We at Binged have got you confirmed information on Twisted Metal streaming in India. Twisted Metal will stream in India at the same time as in the USA, which will be 28th July in India, owing to the 12-hour time difference between the two countries.

Interestingly, Jio Cinema has a content deal with Peacock in India. But guess, Twisted Metal being Sony’s IP, the series has landed on SonyLIV in India.
Twisted Metal is set in a post-apocalyptic world, and centres on a talkative milkman with amnesia, who is tasked with delivering a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland in order to survive. Along the way he picks up a badass car thief, and has run-ins with a murderous clown. Anthony Mackie plays the milkman, John Doe. Will Arnett voices the iconic clown, Sweet Tooth, while wrestler Samoa Joe plays him physically. Neve Campbell plays the lady whose package John must deliver, while Stephanie Beatriz plays the car thief. Richard Cabral, Mike Mitchell, Tahj Vaughans and Lou Beatty Jr. play supporting roles in Twisted Metal.
Michael Jonathan Smith (Cobra Kai) is the showrunner and writer of the ten-part action comedy series. He has also executive produced the series, along with Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who are also credited with the story. Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions and Universal Television produce the series.
The official synopsis for ‘Twisted Metal’ reads – “A high-octane action comedy about a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.”
All ten episodes of Twisted Metal premiere in India on 28th July, on SonyLIV. Have a look at the trailer for the upcoming series –
