‘Twisted Metal’ Season 2 Crashes Onto Peacock in the US & Paramount+ in the UK This August

by Dave Elliott

Get ready for more mayhem as Twisted Metal returns for Season 2, bringing even bigger battles, bloodier clashes, and higher stakes as John Doe and Quiet enter the tournament of their lives.

Following the explosive events of Season 1, John Doe (Anthony MackieThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier) and Quiet (Stephanie BeatrizBrooklyn Nine-Nine) are thrust into the deadly Twisted Metal tournament, a sinister demolition derby hosted by the enigmatic Calypso (Anthony CarriganBarry). The prize? A single wish, granting each driver their greatest heart’s desire. But with sixteen ruthless competitors, including returning fan favourite Sweet Tooth (physically portrayed by Joe Seanoa, with the voice of Will ArnettArrested Development), survival is far from guaranteed.

To make things even more complicated, John is forced to confront his past when he reunites with his long-lost sister, Dollface, a vigilante with her own dangerous agenda.

“The stakes couldn’t be higher as John Doe and Quiet risk their lives to compete in a dangerous demolition derby tournament,” said Michael Jonathan Smith (showrunner and executive producer). “The prize? A single wish, their greatest heart’s desire, granted. The only problem is sixteen other drivers have wishes of their own… It’s too bad not all of them will survive.”

The 12-episode season promises carnage on a massive scale, with directors Phil Sgriccia, Bill Benz, Iain MacDonald, and Bertie Ellwood behind the wheel.

The returning cast includes Mike Mitchell (Love), Saylor Bell Curda (High School), Patty Guggenheim (She-Hulk), Tiana Okoye (The Good Place), Richard de Klerk (Strange Empire), Lisa Gilroy (Jury Duty), and Michael James Shaw (The Walking Dead).

Twisted Metal’ Season 2 premieres with three episodes on Thursday, 31st July 2025, on Peacock in the US and Friday, 1st August 2025, on Paramount+ in the UK, followed by new episodes weekly.
