What Mackie’s BTS Post Means For Twisted Metal Season 2
When The Peacock Show Will Return
As of writing,Twisted Metalseason 2 doesn’t have an official release date. With filming now complete,the show is essentially guaranteed to return at some point in 2025. The post-producton work required, including editing and visual effects, means that the show wouldn’t be able to return this year. The filming wrap does mean, however, that the first promotional images and trailer for season 2 could very well be released before 2024 concludes.
Mackie’s post doesn’t reveal too much about the story in the upcoming episodes, but theTwisted Metalseason 1 endingsuggests thata Twisted Metal tournament is imminent. Doe also seems likely to uncover more about his past in the new episodes. As for who will be joining Mackie in season 2, a number ofTwisted Metalcastmembers from season 1 are likely to return, including Stephanie Beatriz as Quiet, Anthony Carrigan as Calypso, Samoa Joe as Sweet Tooth, Will Arnett as Sweet Tooth’s voice performer, Thomas Haden Church as Agent Stone, and Mike Mitchell as Stu, among others.
Three new castings have been announced for season 2, including Saylor Bell Curda, Michael James Shaw, and Lisa Gilroy.
Our Take On Mackie’s Twisted Metal Season 2 Post
Mackie Was A Highlight Of Season 1
Mackie’s post doesn’t include any indication thatTwisted Metalseason 2 will be the final season. All 10 episodes of season 1 premiered in July 2023 and the renewal announcement didn’t arrive until December, with Peacock evidently gathering months' worth of viewership data before making that decision. Though season 2 doesn’t yet have a release date,it’s likely that audiences will have to wait until several months after the premiere to know whetherTwisted Metalseason 3 is happening.
The Peacock show’s debut outing was fun, though somewhat flawed, and it will be interesting to see where the story goes in season 2.Mackie himself and his portrayal of Doe is one of the show’s biggest charms, and his evolution after the events of season 1 could make for an exciting change of pace. Many questions remain aboutTwisted Metalseason 2, but the show is evidently one step closer to returning.
