What to Expect From Twisted Metal at Comic-Con 2025
Rev up for the new season.
It’s about to get bats**t crazy in San Diego.
Peacock is shifting into high gear at Comic-Con 2025 by teeing up three days of can't-miss Twisted Metal action, from Thursday, July 24 through Saturday, July 26. The high-octane Original series, starring Anthony Mackie as John Doe and Stephanie Beatriz as Quiet, returns for Season 2 on July 31.
What better way to count down to the anticipated new season than a Ballroom 20 panel on Thursday, July 24? At the panel, join Twisted Metal stars Mackie, Beatriz, Joe Seanoa, Anthony Carrigan, and executive producers Michael Jonathan Smith and Asad Qizilbash as they offer an exclusive sneak peek at Season 2.
Then on Saturday, July 26, don’t miss out on an exclusive advance screening of the first two episodes of Twisted Metal Season 2 before they officially drop on July 31.
And from Thursday, July 24 to Saturday, July 26, immerse yourself in the chaotic world of Twisted Metal in an adrenaline-pumping bumper car activation. An homage to the deadly tournament at the center of Season 2, Twisted Metal Bumper Battle allows you the chance to pick your ride – the show's iconic vehicles reimagined as bumper cars – and take part in your own version of the demolition derby tournament featured in the show. Of course, there will be photo ops, a display of some of the show’s iconic cars, and surprises along the way.
In Season 2 of Twisted Metal, John Doe (Mackie) and Quiet (Beatriz) find themselves entering a deadly tournament hosted by a mysterious man known as Calypso (Carrigan). As they try to survive an onslaught of dangerous new foes and familiar faces, including the murderous clown Sweet Tooth (Seanoa and Will Arnett), things get complicated for John when he reunites with his long-lost sister, the vigilante Dollface (Tiana Okoye).
