Peacock's live-action adaptation of the post-apocalyptic video game franchise Twisted Metal is revving up for an even wilder ride in its second season. After setting streaming records and wowing audiences to demand the renewal of a second season, showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith has now asserted that he's turbocharging the entire show.
Season 1 introduced us to Anthony Mackie's John Doe, a wisecracking delivery man with amnesia in a post-apocalyptic United States. Tasked with transporting mysterious packages across vast, desolate highways, John Doe has to contend with brutal marauders, cannibals, and savages that depict how far civilization has fallen.
The second season will not be any different. According to a recent interview with NBC Insider, Smith, who cut his teeth on Cobra Kai, teased that Twisted Metal will return with a mix of nostalgia, mayhem, and character-driven drama.
Following the season finale cliffhanger that saw Raven hold John Doe hostage in a bid to have him represent her in the tournament, Smith has revealed that the tournament will now take center stage in Season 2.
