Move over Squid Game : another bleak fictional world is being turned into competitive reality television. In the midst of season 2 of Fallout , Amazon has announced a new series called Fallout Shelter. According to a casting call , the show will put competitors inside of Fallout’s iconic vaults and then test their survival skills in a re-creation of the postapocalyptic world. Presumably there will be no Deathclaws.
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 is being produced by the same company behind Squid Game: The Challenge and The Traitors, though there’s no word yet on when it will premiere. But it’ll span 10 episodes whenever it does start streaming. And given the popularity of the live-action Fallout adaptation, it’s no surprise the streamer is looking for relatively quick and easy ways to capitalize on that success. The biggest question, though, is if every contestant gets a working Pip-Boy.
