‘Twisted Metal’ Season 2 Wraps Up Filming, Reveals New Images
Join us on Reddit for the latest Marvel & DC news!
“An enjoyable blast of cartoonishly violent mayhem, Twisted Metal sometimes struggles to flesh out its source material, but ultimately offers an adaptation with surprising depth.” This is the summary that Rotten Tomatoes used to describe the first season of Twisted Metal, Peacock’s adaptation of the popular video game series that premiered back in 2023.
We knew that a second season had been green-lit, and we can now officially confirm that filming has officially been completed and that the post-production phase is officially beginning, which means that we are going to see the second relatively soon; a release date has not been confirmed, but we can expect it to be released in 2025.
The information was shared on social media by showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith, who also shared some behind-the-scenes photos to commemorate the end of filming. In this report, we are going to bring you all you need to know about the upcoming season of the series.
The Twisted Metal series is based on the popular vehicular combat video game franchise published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, which is known for its action and for its colorful characters.
This is something that the Peacock series manages to translate to the screen, which is why the series was so well received after its first season.
The series was developed by Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, alongside Smith as showrunner. It stars Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, Joe Seanoa, Will Arnett, and Thomas Haden Church, with notable names such as Neve Campbell or Jason Mantzoukas appearing in recurring or guest roles. The premise of the series is as follows:
TWISTED METAL, a half-hour live-action TV series based on the classic PlayStation game series, is a high-octane action comedy about a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.
The first season consisted of 10 episodes, and we can now confirm that the second season has been filmed, as Smith confirmed on his Instagram profile, where he also released some BTS photos from the filming process:
If you’re unable to open or read the message, the Instagram post features the following description:
That’s a wrap on production of Twisted Metal s2! Enjoy these non-spoiler pictures, including me watching our final shot of the season. We went out with a bang!
This production was unforgettable. Our incredibly talented cast and crew brought the thunder and helped deliver something truly special. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this season even bigger than the first one.
Now… off to post.
And that’s it as far as Twisted Metal Season 2 is concerned. The filming is done, and we can now await an official confirmation of the series’ release date, which will most likely be sometime in 2025. Of course, we are going to keep you up-to-date with all the updates, so be sure to keep following us!
