Twisted Metal showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith offers a detailed season 2 update about its characters and story teases. The ten-episode first installment, which was developed by Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick alongside Smith, debuted on Peacock in July 2022. The series stars Anthony Mackie as John Doe, a generally upbeat delivery man living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, suffering from amnesia. The show, which also stars Stephanie Beatriz, Thomas Haden Church, Neve Campbell, wrestler Samoa Joe (Joe Seanoa), and the voice of Will Arnett as Sweet Tooth, ended on a cliffhanger that looks to set up the deadly tournament seen in the video games.
