Fallout TV Show Could Now Last Five Seasons After ‘Immensely Surprising’ Popularity, Say Creators

They'll fall into the trap of never creating a proper ending aren't they?

Notes to writers and producers.

IF👏 YOU👏 MAKE👏 AN👏 ADAPTATION👏 THAT👏 IS👏 FAITHFUL👏 TO👏 THE👏 ORIGINAL,👏 YOU👏 WILL👏 MAKE👏 LOTS👏 OF👏 MONEY.👏

Witcher died when they started changing things

Rings of Power died when they started changing things

Game of Thrones died when they ran out of source material

Halo died when they started changing things

It has nothing to do with race, or gender, or whatever bullshit you hide behind for your ego trips. Take your ego out of the equation. Stop thinking "I can improve on this". No, you can't. People love this. Just write this. Stop thinking "oh, this would be so much better if I added--" NOPE. Stop. Even if you're extending the canon, consult the original authors. And if the original authors say "this doesn't really match the tone", then FUCKING REWRITE IT UNTIL IT MATCHES THE TONE.

I don't think you get a $153m budget without expecting it to be popular.

I just hope it doesn't overstay its welcome like just about every show these days.

Make 5 seasons then end it. Nothing worse than shows that go on too long then start to become shit.

As a huge Fallout fan since the aughts, I was pleasantly surprised. The show is faithful to it source material and nails tone the games are known for. Some cameos helped the with dark humor. Story was interesting too, especially the b plot about the vaults.

Okie doke

I wonder how many creators are taking less money to get better support at outlets other than cancel-happy HBO and Netflix? Five seasons is a great deal if it works out for them.

Watched the first season before Amazon added ads to their streaming. It was pretty decent. Not decent enough to watch ads or pay more.

If they could commit to just five seasons it could be a really good show, but if they plan to try to keep it going and milk it, it'll be complete garbage by season 3

They started with an already well detailed, quite deep, world (including already having various stories), which already had quite a number of fans (thanks to it being in a series of Role Playing Games - which is pretty much the kind of games closest to a TV Series or Movie), didn't fuck it up by writting a bad script, didn't fuck it up by getting bad actors and didn't fuck it up by being cheap on FX.

It's not exactly surprising that it was a success..

It's maybe a little optimist at this point to expect at least 5 seasons - mainly because that's plenty of time to fuck it up, especially around the point when the initial story either wraps up or gets boring, which is were plenty of great TV Series turn to shit - but yeah, so far so good.

If the other seasons are as good as the first season I'm all for this. Adaptations of game franchises can be hit or miss but this was really well done.

I think it would’ve been even bigger if they released it weekly.

Almost no show needs to go past 3 seasons. It's almost always a bad idea.

This is like when the show runner for The Handmaid's Tale said he'd love for it to be 10 seasons long when it stopped being good after one.

So basically they never planned a proper ending for it? I think this is the post that makes me decide to skip it, sorry.

EDIT: Maybe they'll structure it so the ending episodes call back to a problem from the start and all the seasons in between were just side quests, lol.

Has Amazon released anything that's made it a full five seasons?

Creators, "Now let's ruin it by going to the most fan-sacred places in the Fallout universe."

I though the writing was so bad. Only the franchise carried it over being forgettable. I mean the black main character is so badly written, most of what he does doesn't make sense if you look further then some very flat character development. I hope they can improve and remove some of the cringe elements. I love Fallout, but it has a diffent humor, the show didn't manage to replicate much.

Wait people are actually watching this I thought it was just getting morbbed

Everything except the last episode was awesome

Hard pass.

That fact they made the show about a pretty girl that just wants some dick instead of a show about the numerous tragic themes that fallout has instantly told me that they will milk this production for every last drop of money.

This is being produced be the real life Vault-Tek after all. Fucking Amazon.
