Twisted Metal season 2 adds three new cast members, revealing a new look behind the scenes of the Peacock Original. Debuting in July 2023, the ten-episode first installment of the action comedy focused on Anthony Mackie's delivery man who has to ensure the safe arrival of a package in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Helped by a mysterious partner, played by Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Stephanie Beatriz, the cast also included Neve Campbell, Thomas Haden-Chruch, wrestler Samoa Joe, and Will Arnett as Sweet Tooth. But the ensemble is growing for Twisted Metal season 2, which is currently filming.
Deadline confirms that Twisted List has added three new cast members to the cast in recurring roles. Character details are not mentioned, but the actors are Saylor Bell Curda (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series), Michael James Shaw (The Walking Dead), and Lisa Gilroy ( Jury Duty).

Following the Twisted Metal season 1 finale, which sets the stage for the deadly tournament, the video game adaptation is poised to expand with its second installment. It's one of Peacock's biggest hits, making a solid debut on the streaming charts, and the show's spotlight may only get brighter if it pulls off the deadly tournament and its popular participants satisfyingly.
