Twisted Metal is coming soon to Peacock, and the streaming service has released a new preview and first-look photos. The live-action comedy series is based on the popular Playstation video game.
Starring Anthony Mackie (above, left), Stephanie Beatriz, Thomas Haden Church, Will Arnett, Joe Seanoa, the series follows a man (Mackie) as he tries to deliver a mysterious package through a post-apocalyptic wasteland while being chased by an insane clown.
Guest stars for the 10-episode series include Neve Campbell, Richard Cabral, Mike Mitchell, Tahj Vaughans, and Lou Beatty Jr.
Peacock revealed more about the upcoming series in a press release:
“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 arrives on July 27th. A new teaser and more photos from Twisted Metal are below.
