Newcomers Saylor Bell Curda and Lisa Gilroy will also join the cast, alongside “The Walking Dead” actor Michael James Shaw.
Season two dives headfirst into the core of the “Twisted Metal” universe: the titular tournament. Showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith (“Cobra Kai”) promises a season built around this iconic event, guaranteeing an explosive showdown of epic proportions.

Along the way, he’ll encounter a mix of allies and adversaries, each with their own agendas.
