Twisted Metal really got audiences revved up when it roared onto streaming services in 2023. Set in an apocalyptic US hellscape, it starred Anthony Mackie (Captain America: Brave New World) as John Doe, a wise-cracking amnesiac ferrying supplies between civilization’s remaining outposts while outrunning marauders like the unhinged clown Sweet Tooth. It was a darkly funny, adrenaline-fuelled blast that, in its sophomore season, promises to really hit the accelerator. Read on below, where we’ll explain how to watch Twisted Metal Season 2 online and stream every episode from anywhere with a VPN.
Exceling at candy-colored carnage, Twisted Metal was co-developed by Zombieland and Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick and based on the iconic PlayStation game franchise. Reese, Wernick, and showrunner Michael John Smith initially expanded its slim conceit, providing a backstory in which civilization’s collapse led to criminals being exiled to the wastelands beyond city walls. Now Season 2 will return to the game’s rip-roaring USP: the titular destruction derby where multiple murderous goons barrel around in vehicles machine-tooled to inflict major ballistic annihilation.
