Peacock has announced that “Twisted Metal” Season 2 is revving its engine and headed our way this summer, releasing an official teaser and poster art to celebrate the news.
Following the revelations in the season one finale, John and Quiet find themselves entering the deadly Twisted Metal tournament itself in Season 2, a sinister demolition derby hosted by a mysterious man known as Calypso. As they try to survive an onslaught of dangerous new foes and familiar faces alike, including the murderous clown Sweet Tooth, things get complicated for John when he reunites with his long-lost sister, the vigilante Dollface.
Showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith (Cobra Kai) previews, “The stakes couldn’t be higher as John and Quiet risk their lives to compete in the dangerous demolition derby tournament. The prize? A single wish, their greatest hearts desire, granted. The only problem is sixteen other drivers have wishes of their own. In a fast-paced, hysterical, thrilling season with unforgettable characters, it’s too bad not all of them will survive.”
Anthony Mackie (“John Doe”), Stephanie Beatriz (“Quiet”) and Joe Seanoa (“Sweet Tooth”) are all back for Season 2, with Will Arnett returning as the voice of “Sweet Tooth.”
Emmy and SAG Award-nominated actor Anthony Carrigan (Barry, Superman) will play Calypso, with Richard de Klerk (A Teenage Prophet), Patty Guggenheim (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law), and Tiana Okoye (Panhandle) also joining Season 2 as recurring guest stars.
“Twisted Metal” is a half-hour live-action TV series based on the classic PlayStation game series, a high-octane action comedy, based on an original take by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick (Deadpool, Zombieland) and written by Michael Jonathan Smith (Cobra Kai).
The first season is about a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, he faces the various savage marauders of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.
