Fallout 5 won't start development until after The Elder Scrolls 6 launches, so we're a long way off from the next numbered game in the series, but the Amazon show has ignited a newfound hype in the franchise. So, the question is whether a third party will develop a spin-off akin to Obsidian's New Vegas in the meantime.
Fallout TV Series Won't Say Which New Vegas Ending Is Canon

Spoilers for the Fallout TV series.
At the end of the Fallout show, we see a shot of New Vegas seemingly in ruin, the Strip littered with dead deathclaws, broken down securitrons, and crashed NCR vertibirds. It's been 15 years since the game, and clearly, the Mojave has struggled, but the big question is what ending led us here?
In New Vegas, you can side with a slew of factions as they fight for control of the Strip. There's Mr. House himself, the pre-war RobCo CEO who has survived 200 years to reignite his empire, Yes Man who helps you usher in an independent New Vegas, the NCR who wish to expand their reach in the West Coast by taking the Mojave, and Caesar's Legion, a bloodthirsty clan apeing the style of ancient warriors.
The time jump gives showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet some leeway in avoiding answering who the Courier aligned with. So, while there are plenty of options, they might not matter in the grand scheme of things.
"All we really want the audience to know is that things have happened, so that there isn't an expectation that we pick the show up in season two, following one of the myriad canon endings that depend on your choices," Wagner said in an interview with GQ Magazine. "With that post-credits stuff, we really wanted to imply, 'Guys, the world has progressed, and the idea that the wasteland stays as it is decade-to-decade is preposterous to us.' It's just a place [of] constant tragedy, events, horrors - there's a constant churn of trauma. We're definitely implying more has occurred."
While they won't say which New Vegas ending is canon, the appearance of the Brotherhood of Steel's Prydwen airship seemingly makes one of two Fallout 4 endings canon .
So, as 15 years have passed, who controlled the Strip is a moot point. There were still fights over it after the second Battle of Hoover Dam, which we don't see in the game. Maybe House has a backup plan and is still alive, maybe Caesar's Legion disbanded after his inevitable death, and maybe the NCR pulled out of the Mojave as it fell into disarray following the collapse of Shady Sands. Whatever the case, "things have happened". We'll probably find out what things next season.
Fallout is a franchise built around a series of RPGs set in a post-nuclear world, in which great vaults have been built to shelter parts of humankind. There are six main games, various spin-offs, tabletop games, and a TV series from Amazon Studios.

Fallout took the Alien approach with the Brotherhood of Steel — and it worked
Fallout is a show totally committed to its world. This instinct goes deeper than just embracing the irreverent tone, lore, or story of the games the Prime Video series adapted. Instead, it’s about making the terrain of Fallout’s Wasteland feel lived-in and real — right down to making the gadgetry actually function.
