Peacock has released a sneak peek clip for the “Twisted Metal” TV series, which gave fans a look at AEW’s Samoa Joe as Sweet Tooth. While Joe plays the character physically, Will Arnett is the one doing the dialogue.
The show was greenlit for a full season by Peacock in February 2022 and filmed in New Orleans from May to August. It stars Anthony Mackie, Tahj Vaughans, Stephanie Beatriz, Chelle Ramos, and Michael Carollo.
The series is based on the classic PlayStation game of the same name. It’s being developed by Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation. The synopsis notes:
“In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, John Doe, a talkative milkman with amnesia, is given a mission to traverse the desolate world to deliver a cryptic package in order to stay alive. Alongside the assistance of Quiet, a rash car thief, Doe faces a life-altering opportunity but must confront ruthless marauders in deadly and destructive vehicles to secure a chance at a better future.”
The show will premiere on July 27 and will have ten episodes in the first season. As seen below, the new clip sees Joe fighting Mackie in what seems to be a small casino:
