Twisted Metal Season 2 OTT release date in India: When and where to stream Anthony Mackie's action comedy series
Post apocalyptic plot and returning cast
Twisted Metal takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and stars Anthony Mackie as John Doe, Stephanie Beatriz, Joe Seanoa, Will Arnett, and Thomas Haden Church. Season 1's mission was to transport a strange parcel across a perilous and barren United States; this season follows John, an amnesiac milkman who talks rapidly. While his trek hinted at a larger plot and offered a chance for a better life, it also put him in the path of roaming adversaries and weaponised vehicles.
With its blend of outrageous action, dark humour, and dedication to the game's essence, the series quickly gained a passionate fan base once its first season began on Peacock in the US on July 27, 2023. The second season, which was renewed for a third season in December 2023, will air in the US on Peacock on July 31, 2025. Sony LIV subscribers in India can catch up with the show at the same time, on August 1, to see it online.
Twisted Metal tournament begins
John and Quiet survived their dangerous assignment and now find themselves unwilling players in the notorious Twisted Metal tournament. Season 2 will begin right after the events of the first season finale. Calypso, an enigmatic person, is orchestrating the brutal demolition derby, which will feature both new and old enemies, including the return of Sweet Tooth, the murderous clown.
The new season takes a surprising turn when John reunites with his long-lost sister, Dollface, who is now a vigilante wearing a mask. Their tense dynamic and competing agendas will most certainly dictate the direction of the new plot.
Growing library of PlayStation adaptations
Along with PlayStation Productions and Sony Pictures Television, Twisted Metal adds to the growing library of PlayStation IPs that have been adapted for streaming. With stylised action, unexpected comedy, and character-driven arcs, the second season promises to up the ante.
On August 1, 2025, Sony LIV (OTTplay Premium) will begin streaming the ten-episode second season in India.

It's official: My Best Friend's Wedding is getting a sequel! Is Julia Roberts on board?
We love a pair of life-long best friends realising it was them they were looking for all along. It's confirmed! My Best Friend's Wedding is getting a part 2 this sequel season(Photo: IMDb) It's a trope as old as time, but still, never fails to sweep the audience right off their feet, every time — if done tastefully of course. PJ Hogan though, managed to seamlessly do that and then some more, giving us 1997 release and all-time classic, My Best Friend's Wedding. Julia Roberts stars as Julianne Porter and Cameron Diaz as Kimberly Wallace. The bone of contention? Dermot Mulroney's Michael O'Neal's lifelong affections. Julianne and Michael are life-long friends with the all-too-common pact of marrying each other if they both don't find anyone by the time they're 28. So when Michael picks up the phone, a stone's throw window away from Julianne turning 28, just to tell her he's found his one and will be marrying her, in 4 days. The rest of the film is a very exciting yet comforting rollercoaster of feelings being sorted and love being realised, in a very comforting way of course. The most surprising thing about My Best Friend's Wedding is the fact that the 'other woman', who is not really in fact the other woman, doesn't lose the man. The ending's real, nobody gets wronged and nostalgia doesn't ruin something truly real. And this lovely vibe is coming back round, thank the heavens! As per multiple reports, Sony has hired Past Lives and Materialists director Celine Song to come up with the story. No other details are known about the production so far, the most pressing questions then being — will the primary cast be returning? Will it be a then-and-now plot or entirely new characters? What's the vibe?! Well while we wait for this one, there is quite literally a whole retinue of sequels making their way to us. The Devil Wears Prada 2 for instance, may be hogging all the limelight on socials, but Gurinder Chadha confirming the Bend It Like Beckham sequel is also commanding considerable clout. Which of these sequels are you most excited for?

House Mates actor Darshan talks about his next with Darshana Rajendran: I cried a lot during the climax
Tamil actor Darshan, who was seen in films like Thunivu, Kanaa and more, will be featuring in the lead role in the upcoming film House Mates. With the film set to release in theatres on August 1, Darshan's next will be with director Thamizh who helmed the critically acclaimed Tamil film Seththumaan. Here are more details on the project, as Darshan talks about the film. Darshan and Darshana Rajendran with the crew of Thamizh's film Darshan and Darshana Rajendran's film to release year end In a conversation with OTTplay, actor Darshan spoke about his upcoming movie with actor Darshana Rajendran who has appeared in films like Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey, Paradise and Hridayam. The yet-to-be-titled Tamil film is directed by Seththumaan-fame filmmaker Thamizh, from a story penned by writer Perumal Murugan. About his film, Darshan says, 'It is based on Perumal Murugan's novel Pookuzhi. He is the dialogue writer of the film, while Witness director Deepak is the cinematographer. The film is ready to be released, and we are planning to bring it out after House Mates. Probably by the end of this year." Further speaking about the film, Darshan said it will be a hard-hitting film. 'When I heard the story, I was totally taken aback. There are only minimum shots but each of them is very long. We shot in sync-sound method and since there are many single-shots, even if one mistake happens, we need to do it all over again. The working style was very new but there was much learning. I cried a lot during the climax and last day of shoot,' he added. Pookuzhi is a love story, which entwines the caste-oppression and hatred prevalent in Indian society. It revolves around a couple and the wrath of the society they face due to their inter-caste marriage. Meanwhile, you can stream Thamizh and Perumal Murugan's film Seththumaan which is yet another hard-hitting film based on food politics and how the caste system affects it. It is based on Perumal Murugan's story Varugari and revolves around an old man and his grandson, with the former hired by local villagers to cook pork for them. The film is available for streaming on SonyLIV via OTTplay Premium.
