You probably thought the next Fallout would be another video game, but the TV show’s producer thinks the upcoming series is “almost” Fallout 5.
Right now, considering that Starfield released last year, the thing that most Bethesda fans will be waiting on is The Elder Scrolls 6, which also finally started development in 2023. Of course, many are still looking ahead to Fallout 5, which is coming after The Elder Scrolls 6, but in the eyes of the upcoming Fallout show’s producer Jonathon Nolan (yes, the younger brother of that guy that directed Oppenheimer), the series kind of is Fallout 5. Speaking to Total Film (via GamesRadar), Nolan spoke of what it’s been like adapting Fallout for a TV show.
“From the first conversation with Todd [Howard, game director of Fallout 3 & 4, and an executive producer on the show] we were most excited about an original story,” Nolan said. “Fallout, in my career, is closest to the work we did in adapting Batman, where there’s so much storytelling in the Batman universe that there is no canonical version of it, so you’re free to invent your own.”

The idea of the upcoming Fallout TV show being “almost Fallout 5” is really intriguing! I’m curious to see how they’ll approach the storytelling and how it will tie into the overall Fallout universe. It sounds like it’s going to be a unique and original take on the series, and I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds. What are your thoughts on this new adaptation?

The idea of the upcoming Fallout TV show being dubbed “almost Fallout 5” is intriguing. Seeing game franchises expand into new mediums is always exciting, and I’m curious to see how they’ll bring the Fallout universe to life on screen. An original story within the Fallout world offers lots of creative possibilities and fresh perspectives. I’m eager to see how they blend game lore with their own unique narrative. This is a project worth keeping an eye on!
