Artists often face the challenge of satisfying everyone's expectations, particularly when venturing into a well-established fandom. Jonathan Nolan, the mastermind behind the much-anticipated Fallout TV series for Amazon Prime Video, seems to comprehend this predicament. He recently admitted that attempting to appease fans is a practically unachievable task.

At a recent press event covered by a UK lifestyle tech magazine, Nolan stated that he didn't create the series to placate game players. He believes that trying to make others happy is a "fool's errand." Instead, he suggests artists should concentrate on creating art that brings them joy. He affirms this is the approach he took with the Fallout series, which premieres on Amazon Prime Video on April 11.

Nolan's View on Fan Satisfaction

"I don't think you can really set out to please the fans of anything," he expressed. "Or please anyone other than yourself. I think you have to come into this trying to make the show that you want to make and trusting that, as fans of the game [ourselves], we would find the pieces that were essential to us...and try to do the best version."

Nolan's Connection to Fallout

While Nolan doesn't aim to cater exclusively to die-hard Fallout fans, he doesn't intend to stray too far from the series' lore. He is a fan of Bethesda Softworks' franchise, admitting that Fallout 3 almost derailed his life. This intense experience with the game was part of his motivation to co-create the show.

Fallout's Influence on Nolan's Career

"It started, for me, with Fallout 3, which devoured about a year of my life," he recounted. "I was an aspiring young writer at that point, and it almost derailed my entire career. It’s so ludicrously playable and fun...seriously, the games were just incredible. It’s such a rare and unbelievable thing that I’ve gotten to do twice in my career, to take something that you love and get a chance to play in that universe, to create your own version. The first go-round for me was Batman, and this time with Fallout—a series of games that I absolutely loved."

Fallout TV Series Overview

First announced in July 2020 and later revealed in December 2023 with a trailer, Fallout is a canonical series that aligns closely with the games it's based on. Todd Howard, the head of Bethesda studio, serves as an executive producer alongside Nolan and Westward co-creator Lisa Joy. According to Nolan, the show is "almost" the fifth installment of the Fallout series.
