@FuriousMachine Glad to hear I've convinced you to give it another shot! I hope you'll get along better with it this time around. If you care about viewing orders and the like, the first season had a big mess in terms of continuity and production delays resulting in a viewing order far different from what was intended. I personally followed the viewing order someone created based on what's best for the first season character arcs while also keeping continuity intact. Here's the link to that if you'd like to use it. It worked well for me and possibly made my experience with the first season better than some! Also, do note that the first season was preceded by a pilot episode a year earlier called "The Gathering". It's a TV movie for than anything, which is why some streaming places might not include it in the full show or place it as the first episode. It does have some cast changes compared to the show proper and some people say it's not a particularly good episode, but I would advise starting with it as I enjoyed it myself.
Todd Howard revealed Fallout 5 secrets to the Fallout TV show’s creators to avoid similarities
11.03.2024 - 12:11 / videogameschronicle.com / Todd Howard / Bethesda Softworks / Walton Goggins / Jonathan Nolan / Graham Wagner / Aaron Moten / Chris Scullion
Bethesda‘s Todd Howard shared details on Fallout 5 with the Fallout TV show’s creators, to avoid them coming up with similar ideas.
In an interview with Den of Geek, Howard, Jonathan Nolan – who’s a writer, director and executive producer on the show – and showrunner Graham Wagner explained that the series is an entirely new story set in the Fallout universe.
Nolan caused confusion among fans earlier this month when, while discussing the show with Total Film, he said: “It’s almost like we’re Fallout 5. I don’t want to sound presumptuous, but it’s just a non-interactive version of it, right?”
However, in this new interview Nolan explains that while the show is set in the same universe and timeline of the Fallout games, it’s neither designed to replace nor recount the events of the upcoming Fallout 5 game.
Speaking of the benefits of making an original show in the Fallout universe, he explained: “It means you have all of the benefit of beautiful storytelling that Todd and [Bethesda] has contributed to, but we also get to tell an original story within that world. As writers and filmmakers, it’s just a dream come true.”
“I think we made Fallout 6,” Wagner then replied, to which Nolan joked: “We know all about Fallout 5, we’re not telling anyone.”
Howard then clarified these jokes by explaining that he did indeed share some details on Fallout 5 with the show’s creators, if not perhaps the full thing.
“Well, there were some things where I said, ‘Don’t do this because we are going to do that in Fallout 5’,” he explained.
Howard also reiterated that the Fallout show will be a separate story from the games, saying: “It wasn’t the translation of an existing story. It was, what would the next thing be? It just happens to be a TV show.”
All episodes of the Fallout TV show will be made available on Amazon Prime Video on April 11.
Starring Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins and Aaron Moten, the show is being produced by Kilter Films, the production company behind HBO’s Westworld.
Fallout 5, however, is significantly further away, with Howard stating back in 2022 that Bethesda was prioritising Starfield then The Elder Scrolls 6 before it, meaning it could still be some time before anything concrete is shown.
Even Fallout fans won’t know what’s going to happen in the Fallout TV show
Amazon’s TV adaptation of the Fallout video game franchise is taking a fresh approach to its source material. Rather than rework an existing storyline from one of the games — or multiple games — it will tell an original story. That means longtime Fallout fans won’t already be spoiled on Fallout, the way that fans of another ambitious video-game-to-TV adaptation, The Last of Us, were.

3 Body Problem creators want episode 2’s reveal to sell you on the Netflix show
The creators of Netflix’s 3 Body Problem know there’s a lot riding on their adaptation. There’s the fact that the books it’s adapted from are a beloved sci-fi series popular around the world. It’s science fiction that gets not only heady but wondrous, often thought to be unadaptable. There’s also the fact that two-thirds of the showrunning team is coming to this from Game of Thrones, another big-budget TV epic, and one that left something of a bad taste in people’s mouths.
