Tracklist
Season 2 of Peacock‘s “Twisted Metal” throws viewers right into the post-apocalyptic madness, cranking up the carnage, character drama, and dark comedy that made the first season a cult hit. Check it all the music featured in every episode bellow.
Picking up seven months after the cliffhanger of season 1, John Doe (Anthony Mackie) and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) are drawn into the infamous Twisted Metal tournament, a deadly demolition derby orchestrated by the mysterious and magical Calypso (Anthony Carrigan). The promise? One wish granted to the last driver standing.
The tournament isn’t just about wild car battles (though there’s plenty of that, and it’s more explosive than ever). It’s about the characters: John seeks belonging and connection, especially after reuniting with the sister he thought he’d lost, while Quiet’s motivations pit her against the inequities of this dystopian world. Raven rules over New San Francisco with personal vengeance, Sweet Tooth (Joe Seanoa physically, Will Arnett on vocals) is out to defend his crown as the baddest clown, and new alliances and betrayals keep every episode tense and unpredictable.
Season 2 also explores supernatural elements, diving deeper into Calypso’s magic, lending the chaos an almost mythic quality, and ensuring there’s as much psychological drama as there is twisted, turbo-charged action.
The returning cast includes: Anthony Mackie as John Doe, Stephanie Beatriz as Quiet, Joe Seanoa and Will Arnett as Sweet Tooth, Anthony Carrigan as Calypso.
This season expands the lineup with a roster of iconic drivers pulled from the original games: Tiana Okoye as Dollface, Patty Guggenheim as Raven (succeeding Neve Campbell from season 1), Saylor Bell Curda as Mayhem, Michael James Shaw as Axel, Richard de Klerk as Mr. Grimm, Lisa Gilroy as Vermin, Mike Mitchell as Stu.

One of the secret ingredients behind “Twisted Metal’s” propulsive atmosphere is its music, and season 2 is no exception. Emmy winners Leo Birenberg & Zach Robinson return to compose an original score that seamlessly blends 1990s nostalgia, synth-heavy action cues, and adrenaline-pumping themes.
The soundtrack, released by Madison Gate Records alongside the premiere, features all new tracks for the tournament and character moments, with a few license picks mixed in for maximum impact. Birenberg and Robinson, known for their genre-mixing work on “Cobra Kai” and “Obliterated,” make sure the music is just as bold, weird, and explosive as the series itself.
