by

Summary

  • Season 2 of Twisted Metal teases a deadly tournament hosted by Calypso after surprising revelations.
  • John Doe and Quiet face new foes, familiar faces like Sweet Tooth, and have a run-in his long-lost sister.
  • The stakes are high as the winner gets a wish but must fight off 16 other drivers to fulfill it.

In the first person as a supporter: “I’m excited about the shift in gears for Twisted Metal Season 2 on Peacock! Unlike the first season where Anthony Mackie’s John Doe was on a nationwide battle spree against an array of eccentric adversaries, it seems this time around, the wild ride is coming to an end for everyone involved. Although the geographical expanse might be narrowed down, rest assured there will still be a heap of thrilling action and entertainment!

In the initial installment of the series Twisted Metal, Mackie’s persona served as what’s colloquially known as a Delivery Man. This role essentially entailed completing miscellaneous tasks for various cities and settlements in post-apocalyptic America, following an enormous computer virus that drastically altered everyday life. Over time, the Delivery Man – who lacked personal history and went by John Doe – developed a romantic interest in Quiet (played by Stephanie Beatriz), while also encountering a familiar villain from Twisted Metal lore: Sweet Tooth, the former mental patient who is easily recognized as both Will Arnett and Samoa Joe’s character.

Twisted Metal Season 2 Looks To Up The Ante

On Thursday morning, Peacock unveiled a fresh sneak peek trailer for the upcoming season. This new installment continues from where Season 1 ended, with Doe discovering that the task he believed would lead to a fresh start was actually a trial to gauge his readiness for the Twisted Metal tournament. Judging by the teaser, this competition seems to play a significant role in the new season.

The opening of the video features a voiceover by an actor from “Captain America: Brave New World,” who previews the wild events coming up in “Twisted Metal” Season 2. Additionally, you’ll notice both old and new characters in this season, with some recognizable faces hinted at in brief glimpses. These characters seem to be drawn from the original video game franchise that the Peacock series is adapted from, as suggested by the official synopsis which provides additional insights into the action depicted in the teaser trailer.

After the shocking events in the season finale, John and Quiet step into the treacherous Twisted tournament – a lethal demolition derby orchestrated by an enigmatic figure called Calypso. They must navigate a barrage of deadly new adversaries and familiar faces, such as the homicidal clown Sweet Tooth, but matters become intricate for John when he reconnects with his estranged sibling, the vigilante Dollface.

As a die-hard movie fan, I can’t help but feel my pulse racing when I think about John’s journey. You see, he discovered a sibling he never knew existed, only to realize she was lost way back in the game. The stakes are sky-high for him now, and it’s not hard to understand why.

In this thrilling competition known as Twisted Metal, the victor will be granted one wish – they can ask for anything their heart desires. However, reaching that coveted position won’t be easy; Doe must outmaneuver 16 other drivers to get his hands on the prize.

Exciting news has just dropped: Twisted Metal Season 2 is officially confirmed and set to drop this summer! The official date might be announced any moment now, so keep your eyes peeled for more updates.
