Fallout TV show! : Fallout Series Discussion

» Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:39 pm

The universe of Fallout is vast and full of potential. Has Bethesda ever considered a TV Show for Fallout? Contacting a TV channel (Company?) to see if they'd be interested? (I would recommend showcase, for both US and Canada)

The show could follow someone from a Vault as they venture out into the wastes and learn about local politics and situations.

Their could also be spin offs!

I ask Bethesda (if your at all interested) To give main character gender a 50/50 chance! Poster boy is standard but the game itself allows the player to choose man or woman. If their are spin offs then perhaps the shows could take turns. Example: First show may have a male character thus the next one will have a female character or Visa Versa!

Anyway i think that would be awesome! Hopefully 20+ episodes a season for 10 seasons XD

Please consider this!

Just dont film it in Canada and make it look like the US.

THere are a huge amount of abandoned warehouses, industrial lands, military bases and so on in Russia/Ukraine, so I think it would be possible to use those areas for filming.

THe issue with one character shows is that they generally dont work to well. You need characters to act as the intermediary for the audience, so what you would probably get is perhaps 3-4 main characters travelling around. Frakly the state of some of those areas in Russia, you would think the apocalypse has happened already.

What you are suggesting in Canada is more akin to Jeremiah which lasted a couple of seasons and was a Post Apocalyptic show with Luke Perry as the lead.

Not everything needs a TV show.
I think a Fallout show would be pointless, and very likely fail hard, as well as cost an insane amount of money.

Many shows do that.... For the last 40 years.

Canada is cheaper to film in than the US. And much cheaper than using Russia, as you suggest.

I have no idea how expensive Russian tv shows are to film compared to Canada.
