A popular streaming series set in a dystopian world has inspired a competition show based on that world.
No, we’re not talking about Squid Game: The Challenge. It’s Fallout, Prime Video’s series set in a post-nuclear world and based on the huge video game franchise.
The competition show is called Fallout Shelter, and it will feature “a series of escalating challenges, strategic dilemmas, and moral crossroads [in which] contestants must prove their ingenuity, teamwork, and resilience as they compete for safety, power, and ultimately a huge cash prize.” It will be set inside the bomb-proof Vault-Tec vaults seen in the series.
Fallout Shelter will join a roster of competition shows at Prime Video that also includes Beast Games and 007: Road to a Million.
There is, in fact, a connection to Squid Game: The Challenge with Fallout Shelter: Both are produced by Studio Lambert, the All3Media company that’s also behind The Traitors). Studio Lambert and Fallout scripted series producer Kilter Films are producing Fallout Shelter in association with Amazon MGM Studios and Bethesda Game Studios, maker of the video game.
Stephen Lambert, Tim Harcourt, Jack Burgess, Toni Ireland, Stephen Yemoh, Stephen Lovelock and Amina Badresingh executive produce Fallout Shelter for Studio Lambert; Abi Lambrinos is the executive in charge of production. Also executive producer are Kilter Films’ Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy and Athena Wickham and Bethesda Game Studios’ James Altman and Todd Howard.
