The series adapts the classic PlayStation racing series of the same name. Alongside the new action-packed teaser, which reveals several new cast members, including Superman: Legacyโ€™s Anthony Carrigan as Calypso, a poster with the seriesโ€™ iconic character, Sweet Tooth (Will Arnett/Samoa Joe), was released. Even more so, Twisted Metal Season Two has now been confirmed to hit the road in Summer 2025.

Speaking on behalf of the production, showrunner and executive producer Michael Jonathan Smith (Cobra Kai), said โ€œThe stakes couldnโ€™t be higher as John Doe (Anthony Mackie) and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) risk their lives to compete in a dangerous demolition derby tournament. The prize? A single wish, their greatest hearts 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. Itโ€™s too bad not all of them will survive.โ€

The new poster for season two of Twisted Metal, which will debut this Summer.

The series, which debuted in 2023, received decent reviews upon its 10-episode launch. Many enjoyed the comedy and action, which added upon the world of Twisted Metal. While it didnโ€™t directly adapt the games, the upcoming season does seem to be more akin to them, with over-the-top races and many, many explosions. It quickly became one of Peacockโ€™s most-binged series, leading to its season two renewal. Fortunately, it looks like the wait may have been worth it, if the trailer is anything to go by.
