Last night, during The Game Awards, it was announced that Peacock was moving forward with a sophomore season of their wacky Mad Max-style racing series, Twisted Metal. The series followed milkman John (Anthony Mackie) and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) as they transported a package across the post-apocalyptic roads of the United States. Showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith said in a statement:
“I have to give a Sweet Tooth-sized thank you to our incredible fans — I read every comment and was so blown away by everyone’s love, support and rabid enthusiasm for a paper bag. We are beyond thankful we get to continue the story of John Doe, Quiet and Sweet Tooth as they face off against familiar faces and new grim foes in the long-awaited Twisted Metal tournament. The mixtape is made, and I’m thrilled to get back on the road with our stellar cast and crew.”
Deadpool and Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are expected to return to help write the next season alongside Smith.
