Season 2 will also run for 12 episodes, two more than season 1.

What Twisted Metal’s Car Stunts Mean For Season 2
The Upcoming Episodes Promise Much More Action
Twisted Metalseason 1 endedwithJohn being forced to race in Calypso’s tournament by Raven,with his mission having been a ploy to see if he was trustworthy. During his travels, though, he came into conflict with a variety of enemies, from a tense relationship with psychotic clown Sweet Tooth, to making enemies with former police officer Agent Stone.
Thecast ofTwisted Metalappears to be mostly staying the same in season 2, with some additions, such as Axel and Mr. Grimm from the games. With these new characters, coupled with an extended episode count,it already lays the groundwork for the number of action scenes Smith has confirmed. This will likely include many game references as well.
With the number of car stunt sequences double that of season 1, it sounds like there’s going to be many more action-packed events that unfold throughout season 2. While it’s unclear when they’re going to happen,it seems safe to assume Calypso’s tournament will feature a good number of these sequencesas characters race against one another.
