The Peacock series Twisted Metal, which has already taken the internet by storm with only two seasons, brings a fresh layer of intrigue to its storyline with the character of Charlie Kane. At the end of Twisted Metal season 2, we see that the villainous Sweet Tooth is being taken to his father, Charlie Kane.

Now this makes us wonder if we will be seeing more of Charlie Kane in the upcoming seasons of the series. In the game version of Twisted Metal, the relationship between Charlie Kane and Sweet Tooth is quite different. Hence, for the game players, the addition of Charlie Kane in the series is truly an intriguing thing.

Though the gamers are already aware of Charlie Kane, the addition of him in the second season of the series brings forth a completely different dynamic. In the post-credit scene of the second season of the series, we see that Sweet Tooth is still very much alive.

He opens his eyes and rejoices about his sleep. He then understands that he is being dragged by the chains. He stands up and tells the taxi driver to release him before he wreaks havoc on the car. However, instead of getting scared by Sweet Tooth’s words, the driver tells Sweet Tooth some interesting news. He tells him that he has strict orders to bring him in chains.

When Sweet Tooth asks to know the identity of the person who gave the orders, the taxi driver smiles in a sinister manner and tells him that the orders are straight from Sweet Tooth’s father, Charlie Kane.

He adds that Charlie Kane is impressed by the actions of his son. This makes Sweet Tooth eager to visit his father, and he runs along with the taxi. It can be understood that Charlie Kane is also involved in some shady tasks, just like his son. The series just gives a subtle hint of his existence, and much of it is left under a shroud of mystery.

The series takes the decision to make Charlie Kane Sweet Tooth’s father, instead of how it is in the video game. There is also a sinister aspect to the whole post-credit scene, which is a clear indication that Charlie Kane is definitely going to cause some trouble in the upcoming season of the series.

The reunion of Charlie Kane with his son will definitely be a remarkable aspect of the plot. Though the series remains faithful to the game in most respects, the change in the father-son dynamic of Charlie Kane and Sweet Tooth definitely introduces new twists and turns.

There is no official confirmation about whether Twisted Metal is getting renewed or not. However, the ending leaves us with many questions about the storyline. To unfold and divulge the plotlines, the series definitely needs to get renewed. The series has also received a positive response from the viewers worldwide.

Anthony Mackie’s performance, along with the other cast members', has been praised. We might not have any official information about the details of a third season, but creator Michael Jonathan Smith has dropped many hints regarding the upcoming seasons. Hence, the anticipation is at an all-time high for us fans.

The post-credit scene of Twisted Metal Season 2 has now completely flipped the dynamic. The creators are not shy about creating a new narrative and taking risks. This is undoubtedly an indication of the show pushing boundaries to surprise us viewers.
