‘Twisted Metal’ Season 2 Trailer Revs Engines for New Violent Tournament
Rev your engines. Peacock has debuted the official trailer “Twisted Metal” Season 2, introducing the contestants for this season’s ultra-violent tournament.
The high-octane action-comedy series based on the video game series returns to Peacock with three episodes on July 31, followed by new episodes every Thursday through August 28.
In the new season, “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.”
Anthony Mackie (“John Doe”), Stephanie Beatriz (“Quiet”), and Joe Seanoa (“Sweet Tooth”) are all back for Season 2, with Will Arnett returning as the voice of “Sweet Tooth.”
Emmy and SAG Award-nominated actor Anthony Carrigan (Barry, Superman) will play Calypso, with Richard de Klerk (A Teenage Prophet), Patty Guggenheim (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law), and Tiana Okoye (Panhandle) also joining Season 2 as recurring guest stars.
Meet Calypso and some of the newcomers in the new trailer below. Also look for fan-favorite character Sweet Tooth to bring the mayhem.
Showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith (Cobra Kai) said in a statement, “The stakes couldn’t be higher as John and Quiet risk their lives to compete in the 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. In a fast-paced, hysterical, thrilling season with unforgettable characters, it’s too bad not all of them will survive.”
“Twisted Metal“ is a half-hour live-action TV series based on the classic PlayStation game series, a high-octane action comedy based on an original take by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick (Deadpool, Zombieland) and written by Michael Jonathan Smith (Cobra Kai).
You can catch up on season one now on Peacock.

A lonely Carrie White seeks friendship and answers in the first teaser for Carrie, a brand new adaptation of Stephen King’s classic story from horror master Mike Flanagan.
Along with the new teaser comes the announcement that the eight-episode limited series premieres on Prime Video on October 7.
The series follows misfit high‑schooler Carrie White (Summer H. Howell), who has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.
Carrie is written and executive produced by showrunner Mike Flanagan (Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House) with Flanagan also directing four episodes.
Stephen King also serves as executive producer.
Also starring in the series are Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Joel Oulette as Tommy Ross, Josie Tota as Tina, Arthur Conti as Billy, Thalia Dudek as Emaline, Amber Midthunder as Miss Desjardin, and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle.
Each of the show’s episodes will apparently open with the introduction of “a different, unique story of a different woman, somewhere else in the world and in time, coming to terms with their own abilities.” Flanagan teased, “Carrie’s specific place among that group of women is part of the real joy that we get to discover over the course of the season.”
Expect Flanagan to expand King’s story in unexpected ways, using a modern lens.
