Anticipation Builds for Season 2 of *Twisted Metal*
Fans of the chaotic and adrenaline-fueled universe of *Twisted Metal* can rejoice, as the recently unveiled teaser trailer for Season 2 promises a thrilling ride when it debuts in Summer 2025. The action-packed series on Peacock is set to dive back into the fray, featuring John Doe and his allies facing off against an array of deadly competitors in their quest for survival.
Following the success of *Captain America: Brave New World*, Anthony Mackie returns to lead the cast alongside Stephanie Beatriz, Joe Seanoa, Will Arnett, and Thomas Haden Church. The new season introduces a formidable antagonist: Calypso, played by the talented Anthony Carrigan, widely recognized for his role as NoHo Hank in the acclaimed HBO series *Barry* according to reports.
For a sneak peek of what’s to come, viewers can check out the newly released teaser.
Calypso’s first appearance is striking, showcasing Carrigan with a long black wig that transforms him into a near-unrecognizable version of the character from the game. For those unfamiliar with the *Twisted Metal* franchise, Calypso is central to the series’ premise, serving as the orchestrator of the titular tournament that unfolds annually on Christmas Eve. The tournament, an invite-only event, demands competitors destroy one another with the aim of being the last one standing. The victor is rewarded with a wish granted by Calypso, making him both a beloved and feared figure among fans.
This year’s competition promises even greater stakes, as John Doe (Mackie) and Quiet (Beatriz) put their lives on the line in a perilous demolition derby. Each participant holds their own longing, hoping to fulfill their greatest desire, but they must contend with fierce rivals, all equally determined to claim their dreams. The cast, featuring popular characters like Sweet Tooth, brings together a unique blend of humor and heart-pounding action.
*Twisted Metal* follows John Doe, a chatty milkman with a mysterious package to deliver. His journey through a stark and perilous America is not just about survival but also about securing a better future for himself and those he cares about. The production has just wrapped up filming in Canada, with Mackie remarking on the explosive stunts, indicating that fans can expect plenty of high-octane moments ahead.
