What to Expect from Twisted Metal Season 2
Season 1 set the stage by introducing the post-apocalyptic world and its colorful characters, ending on a cliffhanger that teased the infamous Twisted Metal tournament. Season 2 dives headfirst into this car combat extravaganza, hosted by the enigmatic Calypso, who promises the winner their heart’s desire. Expect intense vehicular battles, high-stakes races, and explosive set pieces as 16 drivers compete in a deadly demolition derby. Showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith likened it to a “tournament season,” with every character’s motives tied to the competition, drawing parallels to Cobra Kai’s tournament arcs.
