'TWISTED METAL' TV Series Coming To Peacock Sometime This Year!

The much talked about TV adaptation of ‘Twisted Metal’ wrapped production back in September of last year but as of this writing, we haven’t seen much about the series. Today however, a recent tweet by PlayStation Studios head Asad Qizilbash implies that we could see the series debut sometime this year.

For those unaware, PlayStation Productions is Sony’s arm that deals with adapting the company’s video game franchises into films and television shows, not the actual development of games.

Peacock has yet to follow up with a tweet of their own for the release “Twisted Metal”, which will include the likes of Neve Campbell, Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, Thomas Haden Church, Samoa Joe (who will be playing Sweet Tooth) and Will Arnett (who is also on as executive producer, and will be voicing Sweet Tooth).

The original take for the live-action series is from the team behind Zombieland and Deadpool, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.

The premise for the series sees John Doe (played by Mackie), a smart-ass milkman with no memory of his past, joining the Twisted Metal tournament as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make his wish of finding community come true…if he can survive the savage vehicular combat.
