Twisted Metal’s second edition will see the return of John Doe played by Anthony Mackie. He’s a delivery driver with amnesia issues. Quiet, the car thief is played by Stephanie Beatriz and will also be back. Samoa Joe and Will Arnett are returning as Sweet Tooth, the ice cream truck driving clown.

Season 2 of Twisted Metal revolves around a vehicular tournament hosted by Calypso, the winner of which will be granted their heart’s deepest desire. As per the synopsis, “the stakes couldn’t be higher as John Doe and Quiet risk their lives to compete in a dangerous demolition derby tournament.”
“The prize? A single wish, their greatest heart’s desire, granted. The only problem is 16 other drivers have wishes of their own. It’s too bad not all of them will survive,” the description concludes about what to expect from it. Michael Jonathan Smith, the showrunner, spoke about it back in 2023.
He told NBC, “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.” Michael said it was going to be fun to see all the characters interact and it just feels like a new toy box to him.
