We knew Twisted Metal season two was coming this summer, and we even got a trailer back in February. But now we know exactly when the Anthony Mackie-starring video game adaptation is arriving: the demolition derby chaos returns to Peacock July 31.
With the news came this teaser. It’s short, but as Quiet herself says, “you gotta admire the showmanship.”
Mackie’s co-stars include Stephanie Beatriz, Joe Seanoa, Will Arnett, and Anthony Carrigan. In a statement released earlier, writer-showrunner-executive producer Michael Jonathan Smith described season two as follows:
“The stakes couldn’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 16 other drivers have wishes of their own. Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz lead a stellar cast, including Will Arnett and 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. It’s too bad not all of them will survive.”
Peacock also shared a bunch of first-look photos to go with the date reveal, which you can check out below:
The official synopsis: “Following the revelations in the season one 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.”
Twisted Metal season two arrives July 31 on Peacock; you can stream season one now.
