Based on the classic PlayStation game series, TWISTED METAL is a high-octane action comedy based on an original take by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick (Deadpool, Zombieland) and written by Michael Jonathan Smith (Cobra Kai), about a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
The ten-episode series stars Anthony Mackie (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), Stephanie Beatriz (Encanto, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Thomas Haden Church (Sideways, Divorce, Spider-Man: No Way Home), with Will Arnett (Lego Masters, Murderville) and Joe Seanoa (AEW), and all ten episodes premiere exclusively on Peacock on July 27, 2023.
