One Of The Best Video Game Adaptations Of Recent Years Is Back And Hitting The Gas!
The story's structure and pacing create a thrilling experience for viewers to enjoy.
After two years of waiting, Twisted Metal is finally back with more speed, dust clouds, and screeching tires. Showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith revealed how the exciting second season is structured.
The new season features twelve episodes instead of the ten from the debut. The first three episodes are now online and will be followed by two episodes per week leading up to the finale. In the final week, three episodes will once again be released online.
Smith clarified at press conferences that the bond between John (Anthony Mackie) and Quiet (Stefanie Beatriz) is central to the story. "[In the first season] we built a specific post-apocalyptic world. We want viewers to understand the world and how the bond between John and Quiet develops," said the showrunner.
This statement clarifies why the tournament takes place only in the second season. Smith concludes: "When the characters are at the starting line, the intention is for the viewer to have gotten to know them. You understand why they do what they do: there is a motive, just like in the games. Then the fun begins."
Twisted Metal clearly presents itself as an ambitious series. Rather than just showcasing striking metal and roaring engines, the creators emphasize equally strong characters as the driving force behind this beloved video game adaptation.
