Get ready for a wild ride, folks! The popular PlayStation game, Twisted Metal is being made into a full-blown web series, and it’s looking like it’s going to be a doozy.
Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions began development in May 2019, with Peacock ordering a full season in February 2022. After months of filming in New Orleans from May to August 2022, the series will ultimately debut on Peacock in 2023 on an undetermined date.
For those unfamiliar with the game, Twisted Metal was a high-octane, action-packed game that first burst onto the gaming scene in 1995.
It quickly gained a massive following, thanks to its intense vehicular combat and over-the-top characters. And now, fans of the game are eagerly anticipating the release of the web series, which promises to be just as exciting and adrenaline-fueled as the game that inspired it.
So what can we expect from the Twisted Metal web series? Well, for starters, we can expect some seriously badass cars.
In the game, players would battle it out in a variety of heavily armed vehicles, ranging from muscle cars to ice cream trucks (yes, you read that right). And from what we’ve seen of the web series so far, it looks like we can expect the same kind of vehicular mayhem.
The upcoming Twisted Metal series is set to have a star-studded cast that is sure to bring the game’s iconic characters to life in a big way.
The primary cast includes some heavy hitters, with Anthony Mackie taking on the lead role of John Doe, Stephanie Beatriz playing the character of Quiet, and Thomas Haden Church playing Agent Stone. WWE wrestler Samoa Joe is set to bring the sinister and iconic character of Sweet Tooth to life, while Will Arnett will be providing the voice of the murderous clown-faced ice cream truck driver.
And rounding out the cast is Richard Cabral as Loud, another character from the game who is sure to add even more excitement to the already-action-packed series. With such a talented cast at the helm, it’s safe to say that Twisted Metal is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling and entertaining shows of the year.
But it’s not just about the cars. The game also featured a cast of memorable characters, each with their own unique personality and motivations. And it looks like the web series is going to be no different.
We’ve already seen glimpses of Sweet Tooth, the clown-faced ice cream truck driver who serves as the game’s mascot, as well as Calypso, the sinister mastermind who oversees the game’s twisted tournament. And we can’t wait to see what other characters the series has in store for us.
Of course, one of the biggest challenges facing any adaptation of a popular video game is staying true to the source material while also carving out its own identity.
And from what we understand so far it looks like it’s striking the perfect balance. The series promises to be a faithful adaptation of the game, while also adding its own unique twists and turns.
it’s clear that the Twisted Metal web series is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of the game and newcomers alike.
With its high-octane action, memorable characters, and over-the-top vehicles, it’s sure to be a wild ride from start to finish. So mark your calendars and get ready for some seriously twisted fun in 2023!
