Peacock's hit video game adaptation Twisted Metal has been renewed for season 3 (per Variety). However, the new season won't be without some big changes, as showrunner and co-creator Michael Jonathan Smith is reportedly departing, with David Reed taking his place at the head of the table.

Reed makes total sense as a showrunner for Twisted Metal, as his pedigree as a writer includes stints on both The Boys and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The Boys in particular is a good comparison to the style of Twisted Metal, which is both tensely action-packed, and also more than a little wacky.

I've been Newsarama's resident Marvel Comics expert and general comic book historian since 2011, and now I'm the Entertainment Writer at GamesRadar+. I've also been the on-site reporter at most major comic conventions such as Comic-Con International: San Diego, New York Comic Con, and C2E2. Outside of comic journalism, I am the artist of many weird pictures, and the guitarist of many heavy riffs. (They/Them)
