Following the success of its first season, Twisted Metal is gearing up for another round of post-apocalyptic mayhem. The show, which has gained popularity alongside other video game adaptations like The Last of Us, has been renewed for a second season, and fans are eager to see what’s in store.
Who’s Coming Back?
The core cast is returning for season 2, including Anthony Mackie as John Doe, Stephanie Beatriz as Quiet, and Neve Campbell as Raven. Samoa Joe will also reprise his role as Sweet Tooth, alongside Will Arnett who provides the iconic character’s voice.
New Faces in the Arena
Season 2 is bringing some exciting new faces to the Twisted Metal universe. Anthony Carrigan, known for his role as NoHo Hank in HBO’s Barry, will be playing Calypso, the enigmatic figure behind the Twisted Metal tournament. Richard de Klerk, Patty Guggenheim, and Tiana Okoye have also been cast in undisclosed roles.
One of the big additions is Dollface, who made a brief appearance in the season 1 finale. She’s looking for her brother, John, and is expected to play a significant role in the upcoming season.
The Tournament Begins
The focus of season 2 will be on the car combat tournament, which was hinted at in the first season’s finale. Showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith has confirmed that Mr. Grimm and Axel will be joining the fray, adding even more chaos and excitement to the competition.
Behind the Scenes
Although filming hasn’t officially begun, Samoa Joe’s recent departure from his AEW World Championship position suggests he’s available for filming. While there’s no set date for the start of production, a 2025 premiere seems like the earliest possibility.
Get ready for an explosive season 2 of Twisted Metal. With an expanded cast, the introduction of fan-favorite characters, and the highly anticipated tournament, the show promises to be even more thrilling and unpredictable than its predecessor.
