Amazon Prime Video has officially greenlit 'Fallout Shelter', a reality show set in the Fallout universe, and is now recruiting participants.

Borrowing its title from the original game, this project is a survival-style show where contestants compete in a confined environment. Participants will live in a 'Vault', a subterranean bunker set, and tackle various missions. The core of the competition hinges on proving one's mettle across the seven defining stats of the Fallout universe: Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck. The producers aim to capture the original's signature dark humor and retro-futuristic aesthetic to create an immersive post-apocalyptic environment.

It is not just about physical or mental grit; social interaction is also a key evaluation factor. The contestants, dubbed 'Dwellers', must forge alliances or compete for power within the bunker, often facing strategic dilemmas and moral crossroads. A hefty cash prize will be awarded to the final winner who proves their creativity, teamwork, and resilience.

This series is planned as a 10-episode run, co-produced by Studio Lambert, Kilter Films, Amazon MGM Studios, and Bethesda Game Studios. Notably, original series developer Todd Howard is participating as an executive producer, which is expected to help maintain the identity of the original work.

The production team is accepting applications until February 15. Eligibility is limited to adults aged 21 and over who hold a valid passport and have no restrictions on traveling to locations designated by the crew, such as the US and the UK. Filming is slated to begin around June 2026 and will span roughly three weeks.
