The highly anticipated Anthony Mackie-led live-action Twisted Metal adaptation has finally found a streaming platform.
Less than two months after Sony declared the return of Twisted Metal at CES 2022, it appears that audiences are finally going to get a chance to see the TV show based on the series. The upcoming Twisted Metal series will mark the first Sony media product to find its way on Peacock. The show will be headed and written by Michael Jonathan Smith, whose previous works include another series based on another cult-classic franchise, Cobra Kai.
Peacock describes Twisted Metal as a "high-octane action comedy, based on an original take," which is interesting, to say the least. As much as we'd like to think that Twisted Metal was hilarious because it had a clown for what's effectively the series' main character, the vehicular combat title was more mature and dark than comedic. Of course, it remains to be seen how Twisted Metal will reshape its source material. At the very least, the show deserves the benefit of the doubt as Mackie is also on board as not just the lead but also one of its producers.
