The Excellent Team Behind ‘Twisted Metal’ Makes It Work
Based on Sony’s prominent game franchise,Twisted Metalwas developed as a series byRhett Reese,Paul Wernick,and Smith. The first season premiered with all ten episodes on Peacock on July 10, 2025, after being filmed in New Orleans from May to August 2022. Season 2 ofTwisted Metalwas then announced in December 2023, with filming set for Toronto. Starring in this cherished post-apocalyptic series are Marvel’sAnthony Mackie,Stephanie Beatriz,Joe Seanoa,Will ArnettandThomas Haden Churchin main roles.
As fans would agree, thanks to the solid cast ofTwisted Metal, the series remains an enjoyable watch even with its faults. Similarly,Collider’s reviewreads:
“Twisted Metal is a series that takes a while to get going, and at times struggles with its tone that deviates from the games, but Smith and his team have made a show that is campy, cheesy fun. By the end of Twisted Metal’s ten episodes, it’s hard to not want more and to be fairly impressed with what the series has set up for its potential future, complete with a cast that begs to be revisited. The shift to comedy also mostly works, thanks to a great writing staff that includes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick of Zombieland and Deadpool fame, and a team of characters that embrace the weird world they’ve been thrown into. Twisted Metal might be a scrappy little mess at times, but it mostly works when it hits the gas.”
Twisted MetalSeason 2 has no release date yet. Season 1 is streaming on Peacock.
