Following the release of the finale of Fallout Season 2, co-showrunner and writer Geneva Robertson-Dworet has shed some light on her vision for Season 3, including the highly anticipated return of Ron Perlman‘s super mutant. In a recent interview, the veteran screenwriter opened up about Perlman’s place in the Fallout franchise, noting that she has big plans for this particular humanoid mutant.

While speaking with The Direct, Robertson-Dworet confirmed that she considers Ron Perlman’s super mutant to be a “larger character in this world.”
“I’ve always seen that [super mutant] as a big role,” she noted, before adding, “It’s just kind of how that story is going to unfold with that character is, you know, again, we’re hoping to have the opportunity to continue this story, and we like the idea of hinting at larger wars, larger fights in this world that are taking place that maybe aren’t in the region of the wasteland where our characters currently are, and to get to those things. So I’d say, just because he appears in one scene this season, I hope people know that he is a larger character in this world, in our minds.”
In Fallout Season 2 Episode 6, viewers see Ron Perlman’s super mutant for the first time as he rescues an incapacitated Ghoul (Walton Goggins). In addition to introducing the Hellboy star to the show, the cameo also continued Perlman’s long-term connection to the franchise, with the actor having lent his voice to numerous Fallout games.
Robertson-Dworet also teased a possible crossover with Fallout 4’s chapter of the Brotherhood in Boston. “I think the Brotherhood of Steel has the most ability in this world for mobility, because they have a dirigible. And the Commonwealth, in our minds, has the greatest tech, and so I’m really excited to see more of the Brotherhood,” she stated.
“There are so many chapters scattered across the wasteland, and they all have quite a unique character to them. So I’m excited to bring more of them and their cultures into this show,” Robertson-Dworet added.
