The Prime Video Fallout TV Show is almost here, and the first official trailer has just come out. Unsurprisingly, the internet is in a complete frenzy after getting glimpses at what’s to come.
The show is rumored to have been expensive to produce and is an ambitious passion project from husband-wife producer duo Jonathon Nolan and Lisa Joy. And, get this—it all started from a small lunch between Nolan and Fallout‘s mastermind, Todd Howard.
From a Handshake to Fallout TV Show Deal
The Fallout TV show all started from a simple lunch between two passionate minds
The thrilling origin story for the upcoming TV show is quite unexpected, revealed during a press conference for the show. Nolan’s journey began when he became obsessed with Fallout 3, which consumed about a year of his life—a risky situation, especially when he was still an aspiring young writer, very early in his career.

With ten movies and five episodes of TV shows to his credit for 2023, Dermot Mulroney seems to be vying to fill the gap left by the retirement of Bruce Willis.
