Twisted Metal Showrunner Teases Calypso, Dollface & More For Season Two

Twisted Metal is returning for a second season on Peacock, and showrunner showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith has teased Calypso, Dollface and others for the second run. As reported last month, Peacock renewed the video game adaptation for a second season. Smith spoke with NBC Insider and gave some details on what to expect, confirming that the aforementioned characters will be appearing. You can check out some other highlights below:

On the second season’s status: “I’m really excited. We have an amazing team of writers and we’re discussing the arc of the season and what the first episode might be, looking at the big picture.”

On bringing in Mr. Grimm: “[Mr. Grimm is] my favorite and I’m excited to capture what the fans are excited about seeing, but also [answering the question of]: ‘How does he exist in the world we’ve set up?’ I think there’s just going to be a lot of fun with him — what kind of character he is in this world and how does he interact with people like Sweet Tooth?”

On exploring the tournament more: I’m excited for fans to see these characters come to life and see what makes them funny and what makes them heartbroken. I think it’s gonna be fun to dive into these people … We introduced a lot of these characters — Preacher, Bloody Mary, John, Quiet, Watts — it’s gonna be fun to put them all in a [single] place at the tournament and have them interact. There’s a lot of really fun, interconnective character headspace stuff that I’m really excited to dive into. It feels like a new toy box.”

On how long the show may last: “I think this show could go on for as long as people want it to and I think that there’s tons more stories to tell in it, which is really exciting… I’m excited for you to see more. I think it’s gonna be wild.”
