Story by : Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick and Michael Jonathan Smith		July 27, 2023 (2023-07-27)
In a post-apocalyptic world after a large-scale cyber attack, cities have become walled fortresses. Criminals have been exiled outside the cities and live in a lawless area. Outside of the cities, some individuals work as milkmen, and transport goods between cities. One milkman, John Doe, is transporting goods to New San Francisco, and meets with the Chief Operations Officer of the city, Raven. Raven asks John to retrieve a package from New Chicago, in exchange for citizenship in New San Francisco. Raven introduces John to her husband, Noah, and child, Dove, and treats him to a nice dinner. After John leaves to retrieve the package, Raven reveals that her offer has been a setup, and she does not have a child or a spouse. Outside of the cities, a brother and sister, Loud and Quiet, are fleeing from Agent Stone and his deputy, Shepard. They are apprehended, and given the choice for one of them killing themselves or they both die. Loud kills himself, and Quiet is branded. John travels through Las Vegas on his way to New Chicago when he encounters Quiet, and realizes that she had previously tried to break into his car. They begin to fight, but decide to team up after they are pursued by a psychopathic clown, Sweet Tooth.

Quiet and John flee from Sweet Tooth in Las Vegas, when they're fighting again over a car. They retreat into a casino, and Quiet flees into a vent. John is apprehended by Sweet Tooth, who insists that John must see his show. Sweet Tooth reveals that Quiet is also his prisoner, but John convinces him to release her. Sweet Tooth puts on a show and asks for their feedback; he becomes angry when John compliments him. Quiet, who had previously acted as if she was mute, criticizes the show. Sweet Tooth appreciates their honesty and releases them. Outside of Las Vegas, cannibals are preparing to eat former security guards, Mike and Stu, when they are rescued by Agent Stone. Stone offers them the chance to join his unit if they kill people attempting to steal supplies. After they join Officer Stone, Mike and Stu are at a checkpoint that John and Quiet attempt to drive through.

John and Quiet are apprehended at Hoover Dam and brought in for questioning. Agent Stone is curious about John's map, which shows a route to New Chicago that avoids all of Stone's checkpoints. Stone orders for John and Quiet to be killed, but they convince Stu not to kill them and escape together. Stu brings John back to his car, while Quiet kills Shepard and learns that Stone has traveled to Topeka. The three of them try to flee together, but Stu is injured by the car and is captured by Mike. John and Quiet flee, and she asks him to take her to Topeka. In flashbacks to 2002, Stone is a disrespected police officer who uses the end of society to reinvent himself as the arbiter of law and order.

Quiet convinces Amber that they are trying to help Granny, and Amber lets them leave with the plants. They are pursued by religious fanatics and hide in a movie theater. John washes Quiet's jacket, which upsets her as it still has blood from her dead brother, Loud. They return the plants to Granny, who concocts a tea that she drinks to kill herself.

Stu selflessly refuses to let Mike die, although he betrayed him earlier. Quiet infiltrates a police car and disguises herself as one of Stone's agents. She begins to suffer hallucinations of her late brother, Loud. Her cover is blown due to her bionic finger forcing her to go head-to-head with Stone in battle. Stone overpowers her and attempts to kill her using machine guns. John, having missed Quiet, appears and shoots Stone with his only missile. Quiet, weak from her injuries, blacks out and John carries her to safety.

While waiting out a storm in the Astral Burger, a former fast-food restaurant, Quiet is angry that John did not kill Stone, but then they have sex in the restaurant's ball pit. Quiet reflects upon her former life; she and Loud worked picking oranges, and Quiet got them a contract to work for four years of indentured servitude in a human settlement in exchange for beachfront property. Three years later, Quiet and Loud both work in the OC community, where servants are abused, including amputations as punishment. Quiet's middle finger was removed by her master and worn on a necklace. At the Astral Burger, she encounters Loud, who works there. An active shooter outside causes the restaurant to be locked down, and Quiet sneaks away to talk to Loud. They are discovered by the manager, who promises to punish Loud. Outside, the active shooter is a servant who screams that the promise of getting land is a lie, and she is shot by law enforcement. That night, the manager cuts off Loud's ear and prepares to hand him over to law enforcement, but the two officers and the manager are killed by Quiet, who has escaped from her master. The two flee the settlement. In the present day, Quiet and John bond, and they drive toward New Chicago.

