Yesterday , Prime Video give viewers a first full facial expression at its upcomingFallout show . base on the RPG dealership by Interplay and Bethesda , the series by all odds look like it belongs with theactual game , and that was n’t just the missionary station argument — for all purport and purposes , this is their melodic theme of Fallout 5 .
Showrunner Graham Wagner essentially said as such during a roundtable interview at CCXP . In adjudicate to treat this as “ just another installation ” of the franchise , Wagner and his collaborators — executive director producersLisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan , plus co - showrunner Geneva Robertson - Dworet — wanted to ensure this bear alongside the game and beguile their corporate spirit . In lieu of a custom - made fiber , for example , they decide to split up the narrative across three characters : Ella Purnell ’s Lucy , the daughter of Vault 33 ’s Overseer who leaves home to search the waste of Los Angeles ; Maximus ( Aaron Moten ) , a member of the Brotherhood of Steel ; and Walton Goggins ’ Ghoul , a H.M.S. Bounty hunter that ’s hundreds of class old .
Nolan noted that in the games , the player - made Vault Dweller can be whatever the taradiddle needs them to be , which does n’t easily translate to video . With the three leads , the creators came up with a “ brilliant ward-heeler ” to utilize them as a representation of the games ’ RPG mechanics , and to also disembowel on Sergio Leone ’s The Good , The Bad , & the Ugly for further aspiration . “ Having these character occupy these very different corners of the fallout universe gave us a chance to encompass some of the ambition of the games , ” he explained . “ Not just in term of globe construction , but in terminal figure of morality and in terms of the gray area . It ’s a very different mode of storytelling . ”

While Fallout 76 hit the five - year mark in mid - November , there has n’t been a single - histrion Fallout game since 2015 ’s Fallout 4 . It might be a good bit of years before an actual Fallout 5 take in the light of solar day , so depending on when that game releases , and how long the show running , Otto Wagner and company ’s conclusion to cover this show just another mainline installation may not be an entirely bad one .
