Twisted Metal Season 2 to Premiere on Peacock Summer 2025
Peacock has revealed the official teaser trailer and art for Twisted Metal Season 2, which will premiere on the streaming service this summer.
Twisted Metal star and executive producer Anthony Mackie is currently starring in Captain America: Brave New World, opening in theaters this Friday, February 14. Michael Jonathan Smith (Cobra Kai) is the showrunner and executive producer of the series.
Following the revelations in the season one finale, John and Quiet find themselves entering the deadly Twisted Metal tournament, 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.
“The stakes couldn’t be higher as John Doe (Anthony Mackie) and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) risk their lives to compete in a dangerous demolition derby tournament,” said Michael Jonathan Smith. “The prize? A single wish, their greatest heart’s desire, granted. The only problem is sixteen other drivers have wishes of their own.
“Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz lead a stellar cast, including Will Arnett & Joe Seanoa (aka Samoa Joe) as fan favorite Sweet Tooth, and Anthony Carrigan as the iconic tournament host Calypso, in a fast-paced, hysterical, thrilling season with unforgettable characters. It’s too bad not all of them will survive.”
Twisted Metal stars executive producer Anthony Mackie (Captain America: Brave New World, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), Stephanie Beatriz (Encanto, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and Joe Seanoa (AEW), with executive producer Will Arnett (LEGO Masters, Murderville) and Anthony Carrigan (Barry, Superman).
The recurring guest stars include Saylor Bell Curda, Lisa Gilroy, Richard de Klerk, Patty Guggenheim, Tiana Okoye and Michael James Shaw.
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.
The executive producers include Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, Anthony Mackie, Will Arnett and Marc Forman (Electric Avenue), Jason Spire (Inspire Entertainment), Grant Dekernion, Peter Principato (Artists First), Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan from PlayStation Productions and Hermen Hulst, Head of PlayStation Studios.
