Peacock’s adaptation of Twisted Metal has had a teaser trailer released, with main star Anthony Mackie taking the wheel for a dangerous road trip. Sweet Tooth does also make a brief appearance as well. The teaser shows a Las Vegas in ruins as well a quick snap of Mackie’s car firing a weapon. The Twisted Metal teaser also confirms that the show will be released on July 27th.

The show, which was first confirmed in 2019, will consist of 10 episodes. In the main role is Anthony Mackie as a character simply known as John Doe, who is tasked with delivering a package to have a better life. The catch is that he has to drive across a post apocalyptic wasteland. Joining him on the show are Tahj Vaughans as Mike, and Brooklyn 99 star Stephanie Beatriz. Will Arnett is playing the role of series icon Sweet Tooth.

Twisted Metal will be a mixture of action and comedy, leaning into the outlandishness of the concept. The first Twisted Metal was released in 1995 followed by Twisted Metal 2 in 1996. Twisted Metal 3 and 4 followed in 1998 and 1999 respectively, with Twisted Metal: Black releasing in 2001. There was then a release on PSP with the final game, Twisted Metal, releasing in 2012 on PS3.

There have been rumours that a Twisted Metal reboot game is also in development at Sony, but has had some issues. It was reported last year that Lucid Games had been taken off of the project, with it being handed to a first party developer but it is not known which one. Allegedly, this game was supposed to tie in with the TV show, however with the show a mere three months away it is very unlikely that will be happening. Sony may confirm the game’s existence around the time of the show.
