It’s going to be a hot vehicular combat summer: Peacock has announced that the second of Twisted Metal will start streaming later this year.
The show, which is an adaptation of a classic and long-dormant PlayStation series, premiered in the summer of 2023 and was renewed later that year. Season 1 was an origin story of sorts, starring Anthony Mackie as a delivery driver with amnesia, Stephanie Beatriz as his eventual partner, and Joe Seanoa and Will Arnett as the homicidal clown Sweet Tooth. The first season didn’t get into the combat tournament at the heart of the video games, but its finale did tease it — and it looks like season 2 will jump right in.
Here’s the official description:
Following the revelations in the season 1 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.
Peacock hasn’t announced a specific date for when the second season will start streaming, aside from this summer.
