Joining HBO with The Last of Us and Showtime with Halo, Amazon Prime Video is getting into live-action video game adaptations, as it's just been announced that the streaming service has enlisted Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy to develop a new television show based on Bethesda's hit Fallout series.

In their official statement, Nolan and Joy said, “‘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.

Considering the Primetime Emmy-nominated couple are currently in the midst of their Westworld run, having completed three out of their planned six season story, and are in pre-production on a fellow Amazon series, The Peripheral, it's uncertain when this potential series may actually roll cameras, but it's likely to be a lot sooner than 2077.

Never played any of the games.

Consider getting Fallout 4 at some point.

Would you say it's good?

This has potential to be great. Don’t use the games story tough use the places and characters.

@Grodd87 - yeah. I had an idea for a fallout story that uses the set up with fallout 4 (a pre war guy waking up from cryosleep) then just having its own story of this guy trying to survive the wasteland. I also think Philadelphia would be a great location.

Knowing Bethesda it'll probably be unfinished when release comes around.

So it'll be great for a season and then turn into a convoluted mess?

I don't know how you could make a show out of Fallout and have it be the same story as any of the games, but a show set in that world would be pretty awesome. Still haven't watched West World, but this still has a lot of potential, this and TLOU shows i'll give them a shot.

Will it be glitchy?

About damn time. Fallout is a magnificent world that deserves a live-action adaptation. I picked up Fallout 1 and 2 a couple years ago and completely devoured them. Such a great vibe, rich with all sorts of storytelling potential.

I just hope it's on the west coast or it's own location. Trying to do the east coast stuff that's already a bit of a mess with the lore wouldn't be as interesting faction wise and it already pulls a lot from the west coast factions.

Netflix - The Witcher
HBO - The Last of Us
Showtime - Halo
Amazon - Fallout

I guess that leaves Hulu as the only premium network/streaming service without a video game adaptation airing or in the works. I wonder what IP they'll go after.

@MovieMonster - Call of Duty?

@tmp3 - Activision has been trying to make a COD cinematic universe but they have no studio backing the project. I'm not a COD fan but I can see it being a anthology series where each season is inspired by a different game.
