Twisted Metal comes to life with trailer for Peacock’s PlayStation adaptation

April 28, 2023 by Amie Cranswick

Peacock has released a poster and trailer for Twisted Metal, the live-action action-comedy based on the classic PlayStation video game franchise.

Starring Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, Thomas Haden Church, Will Arnett, and Joe Seanoa, the live-action series follows a motor-mouthed outsider as he travels across a post-apocalyptic wasteland to deliver a mysterious package, in exchange of a chance of a better life.

Twisted Metal, a half-hour live-action TV series based on the classic PlayStation game series, is a high-octane action comedy, based on an original take by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick and written by Michael Jonathan Smith, 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. With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.

The series features guest star appearances from Neve Campbell, Richard Cabral, Mike Mitchell, Tahj Vaughans, and Lou Beatty Jr.

Twisted Metal premieres on Peacock on July 27th.
