Deadline is reporting that Peacock has renewed Twisted Metal for a third season, and while the cast will be returning to reprise their roles, the series will have a new showrunner this time around. It will be David Reed (The Boys) at the helm for season 3, and Reed will also be executive producing. Reed steps in for former showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith, though it’s not exactly clear why.
Peacock did address Smith’s departure, as they said Smith has “concluded his involvement as showrunner and executive producer,” in a statement. It seems the show is in reliable hands though, as Reed has been a writer and executive producer on Prime Video’s hit series The Boys and has writing credits on shows like Supernatural, The Magicians, Revolution, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
Sony and Peacock have high hopes for Twisted Metal’s third season, as according to Peacock, season 2 registered 993 million minutes viewed on the service. That allowed it to become Peacock’s second-highest-reaching original returning scripted season, and one would hope the series only continues to build on that immense success.