Production

Development

In May 2019, during an investor relations presentation, Sony Pictures Television confirmed that a television series based on the video game series, Twisted Metal , was in "advanced development" alongside PlayStation Productions. [1] By February 2021, the series was announced with Will Arnett, Rhett Reese, Michael Jonathan Smith and Paul Wernick on board to executive produce. Smith serves as showrunner and wrote the series based on an original take by Reese and Wernick. [2] In February 2022, the half-hour action-comedy was greenlit by Peacock. [3] The following month, Kitao Sakurai joined the series as an executive producer in addition to directing multiple episodes. [4] On December 7, 2023, Peacock renewed the series for a second season. [5]

Casting and characters

In September 2021, Anthony Mackie serves as one of the executive producers and was the first to be cast. He plays John Doe, a "smart-ass milkman" with amnesia, who gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if he can survive the onslaught of vehicular combat. [6] In May 2022, Stephanie Beatriz and Thomas Haden Church were cast in starring roles as Quiet and Agent Stone, respectively. Quiet is a car thief that forms an antagonistic bond with John Doe. [7] Agent Stone is described as "a cold and unyielding post-apocalyptic highway patrolman who rules the roads". [8] Neve Campbell was cast in a recurring role as Raven. [9]

In June, Will Arnett joined the cast, voicing the character Sweet Tooth from the video game series. [10] Sweet Tooth is a "hulking killer in a ghoulish clown mask who prowls the streets of "Lost Vegas" in his weaponized ice cream truck". [11] Pro-wrestler Samoa Joe physically portrays Sweet Tooth. [12] In an interview with Screen Rant , when asked how pro wrestling history influenced his performance, he said "I think the biggest thing was kind of learning to work beyond the mask, which is something you very commonly see in wrestling. From the luchadores of old to our modern highflyers today, having the ability to kind of emote beyond essentially having a dead face is something that was very easy for me to do, especially with this character". [13]

Richard Cabral was cast as Beatriz's overprotective brother, Loud. [14] Tahj Vaughans and Mike Mitchell portray best friends, Mike and Stu. [12] Lou Beatty Jr. plays Tommy, "a grizzled and weathered cartographer who knows the dangers of the Wild Midwest". [12]

For season 2, Anthony Carrigan joined the main cast as Calypso, while Richard de Klerk, Patty Guggenheim and Tiana Okoye have recurring guest roles. [15] In August 2024, Saylor Bell Curda, Michael James Shaw, and Lisa Gilroy joined the cast in recurring roles. [16]

Filming

Season one began principal photography in May 2022 in New Orleans and wrapped that August. [17] [18] It had an estimated budget (before tax incentives) of $45 million. [19] Shooting in New Orleans in the summer came with some challenges. Michael Jonathan Smith told NOLA.com in an interview, "We dealt with lightning delays, hurricane threats, extreme heat and cars that wouldn't do as they were told". [11]

Production for season 2 moved to Toronto, Ontario. Filming began on July 17 and was originally scheduled to end on November 19, 2024, [20] but later wrapped early on October 30. [21] Shooting took place at Cambridge City Hall, which was turned into the city hall for "New San Francisco". [22] In early September, scenes were shot at a bakery across from the closed Delta Secondary School in Hamilton. [23]

Music

The score was composed by Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson, which they drew heavily from 2000s nu-metal. [24]

Release

Twisted Metal premiered on Peacock on July 27, 2023, with all 10 episodes released together. [25] Paramount+ picked up the streaming rights for Canada and the United Kingdom [26] [27] (the show premiering in the latter region on March 21, 2024 [28] ), while it is streamed on Stan in Australia. [29] It was also released on HBO Max in October 2023. [30]

Reception

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 67% of 49 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6/10. The website's consensus reads: "An enjoyable blast of cartoonishly violent mayhem, Twisted Metal sometimes struggles to flesh out its source material, but ultimately offers an adaptation with surprising depth." [31] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the first season a score of 55 out of 100, based on 22 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [32]

Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter gave the first season a positive review saying, "It's a bit odd for any series to spend a season opening up its world only to set up a seemingly less expansive (if more expensive) second season, but fans will probably be happy. Generally, Twisted Metal is fast and fun and definitely won't be in the running for any Emmys, much less 24. And that's OK!" [33] Variety 's Alison Herman gave a negative review, "The story of Twisted Metal is thin and packed with tropes; it's still an undertaking to get there from no story at all. The rest of the industry should ask whether that effort was worth it before the next wave of game TV starts to break". [34]

Daniel Kurland of Bloody Disgusting gave the series a two and half out of five rating. He wrote, "Twisted Metal is dumb fun that's big, broad, and unabashedly bloody. It's nowhere near the level of The Last of Us or even SyFy's Blood Drive , but it's campy escapism that doesn't ask much of its audience". [35]

Viewership

After two weeks, the series became Peacock's "most-binged" comedy premiere to date. According to Nielsen data, it was one of the most watched streaming originals, with 400 million viewing minutes in the weekend following its premiere. [36]
