Amazon has shared the first image of the upcoming Fallout TV series via Twitter in a tweet celebrating the 25th anniversary of the series.
The series will be released on Amazon Prime and is being produced by Westworld production company Kilter Films.
Westworld co-creator and executive producer Jonathan Nolan is directing the pilot. Nolan, along with Westworld co-creator Lisa Joy and Athena Wickham will will executive produce the series.
Captain Marvel co-writer Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Silicon Valley co-executive producer Graham Wagner will be the showrunners on the TV series.
The Fallout TV series was first announced in July 2020. At the time it was announced Amazon Studios has licensed the rights to the games for Nolan and Joy to develop the TV series.
"Fallout is one of the greatest game series of all time," said Kilter Films’ Joy and Nolan at the 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."
Congratulations and Happy 25th Birthday! We made something special for the occasion. #Fallout #Fallout25 @BethesdaStudios @Bethesda @Fallout @Kilter_Films pic.twitter.com/eFg7t5O8Wa

Please be good.
I don’t really have any hope. After the snooze fest musical theater-esque LotR… I’m convinced Amazon produces more crap than not.
I’ve seen a lot of stuff from Amazon and not a fan of more than just LotR. That one just hit it in the nail for me to not have faith in a project like this they choose to make. Some of their original stuff is good though, like Marvelous
Ms. Maisel.
And don’t get me wrong, I hope this series is good. I’m just not convinced it will be.
The Legend of Vox Machina, Invincible, The Boys, The Expanse, Upload, The Man in the High Castle, Reacher, Good Omens, Jack Ryan, etc. Just a few highly rated Amazon Prime shows.
I've watched Vox Machina, Invincible, The Boys, Good Omens and they're all great to awesome. The Expanse is partly credited to Amazon only for picking it up when it was cancelled but still another amazing show they helped out.
Will watch Upload eventually because again, it has amazing reviews. I also enjoyed Wheel of Time aside from the ending, have yet to watch Lord of the Rings. Point is, judging their entire output on one show when it isn't even the same directors, writers, producers, etc. is silly.
If anything, you should be more worried that it comes from the Westworld co-creators since that show went to shit after Season 1, but Fallout shouldn't exactly be hard to adapt, doesn't have to try to be super smart like Westworld.
The Legend of Vox Machina is a production of Amazon Studios, Critical Role, and Titmouse for Prime Video.

Though my point would still stand even if they weren't involved in production because the writing, directing, producer team on Fallout is completely different to the team on The Lord of the Rings.
And every single network in the world has more than a few shitty TV Shows. There are still quite a few great, awesome shows on Amazon Prime which Amazon is involved in either the distribution, production or both.
My point is basically that looking at simply a shows "Network Distributor" doesn't really tell us all that much aside from the potential budget it will have (for example, if it's a CW show, you know it will be low budget, Lol).
Amazon has no budget issues. It's better to look at the writing/directing team behind it, Amazon isn't the writer/director, whoever they hire/contract are but I'm fairly sure Bethesda will be involved in this process too.
