An Atomfall TV Adaptation Is Coming From People That Actually Played The Game

by

To say that 2025’s Atomfall was a delightful surprise is an understatement.

We were really impressed with this new game. It feels original and exciting, especially when so many games lately have just been updated versions of older titles. It definitely stands out and is a must-play for anyone who enjoys open-world adventures.

Atomfall is truly impressive for daring to break from typical open-world game design. But it’s even more remarkable for succeeding – the game creates a world that feels incredibly immersive, captivating, and beautiful.

What really impressed me, beyond the game’s captivating and intriguing world, was its strong British identity. Atomfall clearly embraces its influences, and it definitely left me wanting to play more.

There’s positive news regarding Atomfall! It won’t be continued as a sequel or downloadable content, but Two Brothers Pictures is turning it into a TV series.

The Atomfall Television Series Is Being Developed By The Team Behind Fleabag

Whenever I find out a video game is getting turned into a TV show or movie, the first thing I check is who’s working on it. It’s super important to me that they actually get the game – that they respect it and clearly understand what makes it special. I need to know they’re fans, too!

Consider the Fallout series as a good example. The showrunners, Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, have a proven track record of success, and Todd Howard from the game developers was involved to maintain the show’s faithfulness to the original game’s world and characters.

Atomfall appears to be in capable hands this time around. The show is being written and executive produced by Harry and Jack Williams, the creators of the popular comedy Fleabag. Importantly, they’re also already fans of the Atomfall source material.

According to Jason Kingsley, CEO and Creative Director of Atomfall developer Rebellion Developments, players Harry and Jack were really enthusiastic about the game, even discussing their favorite ways it could end while they were playing. He said it’s fantastic to collaborate with people who are as passionate about storytelling as they are, and he’s confident this partnership will result in a TV series that both fans of Atomfall and new viewers will enjoy.

Harry and Jack Williams admire the distinct British sensibility of Atomfall and are committed to preserving it.
