Fallout TV series release date

Based on that – and taking into account all the other delays due to the pandemic – we don’t expect to see the Fallout series come to air until at least 2022. There’s a lot of games and lore for this series to draw from, with six in the ‘main’ plot (Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76). Whether the show will follow identical plots from these games, or simply draw on them for a new universe, remains to be seen. The initial description of the series as reported by Variety is as follows: ‘the harshness of the wasteland set against the previous generation’s utopian idea of a better world through nuclear energy’. Once the script is written, more plot details are likely to emerge. We’ll update this article with more information as we get it.

Who is involved in the series?

This will be made in association with Todd Howard from Bethesda Game Studios and James Altman from Bethesda Softworks, who will both also act as executive producers. Howard has previously been the lead on both the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series, so is well acquainted with the game lore.
