By Aman Shukla Published on June 7, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated June 7, 2025, 12:20 IST Twisted Metal Season 2 is gearing up to deliver more high-octane action, dark humor, and post-apocalyptic chaos. Based on the iconic PlayStation video game series, the Peacock original show became a breakout hit in 2023, earning praise for its wild energy and memorable characters. With Season 2 set to premiere soon, here's everything you need to know about the upcoming season. Twisted Metal Season 2 Release Date Twisted Metal Season 2 will premiere on July 31, 2025, exclusively on Peacock, with all 12 episodes dropping simultaneously, an increase from Season 1's 10 episodes. Cast Updates for Twisted Metal Season 2 The core cast returns, joined by exciting new faces, bringing both familiar and fresh characters to the wasteland: Anthony Mackie as John Doe: The amnesiac milkman and skilled driver, now facing the Twisted Metal tournament and a reunion with his sister. Mackie also serves as an executive producer. Stephanie Beatriz as Quiet: John's tough, foul-mouthed ally, navigating trust issues and deadly challenges in the tournament. Joe Seanoa (Samoa Joe) and Will Arnett : The duo returns as the physical and voice actors for Sweet Tooth, the psychotic clown who survived Season 1's explosive finale and remains a fan favorite. Neve Campbell as Raven: The leader of New San Francisco, likely to return with her manipulative agenda. Thomas Haden Church as Agent Stone: The rigid lawman who survived Season 1's cliffhanger, expected to stir trouble in the tournament. Anthony Carrigan as Calypso: A major addition, Carrigan plays the mysterious, showman-like host of the Twisted Metal tournament, a pivotal figure from the games with a flair for drama. Tiana Okoye as Dollface: Introduced in Season 1's finale as John Doe's long-lost sister, she leads a brutal gang and will have a significant role. Richard de Klerk as Mr. Grimm: A fan-favorite character from the games, portrayed as a Grim Reaper-inspired figure with a mysterious edge. Patty Guggenheim, Saylor Bell Curda, Michael James Shaw, and Lisa Gilroy: These actors join in recurring roles, though their characters remain undisclosed, adding intrigue to the expanded cast. What to Expect from Twisted Metal Season 2 Season 1 set the stage by introducing the post-apocalyptic world and its colorful characters, ending on a cliffhanger that teased the infamous Twisted Metal tournament. Season 2 dives headfirst into this car combat extravaganza, hosted by the enigmatic Calypso, who promises the winner their heart's desire. Expect intense vehicular battles, high-stakes races, and explosive set pieces as 16 drivers compete in a deadly demolition derby. Showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith likened it to a 'tournament season,' with every character's motives tied to the competition, drawing parallels to Cobra Kai 's tournament arcs.

Chris Meloni Reveals Which Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 5 Scene He Had to Cut Mariska Hargitay Out Of (And Why) — Watch
Law & Order: Organized Crime When originally conceived, the second episode of Law & Order: Organized Crime's new season had a bit more Capt. Olivia Benson than did the one you watched Thursday on Peacock. More from TVLine Law & Order: Organized Crime Premiere: Stabler and Benson Reunite Under Dire Circumstances as Season 5 Begins - Read Eps 1 and 2 Recap Clueless Sequel Series Starring Alicia Silverstone in the Works at Peacock Twisted Metal Season 2 Sets July Release Date - See Photos of Dollface, Calypso, Mr. Grimm and Others! The hour, written by series star and executive producer Chris Meloni, featured a reunion with his former Law & Order: SVU co-star Mariska Hargitay. Hargitay's Benson showed up after Meloni's Det. Elliot Stabler was in a brutal accident while investigating a sex-trafficking ring. She later wound up working with the Organized Crime Control Bureau to investigate a serial killer who seemed to be preying on sex workers along a busy trucking route. (Read a full recap here.) When Meloni stopped by our New York City offices for a TVLine Spotlight conversation in front of fans Wednesday, he revealed that Benson had more scenes in an earlier draft of the episode. 'This is how this went down,' he explains in the video above. 'They said, 'Hey, they want Mariska on your show for an episode.' Great. So I go, 'I want to write it, because I feel as though I'll do a great job.' 'OK, great. You got it.'' After Meloni penned the script, he says, production figured out exactly how long it would take to get Hargitay's scenes in the can. 'They break it down and they go, 'We'll need her for five days,'' he recalls. 'SVU comes back to us and says, 'You got three.'' Meloni mimes crossing out big swaths of story. 'So I go back to the drawing board, going, 'She's out of that!'' he says, laughing. Where, exactly, would we have seen more Benson? Near the end of the episode, when Stabler and Det. Slootmaekers are undercover as they search for a rapist the swap meet, 'it was going to be me and Benson on the hunt,' Meloni says. He added that it's unclear when Hargitay will next show up on Organized Crime. 'It's just, you know, girlfriend has a day job,' Meloni jokes.
