“Fallout” is finally going to be a TV series. Amazon Studios announced Thursday it has licensed the rights to the hit video game franchise, which will be adapted into a show executive produced by “Westworld” creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy.
Per Amazon, “The world of ‘Fallout’ is one where the future envisioned by Americans in the late 1940s explodes upon itself through a nuclear war in 2077. The magic of the ‘Fallout’ world is the harshness of the wasteland set against the previous generation’s utopian idea of a better world through nuclear energy. It is serious and harsh in tone, yet sprinkled with moments of ironic humor and B-movie-nuclear-fantasies.”
