A new report suggests that Prime Video is working on a reality show adaptation of the popular mobile and PC game Fallout Shelter. According to industry insider Jeff Sneider, the show is being produced by Jonathan Nolan, who also serves as the executive producer for the core Fallout live-action series. The competition would reportedly place contestants in a live-action representation of a Vault, mirroring the “MrBeast” or “Squid Game” style of large-scale survival challenges. Production for the project is expected to begin in 2026.

Building and Surviving the Vault

The core concept of the show will reportedly involve contestants building and managing their own vaults. Much like in the game, participants will be tasked with keeping their “vault dwellers” alive while navigating various challenges and resource management tasks. This unique spin on the Fallout franchise aims to capitalize on the massive success of the main television series, which just released its second episode of season two on December 23, 2025. By focusing on the management aspect of the series, the show offers a different way for fans to engage with the post-apocalyptic world.

Expanding the Fallout Universe

This rumored reality show represents a further expansion of the Fallout universe on Prime Video. While the main series tells an original story within the game’s central universe, the Fallout Shelter adaptation would provide a more interactive and experimental format. Neither Bethesda nor Amazon has officially confirmed the project yet, but the involvement of key producers from the main series suggests that it is a serious consideration. As the franchise continues to grow in popularity, more creative adaptations of its various spin-offs seem increasingly likely.
