With Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’sFalloutTV series just around the corner, fans are eager to see how the famous game series has been adapted into an eight-episode-long TV series. TheFalloutTV series releases on August 19, 2025, on Amazon’s streaming service.
As part of the promotion for the upcoming TV series, the makers have been heavily promoting their upcoming venture. This includes several interviews and interactions where they revealed several known and unknown details about the TV series as well as the overallFalloutgame series.
Jonathan Nolan says the TV show is as good asFallout 5
Talking about how dynamic and wholesome the TV series is going to be, Nolan revealed that the show has so much storytelling that it provides many newer avenues for creative artists. He firsttold GamesRadar,
“Fallout, in my career, is closest to the work we did in adapting Batman, where there’s so much storytelling in the Batman universe that there is no canonical version of it, so you’re free to invent your own.”
He then elaborates how the game has many tales to tell, just like the new show. He even went on to say that the TV series isas good asFallout 5. He says,
“Each of the [Fallout] games is a discrete story – different city, distinct protagonist – within the same mythology. Our series sits in relation to the games as the games sit in relation to each other. 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?”

Nolan’s statement shed light on the fact that the makers compared the TV show to the original game. Nolan, on multiple occasions, has also shared how he had actually worked closely with Todd Howard, the original mind behindFalloutgames.
Jonathan Nolan contradicts his own statement
Ironically, just a few days later, Nolan backtracked on his own words about the TV series being almost likeFallout 5. In an interview with Den of Geek, he was asked about his statement, to which he replied,
“I think it would be very presumptuous for someone to assume that we reached the caliber of the games. But I think the conversation with me and Todd from the very beginning was the way the Fallout Universe has been constructed. All of these stories with different characters connecting to the same larger universe, and for us, as something to adapt as a world that we could contribute to, was just irresistible.”
Nolan added how it meant that they had all of the benefits of beautiful storytelling. He further adds how Howard and the rest of the team have contributed to recreating the stories ofFallout, but at the same time, they also got to tell an original story within that world. According to Nolan, making theFalloutTV serieswas a dream come true for the entire team.
