The renowned video game inspired Twisted Metal is a post-apocalyptic action-comedy series. It revolves on Anthony Mackie's character, John Doe, a loudmouthed deliveryman with no memory of his past. His task was to deliver a secret package across a perilous and turbulent America.
He faces various antagonists along the way, including the scary clown Sweet Tooth, played by Joe Seanoa and voiced by Will Arnett. Ten episodes of the series premiered on Peacock in July 2023. Due to its success, it was renewed for a second season, which will premiere on July 31, 2025, with additional characters such as Anthony Carrigan's Calypso.
The second season of Twisted Metal appears to be more ambitious than the first. The series will explore more of the world's lore with additional episodes, stunts, and new characters, giving fans a more thrilling and exciting journey.
More about Twisted Metal Season 2
Season 2 of Twisted Metal will air exclusively on Peacock on July 31, 2025, and fans can expect a much bigger season. The next season promises to be even more exciting and engaging, with longer episodes, more brutal vehicle clashes, and more characters from the original video games.
Season 2 of Twisted Metal will build on the universe shown in Season 1, according to creator Michael Jonathan Smith. With 12 episodes opposed to 10 in Season 1, the narrative will have more room to grow. One of the most significant alterations is the inclusion of additional automotive stunt scenarios.
There were only three or four major vehicle accidents in the first season, but there will be roughly twice as many in Season 2, with seven or eight high-stakes, action-packed scenes planned. Fans of the original game series, which was known for its chaotic, explosive vehicle action, will be pleased to learn this.
The plot of Season 2 will pick up right where Season 1 left off. After completing his delivery task successfully, Anthony Mackie's character John Doe discovered it was a test. He will now have to participate in Calypso's tournament, a perilous competition in which drivers engage in combat while driving armed vehicles. The award? A desire fulfilled, no matter how ridiculous.
Several new characters from the video game franchise will appear in Season 2. Dollface, Mr. Grimm, Axel, and Vermin—all beloved characters—will appear in the series. With their own backstories, vehicles, and motivations, these extra participants will heighten the show's drama and excitement.
Returning characters will continue to grow. Quiet (played by Stephanie Beatriz), who left John at the end of Season 1, will play a more rebellious role. She will be shown struggling against the harsh institutions that keep outsiders impoverished and dangerous. Meanwhile, Sweet Tooth, the unpredictable clown will enter the competition in his famous ice cream truck, causing even more trouble.
Additionally, the season will go deeper into John Doe's history, with signs pointing to a possible connection to Marcus Kane, a pivotal character in the original games. His character will gain complexity via flashbacks, fresh discoveries, and familial ties.
