Anthony Mackie competes in an explosive demolition derby in the second season trailer for Twisted Metal, the Peacock action comedy series based on the PlayStation video game.

The joy ride is over. The tournament is here. Ill need to end every last driver that gets in my way. No pressure, or anything, Mackie as delivery driver John Doe declares with a shrug at one point in the trailer.

In the first season, Doe as a driver had to pick up and deliver a package to New San Francisco in a post-apocalyptic America, only for chaos to ensue on his trip. During the second season, a mysterious man known as Calypso, played by Anthony Carrigan, in the trailer invites rival drivers to compete alongside Doe and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) in a sinister demolition derby. Michael Jonathan Smith, writer, showrunner and executive producer on Twisted Metal, sets the scene in a statement from the producers: The stakes couldnt be higher as John Doe and Quiet risk their lives to compete in a dangerous demolition derby tournament. The prize? A single wish, their greatest hearts desire, granted. The only problem is sixteen other drivers have wishes of their own.

Will Arnett and Joe Seanoa also star in the second season of Twisted Metal, which is set for a summer 2025 debut on Peacock. The cast of recurring guest stars includes Saylor Bell Curda, Lisa Gilroy, Richard de Klerk, Patty Guggenheim, Tiana Okoye and Michael James Shaw.

The executive producers for the Peacock comedy are Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Mackie, Arnett, Marc Forman, Jason Spire, Grant Dekernion, Peter Principato, Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan and Hermen Hulst.

Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions and Universal Television are producing.
