By Peacock’s game-to-series adaptation “Twisted Metal” launched last July and became the streamer’s “most-binged” comedy premiere – pulling in 400 million viewing minutes in its opening weekend.
The show scored a second season renewal in December and whilst there’s no word on when production might begin, one of the first season’s stars indicates he’d be happy to come back.
Thomas Haden Church, who played Agent Stone in the first season, tells ComicBook.com he’d be quite welcome to return – even as it was suggested his character committed suicide (albeit off camera) in his final scene:
Michael and I talked about that. Michael Jonathan Smith, the showrunner. And when we were setting that up, that scene where I get the hatchet to the face, and then she gives me the pistol. I asked him, I go, ‘Are we gonna see this?’ And he goes, ‘I don’t know.’ And so we shot it, we shot it all different ways where you do see me put the pistol near my head and pull the trigger, and then they shot it where you just hear it. Who knows?
I mean, the character was apparently very popular. You know, with a fan reaction. The show got a huge audience. But apparently, a lot of the feedback was that people really liked Agent Stone. So I wouldn’t be surprised. And that’s a tough look to get, you know, because that hair.”
Game characters like Calypso and the driver Axel are confirmed to be appearing in the second season which will likely premiere in 2025.
