Here’s what co-showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet had to say about the show post-mortem (via Deadline); needless to say, it was challenging adapting a 50+ hour series of games into a seasonal TV series.

“Fallout originated from a really wild and creative period of video game making, and television is seems to be just catching up to that moment now, similar to movies catching up to the somewhat psychedelic Marvel Comics of the 60s and 70s. So I feel like we’re in that pattern.

The crazy thing about making Season 1 is that you have eight hours to adapt a franchise, in which there’s thousands of hours of gameplay to draw from, and it just means that you have to leave so many of your favourite pieces of the mythology behind. So we’re honestly just excited to get to be able to dive deeper into it and show audiences more of this incredible world.”
