Amazon is developing a Fallout television series based on the game series. Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy are working on it.
Fallout: The Television Series

I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner, actually. I know that at one point, after Fallout 2 had been developed, there was already talk of something like a movie being done, but it never materialized. I think the Fallout universe would make for a good TV setting, particularly in that while being post-apocalyptic, which is something we haven't seen much of in TV, there are vaults/bunkers with people living in them, where unique experiments are being done, with some emerging from these vaults to the world for the first time and what we see is a world that is heavily reliant on 60's look and feel, which could be very interesting to see in a TV series.
I just hope a Fallout TV series remembers to take some of the more ridiculous elements from the series and not be a constantly grim style of post apocalyptic story. Fallout as a series usually did a good job of mixing moments of "this world is completely fucked up" with moments of ridiculousness.
Even though I have grown tired of the "post apocalyptic, dystopian future" stories in general I want to see where this goes. Could be fun if done right. Like TWD meets Z Nation in a radiated wasteland with lots of gunplay.

I think it's actually tough to do Fallout right. It needs to maintain a somewhat serious tone with a touch of 50s futurism and modern world satire without going into full on camp. Pretty tough to pull off. Probably easier to go full on comedy or full on grimdark future world.
This show will not be what we expect.
Which, in a very weird meta way, is the most Fallout thing of all.

As long as a Vault Dweller walks into a bathroom and finds a skeleton next to a box of Blamco Mac and Cheese with a ladle in the toilet bowl I'm on board.
And Sugar Bombs.
The mythology of the world has always been better than the gameplay.
I'm old enough to have laughed my head off when I read it in the newspaper comics section.And Sugar Bombs.
Lots of set leaks starting to come out.
That's looking pretty amazing. The budget looks to be pretty big for this one for all the attention to detail that they're putting in.
They could have all the different styles like Fallout 4 had.
I like what I see, I just hope they won't include a 10mm with a silencer as long as your forearm. 
Sweet. Vault 33.More bits and pieces...
Amazon’s Fallout TV series starts a new plot in the same universe as the games

Agreed. I’m not interested in watching “The Road” in the Fallout universe. I’d like a wry sense of humor, but not one that’s overdone. The Fallout world is pretty bleak, but there’s also the sense that, slim as it is, the human race will survive.
Been awhile since I’ve played the Fallout games, but the overall vibe reminded me of those old Zork text games in that *most* of the humor came from the things like documents and things found in the world while the actual adventure could be fairly serious and straightforward.
How that translates to the screen remains to be seen.
