Twisted Metal Sneak Peek: Sweet Tooth Ain’t Clowning Around in Peacock’s Video Game Adaptation

Sweet Tooth is rarin’ to make John Doe cash in his chips in a first sneak peek from Twisted Metal, Peacock‘s live-action adaptation of the PlayStation game series, which will release all 10 half-hour episodes on Thursday, July 27.

Described as a “high-octane action comedy” based on an original take by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and written by Michael Jonathan Smith (Cobra Kai), Twisted Metal follows MCU vet Anthony Mackie’s “John Doe,” a motor-mouthed outsider who is offered a chance at a better life — but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

“With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, John Doe will face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck,” the official synopsis promises us.

Pro wrestler Joe Seanoa (aka AEW’s Samoa Joe) plays said clown, Sweet Tooth, with Will Arnett providing the villain’s voice.

The cast for the series also includes Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) as Quiet and Thomas Haden Church (Divorce) as Agent Stone, plus guest stars Neve Campbell (The Lincoln Lawyer), Richard Cabral (Mayans MC), Mike Mitchell (Netflix’s Love), Tahj Vaughans (P-Valley) and Lou Beatty Jr. (A Million Little Things).
