Twisted Metal Season 2 premieres this July

One of the biggest surprise hits from the recent rise in adaptations of video games into film/TV was Peacock’s Twisted Metal. Released back in 2023, a second season was officially announced during last year’s Game Awards. Now, we’ve gotten our first look at the second series – alongside the announcement of its July release date.

Releasing the ‘Date Announcement’ teaser trailer to YouTube, Peacock confirmed that Season 2 of Twisted Metal is officially coming in time for the peak of Summer; set to premiere on the 31st of July.

For the uninitiated, the first season of Peacock’s Twisted metal was a surprise success, achieving an audience Rotten Tomatoes score of 93% following its release back in July of 2023 – setting records for the streaming service despite a less-than-promising marketing reveal.

Given the fact that the show has already proven itself, it will be interesting to see how much attention the second season gets. Its synopsis reads as follows:

“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.”
