Michael Jonathan Smith, the co-creator and showrunner of the Peacock post-apocalyptic motion comedy sequence Twisted Steel, lately spoke about why sure characters, like Jason Mantzoukas‘ Preacher, won’t seem in Season 2 of the present. Twisted Steel premiered on July 27, 2023, and all 10 episodes of its inaugural season had been launched in bulk. Nevertheless, the sophomore season, which debuted on July 31, 2025, will air weekly.
Smith defined in an interview with ScreenRant that scheduling points and makes an attempt to discover a approach to accommodate the present’s huge forged ultimately led to the choice to go away out Preacher and several other different characters within the second chapter. “There have been some characters from season 1 that I actually needed to carry again, however due to scheduling and due to how huge our forged was, we ended up shifting it round just a little bit,” Smith stated.
Notably, Twisted Steel is an adaptation of the vehicular fight online game franchise of the identical title from Sony Interactive Leisure. Season 2 will revolve round Calypso’s upcoming event, and the psychotic killer clown Candy Tooth will likely be a pivotal a part of the narrative. Though Peacher and some different characters will likely be absent, Smith teased that they will return within the potential Season 3. “There’s an concept that I’m not gonna spoil… however there’s something that I’m saving for subsequent season for certain, God prepared,” he stated.
From what Smith acknowledged, it appeared that he and his collaborators may need confronted some points regrouping the forged for the second season. That is smart given how prominently energetic a few of these actors are as of late. Maybe, if and when Season 3 goes into manufacturing, scheduling may not turn out to be a significant concern.
The forged of Twisted Steel consists of Anthony Mackie as John Doe, Will Arnett (voice) as Candy Tooth, and Anthony Carrigan as Calypso.
