Twisted Metal Season 3 has been greenlit by Peacock

One of the biggest surprise hits from the recent rise in adaptations of video games into film/TV was Peacock’s Twisted Metal. Released back in 2023, a second Season was quickly greenlit – arriving just a few months ago. It appears as though Peacock is not done however, with a Season 3 of Twisted Metal now being officially announced,

As reported by the publication Variety, a 3rd Season of Peacock’s Twisted Metal series has been greenlit. This perhaps is not too surprising given the success of the show itself, with July’s Season 2 amassing almost a Billion minutes of watch time – not bad for a show based on a decades old IP with no new entries.

That said, while the series is set to return, its creator will not, with the publication confirming that Twisted Metal’s co-creator and showrunner ‘Michael Jonathan Smith’ has exited the project.

This hopefully should not impact development however, with David Reed (known best for working on The Boys) already announced to be taking over the role of showrunner and executive producer.

As mentioned, the original Season 1 for Twisted Metal was a surprise hit, especially given the less-than-stellar reception towards the show prior to its release.

With two successful Seasons under its belt now (and a third on the way), here’s to hoping that Sony realises the potential within the Twisted Metal franchise.
