A little over two years after first details emerged, the Twisted Metal live-action TV series has a US air date, with its premiere now set for 27th July.
This 10 half-hour-long episode adaptation of the primarily PlayStation-exclusive vehicular combat series – which, slightly alarmingly, is now approaching its 30th anniversary – tells the story of a motor-mouthed outsider (played by Anthony Mackie) who’s offered a chance at a better life, as long as he can deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Sony first touted turning Twisted Metal into a television show back in 2019, but it wasn’t until 2021 that the wheels officially got in motion. Since then, US subscription service Peacock has placed an order for the action comedy, while Cobra Kai’s Michael Jonathan Smith has signed up as showrunner and to pen the scripts – which are based on a concept by Zombieland and Deadpool writing duo Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
