Car-based mayhem is back in Peacock’s first trailer Twisted metal series. The series is inspired by the game series it is based on with a bizarre post-apocalypse full of cars with guns on them. The series stars Anthony Mackie (Avengers: endgame), Neve Campbell (scream), and Will Arnett (Arrested development).
The teaser trailer shows Mackie’s John Doe character sitting in a car and loading a shotgun while inserting a mix CD. The teaser also gives us our first look at the series’ most iconic character, the murderous clown Sweet Tooth.
The series already seems to be aiming for a very strange and specific, yet strangely effective tone that evokes ’90s nostalgia for cheesy, action-packed kids’ TV like Power Rangers. However, to find out if the series can maintain that tone for an entire season, we’ll have to wait for it to release on Peacock on July 27.
Twisted metal was created by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the duo behind it Zombieland And deadpooland show run by Michael Jonathan Smith (Cobra Kai).
