I have...so little faith in how this will turn out. What's even worse, to put a dingleberry on an already shit sundae, it looks like a game entry will be wasted with the show:

https://www.eurogamer.net/new-twisted-metal-game-reportedly-now-being-handled-by...

The people behind the development of THAT game are people who've done..."horror shooter The Persistence, PlayStation's PlayRoom games, and PSVR2's upcoming Horizon Call of the Mountain"

This is going to be a disaster oncoming for the series. If only Jaffe didn't shoot himself in the fucking foot by making a huge ass out of himself, he could've stepped in as an attempt to save what he and the other studios said in the TMHO credit cinematic "our baby".

I throw my arms up in no hope that either the show and this entry will revitalize the series. Fuck you, Sony.

Twisted Metal TV airing August 2023?

"Next Episode (airs 12 Aug. 2023)"
According to IMDB Twisted Metal will be airing in August 2023.
But this could be incorrect or information that isn't supposed to be public yet, but it aligns with Samoa Joe's comments about the show being close to being released.

I can confirm this release date is incorrect and there is still no date for the TV series. Someone who worked on the show let me know -


"No, IMDb hasn't been as reliable as it was in the past after it got acquired by Amazon. 8/12 is a saturday. I worked on the show so we'll be the first to know once they announce a release date."


But the action-packed series is still set to premiere this year in 2023, that much is confirmed.

Edit - More news. While no specific details can be given out because of an NDA it is said that the character Quiet played by Stephanie Beatriz is the "badass" of the show and that a Season 2 of Twisted Metal is being planned and may begin filming after Anthony Mackie wraps up his work on the next Captain America series film.

Twisted Metal TV debuts July 27th, new poster

The poster features the Sweet Tooth vehicle in a design very similar to the 2012 design, or a variation of that, as there are spikes on the front bumper. I am actually a little disappointed they didn't add anything to the design that I can see. I mean, I respect they went with an existing look, but it's been over a decade since the PS3 game, it would have been nice to see some evolution in design for Sweet Tooth (the vehicle).

Also on the poster is John Doe, played by Anthony Mackie, driving a blue and white painted vehicle, not enough detail to see exactly the car type, but the painting style makes me think of Spectre/Specter although I don't think it is that vehicle. It's more likely the show's version of Roadkill, as John Doe was associated with a vehicle named Roadkill in Twisted Metal: Black, but it has more of a generic car design, like Death Warrant. In fact it even has a front hood like Death Warrant... so it's basically John Doe driving a version of Death Warrant with a Spectre-ish paint job but it will probably be called Roadkill. 
As for John Doe himself, that facial expression doesn't exactly make me think of a man suffering memory loss, more like the look of someone who wants to race.
The logo "Twisted Metal" is pretty standard; nothing really new except the purple coloring which makes me think of Shadow. There are missiles shooting up in the sky above the logo, and while they look more like the Nuke missiles I would imagine they are likelier fire/homing missiles (missing their signature color).
There are a couple generic looking vehicles in the background as well, and they look near identical. I wonder if they are the agent characters, Agent Stone & Agent Shepherd? Hopefully not, I want to see a shiny red Crimson Fury. Seeing 2 random generic cars on the poster worries me, as TM vehicles should have creative designs, but maybe these are 2 extra cars for the sake of the poster and not actual characters. 
Lastly, there appears to be a city in the far background. I would guess that is New San Francisco. I'm surprised they went with SF over LA. LA was the Twisted Metal spot. San Francisco makes me think of Rogue Trip Vacation 2012 more. Maybe Rogue Trip inspired the decision, who knows.

Anyway, that's the news. Tomorrow (4/28) the official trailer will come out, and the release date for Peacock's Twisted Metal is July 27th
