Since the summer of 2005 I’ve posted countless scoops about both movies and television that have been confirmed by the people involved.
The Big Picture Self-proclaimed fan of the original video games, co-writer and showrunner Graham Wagner ventured into the Wasteland for Prime Video's Fallout adaptation series with writing partner Geneva Roberston-Dworet during the pandemic. After partnering with Westworld creator Jonathan Nolan, the show is finally releasing to Prime Video, with all eight episodes dropping on April 11 for easy binging.
GRAHAM WAGNER: Oh, that's a great complaint to have. Hopefully that isn't the audience's complaint. That would mean something has gone terribly wrong with the streaming platform. WAGNER: It can help the show because there's the discourse, of course. That's what we're after. But sometimes with a show like this, the discourse can backfire and you see your ending coming. I think someone a long time ago said, “No writers’ room can compete with Reddit.” It's like 10,000 geniuses working 24/7. They're gonna get ahead of you. So I think in the eight-episode model, binging works quite well.
WAGNER: We're at a point where we just have to hire writers, write the episodes, shoot the episodes. So, we're ready to go, but there's a lot of decisions. It is a big show, and it is a big investment. I think Amazon wants to be absolutely sure they want to make a second season before they pay for it all because it's an undertaking.
WAGNER: Well, with such a short season you figure everything out kind of early because you don't have that much space. I think if we were to do a 24-episode version of this show — which would be so fun, by the way, but also I think our fatality rate would be high — in the 24-episode model, you have to engage in a fair bit more improvising by necessity because you just cannot figure out that level of detail for that long.
