Fallout game head Todd Howard wants Ron Perlman to appear in the future projects

Prime Video's Fallout premiered with its first season in 2024 to much critical acclaim and several cameos from the video game, and was hailed as one of the best TV adaptations of a game. However, the one thing that stood out to fans of the game was that, despite the multiple cameos from the game, one particularly important cameo was missed in the series. This was none other than the iconic narrator Ron Perlman.

After Fallout Season 1 premiered, fans were eager to point out that Perlman was missing on the Prime Video adaptation, and Howard, along with the other creatives, explained that they wanted to "pace themselves". However, it appears that this streak will be broken in Season 2 of the Prime Video adaptation, and Perlman will finally make his appearance.

Keep reading to find out why fans have reached this conclusion.

Ron Perlman might finally be making his Fallout cameo in the Prime Video TV show

Anybody who has played the Fallout games is well aware that Ron Perlman is deeply linked to the universe as the narrator of the cinematic opening sequence in 1977 and for almost every sequel that came after. His involvement in the universe speaks to his importance, so his not being a part of the Prime Video adaptation was the only thing that didn't sit right with fans of the show.

Talking about the decision, Todd Howard (head of the Bethesda Game Studios) explained that they wanted to pace themselves and make sure that if and when iconic references are made to the game, they're well-deserved (much like the "War never changes" dialogue):

"There are so many treasures in these games that I think some of the characters, some of the factions, some of the locations, we didn't want to try to tackle everything in one season."

It appears that the time has finally come, and Fallout Season 2, which recently premiered with its first two episodes, will feature a cameo from Perlman. When asked about the same in a recent appearance, he said that he "couldn't talk" about the second season, teasing his appearance. Perlman also joined the cast of Season 2 during the premiere event for the second season, further pushing these rumors.

Additionally, in the teaser released for the second season, fans of the game are convinced that an unseen voice heard in it belongs to none other than Ron Perlman. Most convincing of all is a recent comment from Todd Howard himself, who talked about how important it was to include Perlman in a way that did justice to the actor's importance to the game:

"When you think about him and you think about that voice, you think about: is there a place and what's the right one?"

Finding the right place for Perlman in Fallout was important to Howard, and it appears Season 2 might be it. There is no official confirmation of the same for now, so we'll have to hold on for more episodes of Season 2 to premiere on Prime Video to find out if the actor does make an appearance.
