Twisted Metal Season 2 Plot
Peacock
The new season of Twisted Metal will pick up right where the last season left off. But this time, fans of the original games will be seeing even more characters and vehicles that they remember. Here's what we got from the official press release from Peacock:
"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."
In addition to that, showrunner Michael Johnathan Smith added these details:
"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 heart's desire, granted. The only problem is sixteen other drivers have wishes of their own. Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz lead a stellar cast, including Will Arnett & 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."
Basically, if you slept on Season 1, now is the time to catch up. Season 2 of Twisted Metal is clearly poised to make all our early 2000s dreams of vehicular mayhem come true.
