Despite being out of the spotligt for nearly a decade, there's a Twisted Metal TV series on the way inspired by the PlayStation video game franchise.

Deadline has word that Arrested Development star Will Arnett, Deadpool writers Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick, and Cobra Kai writer Michael Jonathan Smith think now is the time to turn the Twisted Metal video game franchise into a TV series. In what sounds like a Mad Max: Fury Road approach to the franchise, here’s how the series is described:

The action comedy follows a motor-mouthed outsider 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 trigger-happy car thief, he’ll 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.

Often referred to as Sweet Tooth, the clown in question is actually named Needles Kane, and he’s been the face of Twisted Metal series since it began. But there has been a wide variety of different characters, often veering into horror territory, who have been part of the demolition derby game over the years.

Live-Action Twisted Metal Series Lands At Peacock - SlashFilm

The classic car combat video game series is becoming a TV series on Peacock.

A classic Playstation game is getting the TV treatment: Peacock just announced they have a "Twisted Metal" series in the works.

'90s kids and classic video game fans will remember the original "Twisted Metal" as an apocalyptic demolition derby game that pitted characters against one another in a car fight to the death. The original 1995 game took place in a futuristic (aka 2005) version of Los Angeles, and was successful enough to garner several sequels. Now, the game is becoming a series with a talented team behind it.

"Cobra Kai" executive producer Michael Jonathan Smith will serve as showrunner on the new series, with the team behind Netflix's new detective comedy "Murderville," Will Arnett and Marc Forman, also executive producing. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who wrote "Zombieland" and the "Deadpool" films, are working on the story for the series, which will be a half-hour, live-action comedy.

Will Arnett confirmed to play Sweet Tooth. I love Will Arnett and think he can do no wrong, but this might be stretching it :LOL:

But the fact that this is peacock means I'll never watch it anyways.
