Description: Twisted Metal is a high-octane action comedy, based on an original take by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick and written by Michael Jonathan Smith, about a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.

Status: Peacock is reporting that this series has debuted as one of the streamer’s most-binged comedy series to date. They have not released any numbers, but Deadline has some early stats from Nielsen that indicate the show had 400 million minutes of viewing in its first week. All of that sounds promising for this video game-based series and could help it continue into a second year.
