"In fact, what makes a series great is often how much it differs from its source material. That's certainly the case with Twisted Metal, the Peacock series that takes the classic demolition derby game and turns it into a gritty but hilarious post-apocalyptic world where delivery driver John Doe (Anthony Mackie) traverses dangerous roads with his sidekick Quiet ( Stephanie Beatriz)."
"Even though there's a new creative at the helm, it's easy to speculate about the plot of this upcoming season. The last time we saw John, Quiet, and their new ward, Mayhem (Saylor Bell Curda), they were hiding out from the devious Calypso (Anthony Carrigan) after surviving his tournament, only to realize he's sent the entire world to hunt them down."
Twisted Metal adapts the demolition derby game into a gritty yet comedic post-apocalyptic road series centered on delivery driver John Doe and his sidekick Quiet. Peacock renewed the series for a third season and replaced co-creator and showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith with David Reed, known for The Boys. Season 2 concluded with Calypso turning the entire world against John and Quiet after their tournament victory, forcing them to hide with their ward Mayhem while being hunted. Season 3 will likely escalate the conflict into a global battleground, expanding the show's scale and tone under new leadership.
