Peacock is roaring towards San Diego Comic-Con 2025 with a trunk full of Twisted Metal mayhem ahead of the show’s second season premiere on Thursday, July 31.
The hit video game adaptation will enjoy a major presence at the annual pop culture gathering taking place July 24-27, with a bumper car activation, sneak peek panel featuring cast and crew, and a special advanced screening of the first two episodes.
In Twisted Metal Season 2, John Doe (Anthony Mackie) and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) find themselves in the middle of the eponymous vehicular tournament hosted by the enigmatic Calypso (Anthony Carrigan). Whomever wins the competition will be granted their heart’s deepest desire, but collecting such a fabulous prize is easier said than done. First, our heroes must survive deadly encounters with the likes of Sweet Tooth (Joe Seanoa and Will Arnett), Mr. Grimm (Richard De Klerk), Dollface (Tiana Okoye), and the tire-handed Axel (Michael James Shaw).
