of choices when it comes to shaping the region’s future. There are four main factions you can side with, and depending on your decision, New Vegas will be taken over by the New California Republic, Caesar’s Legion,...

The audience loves Prime Video’s Fallout. It’s engaging and easy to understand for those previously unfamiliar with the setting, but it’s also faithful and carefully crafted enough for Og fans to enjoy without feeling unimmersed. But even despite all its pros, there’s one category of people who seem to have a grudge with the new show.
Some Fallout: New Vegas fans are pretty frustrated with the way Prime Video approached its lore; they claim that the new series overrules the game’s events.
Fallout: New Vegas Is an Iconic Game
The first two Fallout games were isometric and frustratingly old-school for the younger audience. When new developers came around with their fresh approach, the setting became much more popular with the general public; but while the new generation of Fallout is typically associated with Bethesda Softworks, it’s not true.

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.

However, they soon realized that an eight-hour show wouldn’t allow a proper integration of 25 years worth of mythology.

This article contains spoilers for Amazon’s Fallout TV series and the Fallout video games.
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...

Many Fallout fans familiar with the original video game series were pleasantly surprised by the way the new show stayed true to the source material, directly or subtly referencing certain aspects of the lore and world-building of the universe where war never changes.
And of course, what could be more memorable in the radiation-burned Wasteland than the mutated creatures that inhabit it? Among the most recognizable are the giant radroaches, as well as the two-headed cow Brahmins. We were also introduced to Yao Guai, a giant mutated bear, almost at the beginning.
However, hardcore fans were also hoping for the appearance of another creature that is not only the most iconic in the entire franchise, but also definitely one of the most dangerous.
Sometimes even power armor doesn't stop it! The name of this enemy is Deathclaw, and although such a dangerous animal (is it really an animal?) is not...

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.

Jonathan Nolan’s Fallout TV series has managed to cross all expectations and has been labeled as one of the best video game adaptations of all time by various prestigious publications. The unique approach of treating the show as another installment in the video game series certainly paid off as it was constantly entertaining and remained true to the source material.

Obviously, there is a vast difference between a TV series and a video game but Nolan believes that they had one advantage in terms of storytelling while adapting the game. As for the future seasons, showrunner Graham Wagner explained that he would stick to the eight-episode format as anything more than that would be very challenging for them.

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.
