Twisted Metal Season Two is live on @peacock ! You can watch the first three episodes right now, and we will be airing new episodes every week until the end of August. I’m so thankful to have such a stellar team on the show at every stage (we started writing this in Dec 2023!). From our bonkers writers, to our passionate cast and crew, to our tireless post and VFX team, all who love this special insane thing and worked so hard to get it just right. I’m thankful to my exec producers who constantly fought for the show to make sure it was as good as could be, and want to shout out @grantdekernion who was on the front lines with me every day. I want to thank my partners at @peacock and @sonypicturestv who supported every insane idea we had, and never balked at having every expensive car we made blow up spectacularly. I love the people I get to make this show with, especially this astounding cast. This cast is truly something special, led by @anthonymackie and @stephaniebeatriz . Whether they’re returning or new to the show, these are talented, hilarious, lovely people and I was honored to step on stage with each and every one of them. They brought so much to every role and I’m excited for you to either reunite with them, or meet them for the first time. We set out to make a show that lets you forget about the world for a bit so you can cheer your heroes, laugh your ass off, and have a big goofy grin on your face as we do some wild shit to some cars. So make a big ol’ bucket of buttery popcorn, crack a beer (or pop), and kick your feet up. Welcome to Twisted Metal.

I can't believe I finally get to say this... but Twisted Metal is now streaming on @Peacock ! You can binge all ten episodes right now and I really hope you do. I'm so proud of the amazing writers, producers, directors, cast, and crew who helped make this five hour love letter to the #TwistedMetal games (and the era they came out in). Honestly the fact that this show even exists boggles my goddamn mind. On day one our goal was to make a show that was fucking fun, and we succeeded. Thank you to everyone who helped make this show a reality, and a big big thank you to the TM fans old and new. Whether you checked out the pilot, are mid-binge, or one of the sick fucks who already made it to the end - I appreciate you. And yes, there is a post credit to the finale 🤫

Tomorrow we air our final 3️⃣ episodes of #twistedmetal season two on @peacock . Some big shit happens. So if you do not want to get spoiled, I’d advise you from staying away from social media or figuring out some way to block spoilers until you watch the finale. To quote Sweet Tooth: “Keep your head on a swivel!” I’m extremely proud of these last three episodes, and season two as a whole. I’ll have more to say tomorrow. Buckle up, enjoy the ride, and I’ll see you on the other side.

Behind the scenes of Sweet Tooth and Harold at prom. Spoilers for 209‼️ The goal with the paper bags gag was to distill the dresses into a simple color block, as if Sweet tooth had drawn them himself. They had to look imperfect. I did some sketches to show what I was thinking. Credit to @xndra_design for her incredible work designing these! We were dying on set. This is the kind of stuff I love about our show - just absolute silliness. And then there’s Harold himself. I loved the idea that Sweet Tooth sees everyone as disposable, but sees Harold as his living and breathing bff. Even in the writers room @d.sawa was the dream, so I was over the moon when he agreed to come play with us. A joy on set, and was absolutely hysterical with @samoajoe . As magical as prom itself. A huge thank you to the legend Devon Sawa for making this moment so special! And a shoutout to @lizvastola and her beyond talented team for Harold’s suit, as well as all the incredible costumes for prom. My favorite detail is Harold’s paper napkin pocket square. Prom was a very special episode, but we got 3️⃣ more to go. This Thursday, the tournament comes to an end.
