Peacock has announced many of the cast members for the Twisted Metal series from Will Arnett to Stephanie Beatriz, but not much of what the show will look like. While it still doesn’t have a trailer, the company revealed the first poster for the upcoming series based on the video game franchise.
The poster has Anthony Mackie’s character, John Doe, blasting bullets in his vehicle, while Sweet Tooth’s iconic ice cream truck looms in the background. IGN also had the bigger version of the poster, but it only shows more of the car and the sky above. Peacock also noted that a trailer was dropping on April 28.
The show is based on a concept from Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who will executive produce. It will be written by Cobra Kai scribe Michael Jonathan Smith, who will also serve as an EP. Other executive producers include PlayStation Studios’ Hermen Hulst, Qizilbash and Carter Swan of PlayStation Productions, Inspire Entertainment’s Jason Spire, Electric Avenue’s Will Arnett and Marc Forman, and Peter Principato of Artists First. Bad Trip‘s Kitao Sakurai is also set to executive produce and direct a few episodes. Stephanie Beatriz, Thomas Haden Church, Neve Campbell, Will Arnett, and Samoa Joe have been cast so far.
Sony is also allegedly creating another Twisted Metal game and it is likely being positioned to come out around the same time as the Peacock series. After reportedly changing developers, the game is said to be coming from Firesprite, a studio Sony acquired in September 2021. However, this game has yet to be formally revealed.
