The new season of the post-apocalyptic action comedy, which is based on the PlayStation video game series, is on track for a Summer 2025 release, TVLine has learned.
Following the events of the Season 1 finale that dropped in July 2023, John Doe and Quiet (Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s Stephanie Beatriz) enter the Twisted Metal tournament, “a sinister demolition derby hosted by a mysterious man known as Calypso (Barry‘s Anthony Carrigan),” reads the official logline.
“As they try to survive an onslaught of dangerous new foes and familiar faces alike, including the murderous clown Sweet Tooth (voiced by Will Arnett/embodied by Joe Seanoa aka Samoa Joe), things get complicated for John when he reunites with his long-lost sister, the vigilante Dollface.”
Showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith says that the stakes are higher than ever for the main characters, who must risk their lives for the ultimate prize: a single wish to fulfill their deepest desire.
“The only problem is 16 other drivers have wishes of their own,” Smith previews. “This season is packed with fast-paced action, hysterical moments, and thrilling twists, all anchored by unforgettable characters. Unfortunately, not everyone will make it out alive.”
In addition to the returning main cast, Twisted Metal Season 2 will feature recurring guest stars Saylor Bell Curda (Walker), Lisa Gilroy (Interior Chinatown), Richard de Klerk (Reign), Patty Guggenheim (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law), Tiana Okoye (Panhandle) and Michael James Shaw (The Walking Dead).
Mackie will also serve as executive producer alongside Smith, Arnett, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Marc Forman, and Jason Spire. Phil Sgriccia, Bill Benz, Iain MacDonald and Bertie Ellwood direct episodes of Twisted Metal Season 2.
