BAFTA-Winning Atomfall Heads to TV From Fleabag Producers

Atomfall, the BAFTA-winning British videogame, is heading to television in a move that signals fresh confidence in game adaptations.

Reports indicate indie studio Rebellion has teamed with Two Brothers Pictures to develop a series based on the title. Two Brothers brings strong credentials to the project as the producer behind The Assassin and Fleabag, giving the adaptation an immediate measure of prestige and industry attention. A series is now being worked up, according to the report.

The partnership pairs a homegrown game success with a producer that knows how to turn sharp British storytelling into must-watch television.

The announcement lands at a moment when studios and producers keep searching for game properties with built-in audiences and distinctive worlds. Atomfall appears to offer both. The source report describes the game as a critical and commercial success, a combination that often makes executives look twice at adaptation potential. For Rebellion, the project opens another path to expand one of its standout properties beyond the console and PC market.

What remains unclear is how closely the show will follow the game and when audiences might see it. No casting, network, or platform details have emerged in the source report. Still, the pairing matters. Rebellion brings ownership of the source material, while Two Brothers offers a track record in character-driven British TV that could help Atomfall stand out in a crowded adaptation pipeline.

The next phase will test whether Atomfall can convert industry buzz into a greenlight and, eventually, a series that broadens the game’s reach. That matters not just for Rebellion and Two Brothers, but for the wider entertainment business, which continues to bet that the right game adaptation can become far more than a licensing play.
