Amazon is casting contestants for a Fallout-themed reality competition

Kotaku reports Amazon is casting contestants for a Fallout-themed reality competition that currently carries the working title "Fallout Shelter." The company’s live-action Fallout series is in the middle of season two and has been a big hit for the streaming service.

The casting website, spotted by VGC, features a banner asking if people have what it takes to "win a big cash prize." According to the site, contestants—called "dwellers"—will live together in a top-secret vault and compete in games that test the seven core attributes from the Fallout world: Strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck (S.P.E.C.I.A.L.). The series will also test loyalty and alliances and is described as a game of power dynamics, popularity and social strategy that will ultimately result in a huge cash prize.

The casting page asks applicants to rank themselves on a scale of one to ten for traits such as intelligence and agility, suggesting contestants may submit their own S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats. Amazon has not released a teaser trailer for the reality show, casting is ongoing, and the piece noted the working title duplicates an existing "Fallout Shelter."
