IGN has premiered the first poster for “Twisted Metal,” the high-octane action comedy series starring Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz. The one-sheet arrives ahead of the show’s teaser trailer which debuts online shortly.
Though inspired by the classic PlayStation game series, the show is based on an original take by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick (“Deadpool”) and written by Michael Jonathan Smith (“Cobra Kai”).
The live-action half-hour action-comedy series follows a motor-mouthed outsider (Mackie) who is offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
With the help of a trigger-happy car thief (Beatriz), he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road.
One of those is Sweet Tooth (Will Arnett) – a lover of chaos and a majestic rage-filled killer who dons an ever-smiling flaming-haired clown mask and drives a signature ice cream truck. Thomas Haden Church and Neve Campbell co-star.
Playstation Productions is backing the series which has Michael Jonathan Smith as writer, showrunner, and executive producer whilst Reese, Wernick, Mackie and Kitao Sakurai executive produce.
We have the exclusive new poster for @Peacock’s #TwistedMetal show starring Anthony Mackie.
The teaser trailer drops Friday! https://t.co/DDXNXG0VxD pic.twitter.com/ktYebJN6M0
