Fallout is getting a show in Please Stand By
Bethesda have announced that Fallout is getting a tv show, Please Stand By and that it is being developed by Kilter Films and Amazon Studios. Check out the teaser for it below.
If Kilter Films means nothing to you and honestly it most likely won’t, it might surprise you to know that they are the folks behind Westworld. Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the creators of Westworld will be overseeing the Fallout show.
"Fallout is one of the greatest game series of all time. 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,” said Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, Kilter Films.
In addition to getting some good names from the TV space, Todd Howard has also been revealed to be a producer of the show, how involved he will be has not been revealed, but I suspect it will be along the lines of ensuring things make sense.
“Over the last decade, we looked at many ways to bring Fallout to the screen,” said Todd Howard, Executive Producer at Bethesda Game Studios. “But it was clear from the moment I first spoke with Jonah and Lisa a few years ago, that they and the team at Kilter were the ones to do it right. We’re enormous fans of their work and couldn’t be more excited to work with them and Amazon Studios.”
There are no dates for when the show might air, but given that Amazon Studios are producing it, expect it to be on Prime Video, so get your wallets ready.
“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,” said Albert Cheng, COO and Co-Head of Television, Amazon Studios. “We’re thrilled to join with Bethesda to bring Fallout to television.”
