Have you ever wondered what Fallout<\/em> might look like if it relocated from a post-apocalyptic America to the Lake District? Well, in 2025, Oxford-based video game developers Rebellion gave us the answer with Atomfall<\/em>, a first-person action survival joint set in an alt-history 1960s wherein the very real Windscale nuclear disaster actually turned England’s north-west into an active quarantine zone. A title driven more by its story, character work, and beautiful pastoral presentation than its actual gameplay, Atomfall<\/em> is a prime candidate for the lavish TV adaptation treatment. And that’s exactly what it’s getting, from The Assassin<\/em> and The Tourist<\/em> duo Harry and Jack Williams \u2014 aka Two Brothers Pictures \u2014 no less.<\/p>\n

The recipient of the Best British Game gong at this year’s BAFTA Game Awards, Atomfall<\/em> \u2014 which boasts a player base of almost four million gamers \u2014 has no shortage of existing TV series and film comparisons to recommend it for the streaming series treatment. Its set-up, which sees players assume the role of an amnesiac who wakes up in the quarantine zone and finds themself piecing together what has happened, harkens back to The Walking Dead<\/em> and 28 Years Later<\/em>. Elsewhere, the game’s blend of sci-fi and folk horror draws favourable comparisons to everything from the aforementioned Fallout<\/em> to The Last Of Us<\/em>, The Wicker Man<\/em>, Threads<\/em>, and even The League Of Gentlemen<\/em>. All of which is to say that an Atomfall<\/em> TV series makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAtomfall<\/em> has such a distinctive British tone and setting, and it\u2019s been a real joy developing it alongside the Rebellion team \u2013 especially as two brothers working alongside two brothers (Jason and Chris Kingsley),\u201d said the Williams brothers in a statement accompanying today’s announcement. \u201cThere\u2019s something very exciting about expanding this strange, unsettling story for television.\u201d Added Rebellion co-founders Jason and Chris Kingsley in their own statement: “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.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Atomfall<\/em> doesn’t have a streaming home just yet, and with no cast or further creative team members announced just yet, we suspect it may be a little while before the fictional post-apocalypse arrives in the UK (the jury remains out on an actual apocalypse coming for Blighty in the meantime). Still, with Fallout<\/em> and The Last Of Us<\/em> having kept us glued to our screens in shock and awe in recent years, consider us ready to head into our doomsday bunker for a bit of Atomfall<\/em> just as soon as it’s ready. Watch this space!<\/p>\n
