2025's action-survival game Atomfall, known by some as "British Fallout," is getting a TV show. Two Brothers Pictures has announced that it's secured the rights to make a TV adaptation of the Rebellion game, which just won Best British Game at the BAFTAs. Rebellion will be involved, too.
The game is inspired by the real-world Windscale nuclear disaster of 1957, with the action taking place inside a walled-in quarantine zone in the aftermath of the nuclear incident. In the game, players awake in the quarantine zone with no recollection of how they got there, with players seeking to find answers and ultimately a way out.
Atomfall reached more than 3.7 million players globally, a number that was no doubt assisted by the game's inclusion on Xbox Game Pass. The TV show will "expand on the game's mythology while remaining faithful to its tone, themes, and British roots," according to a press release.
Two Brothers Pictures was founded by ... two brothers: Harry and Jack Williams, who are writers and executive producers for the show. They are working with Rebellion co-founders Jason and Chris Kingsley, who are also brothers. "There's something very exciting about expanding this strange, unsettling story for television," Harry and Jack Williams said.
The Kingsley brothers said they were impressed by the Williams brothers' understanding of and appreciation for the Atomfall universe. "It is always exciting to work with people who share the same passion for creating and telling great stories and we are sure that this partnership will help to deliver a television series that will delight fans of the game and beyond," they said.
While Atomfall was compared to Bethesda's Fallout franchise from the onset, the developers themselves understand and appreciate the association with Fallout, but also believe Atomfall is "our own thing."
Harry and Jack Williams are known for writing and producing the popular TV shows Fleabag and The Assassin. There is no word yet on a cast, release date, or streaming platform/network for the series, however.
As for Prime Video's Fallout TV show, it's had two successful seasons so far and is coming back for a third. Filming could start this summer.
