Total Filmin haastattelussa tulevan Amazon Prime Videon Fallout-sarjan puuhamies eli "showrunner" Jonathan Nolan huomautti, että Fallout on sarjana vähän kuin Fallout 5.
"Each of the [Fallout] games is a discrete story - different city, distinct protagonist - within the same mythology. Our series sits in relation to the games as the games sit in relation to each other. It's almost like we're Fallout 5. I don't want to sound presumptuous, but it's just a non-interactive version of it, right?"
Jonathan Nolanin mukaan Falloutin työstö on ollut samanlaista kuin The Dark Knightin ja The Dark Knight Risesin. Toisin sanoen luovaa vapautta on ollut.
"Fallout, in my career, is closest to the work we did in adapting Batman, where there's so much storytelling in the Batman universe that there is no canonical version of it, so you're free to invent your own."
