Amazon purchased the rights to produce a live-action project in 2020, and the show was announced that July alongside the reveal of Kilter Films' involvement. Shortly afterward, Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan became its head writers, and Bethesda Game Studios producer Todd Howard, who directed various games in the series, signed on to executive produce alongside Joy and Nolan. The duo of Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner were hired as the series' showrunners in January 2022, and Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell were cast in February and March, respectively.

Fallout is scheduled to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on April 12, 2024.
