‘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.

“American Horror Story” lucky season 13 will be an all-star reunion in more ways than one. Ryan Murphy teased an Avengers-level new season that sees returning players take on multiple roles.
The return of Jessica Lange and first images had many speculating that the 13th season of FX’s anthology series would pick up from “Coven.” It turns out that’s only partially accurate.
Murphy revealed to Entertainment Tonight that the new season is a sequel to “all seasons combined.”
Murphy continued, “So Sarah Paulson is playing six or seven roles. Jessica Lange is playing all four of her iconic characters. Evan Peters is playing five characters, and of course Kathy Bates and Emma Roberts and Billie Lourd. It’s like the Avengers! They all come together to defeat the ultimate evil.”
To be fair, that is hinted at in the film’s official synopsis: “An unrivaled 13th installment that will do justice to everyone’s most feared number. Bringing together an all-star cast, many of whom are reprising fan-favorite roles, American Horror Story: 13 continues to build on the anthology’s decades-long legacy that has been streamed more than 700 million hours across the globe and spawned a legion of dedicated fans.”
“American HorrorStory has redefined the genre with various installments featuring a creepy murder house, a coven of witches, a traveling freak show, a haunted hotel and the apocalypse itself. Which iconic horrors will return to haunt the hallowed halls of 13 and what new terrors await? Light your candles, draw your pentagrams and prepare for a supreme surprise.”
The detail that this all-star cast would take on every iteration they’ve played throughout twelve seasons, though, is new.
Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, John Carroll Lynch, and Mat Fraser also star.
Newcomers this season include Mena Suvari (American Beauty), Berto Colon (“The Night Agent”), and cult filmmaker John Waters.
