By Peacock’s successful video game portrayal Twisted Metal has been greenlit for a third season (according to Variety). Nevertheless, the upcoming season will feature notable transformations, as showrunner and co-creator Michael Jonathan Smith is said to be leaving, with David Reed stepping into his role at the helm.
Reed is a fitting choice as a showrunner for Twisted Metal, given his background as a writer that includes work on The Boys and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The Boys, in particular, serves as an apt comparison to the essence of Twisted Metal, which balances intense action with a healthy dose of absurdity.
