One star is "heartbroken" that they can't return for Twisted Metal season 2 due to scheduling conflicts, teasing that the upcoming instalment is "going to be nuts"

Jason Mantzoukas and Anthony Mackie in Twisted Metal.

Good video game adaptations – what a concept, right? Besides Fallout, The Last of Us, and the Sonic movies, there's also a surprise hit that everyone pumped their brakes for in the case of Twisted Metal. Debuting its first season in 2023 on Peacock, the show was met with a positive reception from critics and fans alike. So it's great to see that a second season has completed filming. What's not great to see is that one of its stars, Jason Mantzoukas, won't be among those returning.

Starring Anthony Mackie as a delivery guy driving across a scorched USA with all manner of crazed characters on the road, Jason Mantzoukas appeared in the first season to wreck his route a little, playing Preacher. Unfortunately, as revealed by Mantzoukas while attending the Invincible Season 3 premiere (via Collider), schedule issues stopped him from hitting the road again.
