Peacock’s TV series adaptation of the 1990s PlayStation video game franchise “Twisted Metal” has reportedly wrapped filming.

Writer and executive producer Michael Jonathan Smith (“Cobra Kai”) announced the end of shooting of the half-hour action-comedy series on Twitter.

Smith praised his production team, who had to deal with all sorts of complications involving the environment, malfunctions and more:

“The cast and crew of ‘Twisted Metal’ was something special. Even with lightning delays, extreme heat, and cars that wouldn’t do as they’re told, everyone worked as hard as they could to make sure ‘Twisted Metal’ kicked as much as possible.

The last day of shooting felt like the last day of camp, with lots of laughs, a few tears, and ice cream being handed out the back of Sweet Tooth’s truck. We all cannot wait for you to see this insane thing we spent our summer shooting. Now, to post [production]!”

The series’ cast includes Anthony Mackie, Will Arnett, Stephanie Beatriz, Tahj Vaughans, Michael Carollo, Neve Campbell, Thomas Haden Church and Chloe Fineman. It is executive produced by “Deadpool” duo Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
