Amazon’s Fallout TV series is arguably one of the best video game adaptations we’ve ever seen. Due to show’s incredible success, many have been wondering if any other Bethesda games will make a similar leap into the world of streaming.
Of course, the top contender on everyone’s tongues is The Elder Scrolls franchise. Although Bethesda’s creative director, Todd Howard, has already shot down multiple pitches for its adaptation, there’s only one actor who can make it a reality, and that’s Henry Cavill.
Henry Cavill Can MakeThe Elder Scrolls TV Series a Reality
IGN decided to stop Howardon the red carpet of Fallout’s LA premiere, and ask him a few interesting questions. Although the main topic of the interview was the post-apocalytpic show, the interview also asked whether Bethesda is considering adaptingThe Elder Scrolls series to small screens. Here’s what Howard had to say:
Everybody asks, like, about Elder Scrolls, and I keep saying no also. And I would approach those – I’ll probably say no. You never know if someone’s gunna click. But I think this really came out of, ‘we think things are aligning to do a high-quality job.’ It wasn’t forced. It was kind of a natural relationship and ‘hey, this sounds really cool.’ As opposed to, ‘we should have a show,’ right? It never came from that.
You’ll be surprised to know that Howard told IGN that he didn’t want to make aFalloutTV show, either. Everything took a turn for him when he met director and screenwriter Jonathan Nolan. If Cavill pitches an Elder Scrolls adaptation to Howard, there’s a big chance that Bethesda might finally give into the project.

We all know that Cavill is an avid gamer. We’ve already seen him performing in adaptations such asThe Witcher,and he’ll also be coming back in the upcomingWarhammer 40Kseries. Heck, he has even played as Superman. He’s arguably one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood, and considering his immense passion for gaming in general, he’s one of the top choices for an Elder Scrolls adaptation.
Cavill’s reputation and influence can even make Howard change his mind onElder Scrolls’ adaptation. Nolan has already proven his work with the Fallout series, so if he gets on board the project as well, theElder Scrolladaptation is bound to break all records. The sky is the limit with an adaptation of a popular franchise likeThe Elder Scrolls. Now, it’s all on Cavill to make it a reality and give gamers what they deserve.
AnElder ScrollsTV Adaptation Is Being Rumored For Years Now
It’s not the first time we’ve seen rumors floating around about an adaptation of the franchise. Back in 2020, a report surfaced that Netflix was planning to adapt a video game series that would be as big as The Witcher.

There’s only one game that could compete with The Witcher’s adaptation, and that’s theElder Scrolls. With Howard revealing that he’s turned down pitches and nothing else in the works, it’s unlikely we’ll see anything coming out of these rumors.
In recent years, we’ve seen a rise in the number of high-budget video game adaptations. Apart fromFallout,shows likeHaloandThe Last of Usadaptations are a clear sign of a changing industry, one that further blurs the boundaries between interactive and non-interactive media.
