Twisted Metal Easter Eggs Tease Plot of Season 2

Peacock’s post-apocalyptic action series, Twisted Metal, based on the popular video game franchise, is known for providing fan service to its viewers. The show takes some liberties with the source material but includes several Easter eggs that fans will appreciate.

Throughout the series, there are numerous visual details that fans of the game will recognize. From John Doe using a cheat code to a flying copy of the original Twisted Metal PlayStation game, these moments add a layer of nostalgia to the show.

Additionally, Twisted Metal includes references to the game that expand the lore and foreshadow the story’s progression in Season 2. For example, killer clown Sweet Tooth returns to the Blackfield Asylum seeking “closure.” This location holds significance in the game series, with many characters spending time there.

John Doe’s car, Evelyn, meets an unfortunate end, but he finds a new companion in Roadkill, an iconic car from the game. Built to win and made entirely from spare parts, Roadkill becomes John’s trusty ride.

Dollface, a creepy character from the game, is given additional backstory in the TV show. She is revealed to be John Doe’s long-lost sister, potentially shedding light on their shared past.

The mysterious villain, Calypso, will play a significant role in Season 2. He is organizing a tournament that will establish the competitive element of the game’s premise in the show’s universe. The bracket features various game characters and figures already introduced in the series.

With these Easter eggs and nods to the source material, Twisted Metal succeeds in providing fan service while building its own unique story. Fans can look forward to the progression of the plot in Season 2.
