Twisted Metal has been one of PlayStation’s more successful attempts to branch out into adaptations based on its IPs, with the Peacock-distributed show seeing high praise and record viewership numbers across its two Seasons. Despite some major shake-ups on the creative side of things, Season 3 of Twisted Metal looks to be going ahead, with Mark Hamill reportedly set to join the cast.
According to Hollywood insider Jeff Sneider via the ‘Insneider’ newsletter (paywalled), Mark Hamill is set to join Season 3 of Peacock’s Twisted Metal TV show. As of now, no exact details on his role have been revealed, though according to Sneider Hamill will likely “be playing Charles Kane, the father of Sweet Tooth.”
As mentioned, the Twisted Metal show saw a ton of success following the arrival of its first Season back in 2023, becoming Peacock’s “most binged” show at the time while amassing solid reviews across the board.
Its second Season (released last year) saw an even greater reception, landing with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 92%. A 3rd Season of the show was quickly greenlit following this, however it is set to come alongside some pretty big changes behind the scenes.
As reported late last year, Twisted Metal Season 3 is not being handled by the same creatives, with showrunner and co-creator Michael Jonathan Smith being replaced by David Reed. Additionally, Mike Mitchell (who portrayed the character Stu) confirmed a few months ago that he would not be returning for Season 3.
Given the many changes which have occurred behind-the-scenes between the successful arrival of Season 2 and the upcoming Season 3, it will be interesting to see how reception towards the series changes moving forward.
