Welcome to the vaults. Amazon Prime Video has ordered a competition series based on the world of “Fallout,” titled “Fallout Shelter.”
Casting is now open for the 10-episode reality series, which is produced by Studio Lambert in co-production with Kilter Films and in association with Amazon MGM Studios and Bethesda Game Studios.
Per the logline: “Set inside Vault-Tec’s bomb-proof vaults, ‘Fallout Shelter’ drops a diverse group of contestants into an immersive, high-stakes world inspired by the games’ signature dark humor, retro-futurism, and post-apocalyptic survival storytelling. Across a series of escalating challenges, strategic dilemmas, and moral crossroads, contestants must prove their ingenuity, teamwork, and resilience as they compete for safety, power, and ultimately a huge cash prize.”
The show promises to blend large-scale challenges with “deeply social, psychological, and narrative-driven gameplay” in the spirit of the “Fallout” franchise and its “choice-driven ethos.”
The first “Fallout” game debuted in 1997 and has since spawned a handful of sequels and spinoffs. The Amazon TV Show, starring Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, Aaron Moten and Kyle MacLachlan, launched in 2024. The competition series shares a name with the “Fallout Shelter” mobile game.
