LOS ANGELES – Following the renewal of Amazon Prime’s Fallout series, co-showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet cooled fan expectations by announcing that season two would be released in 2034. Wagner and Robertson-Dworet confirmed the gap between seasons in a Zoom call with members of the media earlier today.
“It’s just how television is done now. We outline the thing, then write the thing, then get notes on the thing, then rewrite the thing, then get notes on the rewrite of the thing, then survive the studio being sold to a new company while new executives decide if they still want to do the thing, then agree to a reduced order of episodes of the thing, then get another set of notes on the thing, then do yet another rewrite of the thing,” Robertson-Dworet shared. “We’d love to have it to you sooner, but this is the creative process.”
Wagner gave the press an even deeper perspective of bringing Fallout to television screens.
“After the final rewrites are done, we’ll finally get to shoot the thing, then I’ll get into a heated argument with Walton [Goggins] about which of us is more handsome and he’ll storm off the set forcing us to recast him in the thing, we’ll cast Pedro Pascal at the behest of Amazon, add a meta joke about the recast, and then proceed to reshoot the thing,” Wagner said. “Once filming is done, we have to edit the thing, and that’s where we realize we didn’t shoot enough footage and have to go back and shoot more of the thing.”
Just before the call wrapped, Executive Producer Todd Howard made a surprise announcement.
“I know Graham and Geneva are hard at work on season two of Fallout, but I am here to announce that they will also be working on adaptations of Starfield and The Elder Scrolls. We’ll be using the same exact process to bring both of those game series to the big screen,” said Howard. “Sadly, this will offset season two of Fallout by another ten years or so. I deeply apologize to anyone who was looking forward to more Fallout in 2034. Please be patient with us as we work hard to bring you these excellent shows.”
At press time, Wagner and Robertson-Dworet were presented with notes from Howard that indicated Howard hadn’t even read the thing he was giving notes on.
