Exploring the Fallout Series: Show's Timeline vs. Game Lore Unveiled
Delve into the intricate world of the Fallout series as creators dissect the timeline alignment between the show and the beloved games. Unravel 25 years of creative evolution in this immersive journey through the post-apocalyptic universe.
Fallout co-showrunner Graham Wagner discusses the timeline of the Prime Video series, shedding light on where the TV show fits into the broader video game franchise's history. The upcoming series by Wagner and Westworld showrunner Jonathan Nolan aims to bring Bethesda's famous RPG world to life on the small screen. In Fallout, Ella Purnell's character Lucy ventures out from her underground Vault home into the desolate wastelands of a post-nuclear war Los Angeles.
Following the release of Fallout's latest trailer, Wagner shared during a press conference the timeframe in which the series is set. Instead of directly adapting specific game plots, Wagner and Nolan drew on the game's 25-year lore to create their own narrative that continues the events of the main series. Read on for Wagner's detailed explanation.
Yeah. The show is set in the world of Fallout, but it tells a new story that takes place after the events we're familiar with. The show draws from 25 years of creativity, ideas, and world-building. Instead of repeating what has already been done, we decided to continue building on that foundation. Fallout has evolved over the years, changing hands and adapting, making it a dynamic and evolving universe. We wanted to contribute something new and fresh to this rich history.
This is a developing story...
Fallout releases on Prime Video on April 11.
