What Time Do Twisted Metal Episodes Start Streaming?
Peacock doesn’t always start streaming new episodes of shows at the same time. That said, historically, Peacock shows tend to drop around 5:00 a.m. Eastern time. So, very early on July 31, the first three Twisted Metal episodes will be live.
What is the Plot of Twisted Metal Season 2’s Debut Episodes?
Season 2 of Twisted Metal will pick up where Season 1 left off: John (Anthony Mackie) has been separated from Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) and his sister. But, as a driver in the post-apocalyptic landscape of Twisted Metal, John and Quiet, as well as John’s sister, Dollface (Tiana Okoye), will the thrust into a massive tournament.
If you skipped Twisted Metal Season 1, the new season is actually an okay place to start. The first episode will tell you everything you need to know and have you rooting for John and Quiet to reunite and start ripping some sh*t up.
