According to GameSpot, Bethesda's Todd Howard and Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer treaded audiences to a short teaser of the series at Gamescom's recent Xbox booth, but no one seems to have their hands on the footage.
Last we heard about the series, Walton Goggins was added to the cast in an undisclosed role. According to an early report from Variety, it’s likely that his character will be based on the “ghouls” from the games -- humans whose exposure to radiation during the Great War renders them disfigured, yet immune to nuclear fallout.
The new show will be set against the same backdrop as its source material, in a nuclear age that unfolds in 2077 America. Fallout has been in development since Amazon Studios first licensed rights to the game franchise in 2020.
Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner will serve as executive producers and co-showrunners. Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy will executive produce via Kilter Films under their overall Amazon Studios deal, and Nolan will direct the series’ pilot episode. Athena Wickham of Kilter Films will also executive produce, alongside Todd Howard for Bethesda Game Studios and James Altman for Bethesda Softworks.
Amazon Studios and Kilter Films will produce Fallout in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.
Fallout will release sometime in 2024.
