Twisted Metal Season 2: Co-Creator Unveils Thrilling New Details!

Well, well, well, if it isn't the delightful chaos of Twisted Metal Season 2! The cameras have officially stopped rolling, and series co-creator Michael Jonathan Smith has graced us with an update on Instagram that’s equal parts thrilling and tantalizing. It appears that the wild ride of filming has finally reached its conclusion, much to the relief of cast and crew who, let’s be honest, are probably ready for a nap—and perhaps a cupcake.

Just a few short months ago, we were fortunate enough to hear from the leading man himself, Anthony Mackie, who cheerfully announced that production was a-go. Now, as if to add a cherry on top of this already delightful sundae, Smith has shared some behind-the-scenes snapshots that double as a love letter to the madness they've created. One photo features the director's chair proudly displaying the Season 2 logo, while another lovingly captures the infamous Sweet Tooth. And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: a candid of Smith’s astonished reaction to the final shot—because what’s a finale without a little bit of shock and awe?

In his Instagram post, Smith graciously offered a glimpse behind the curtain with a caption that you might find difficult to resist: “Enjoy these non-spoiler pictures, including me watching our final shot of the season. We went out with a bang!” And if a bang is what they went out with, I can only imagine the fireworks—though I hope they remembered the safety protocols.

But wait, there’s more! Smith tantalizingly hints that this season is not just bigger; it’s practically bursting at the seams with excitement. He took a moment to shower the talented cast and crew with gratitude, saying, “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.” Because who doesn’t want the pressure of outdoing themselves, right?

Returning to grace our screens is none other than Mackie as the enigmatic John Doe, taking responsibility for more chaos. Alongside him, we’ll see familiar faces like Stephanie Beatriz as the mysteriously silent Quiet, and the ever-so-slightly terrifying Neve Campbell as Raven. Let’s not forget the one and only Joe Seanoa—better known as Samoa Joe—donning the quirky clown makeup of Sweet Tooth, with the ever-charming Will Arnett lending his voice to make the character even more delightfully deranged!

Now, if you’re itching for car combat and explosive antics reminiscent of the original video game, you might want to grab some popcorn. This season promises to finally deliver what fans have been salivating over for ages—the car combat tournament that made the franchise famous. Who wouldn’t want to see that?

As for when we can indulge in all this insanity? Well, the release date for Season 2 remains shrouded in mystery. Until then, you can satisfy your cravings by streaming Season 1 on Peacock. After all, a little chaos is the perfect appetizer before the main course.
