The thrilling new "Twisted Metal" Season 2 trailer has dropped, and with it, the full episode release schedule.

As you can see below, the trailer gives us our best look yet at Anthony Carrigan's devious host Calypso, as well as a flaming Sweet Tooth, and plenty of stylish violence (like a nasty dropkick through a window).

Showrunner Michael John Smith says of "Twisted Metal" Season 2 in a statement: "The stakes couldn't be higher as John Doe and Quiet risk their lives to compete in a dangerous demolition derby tournament. The prize? A single wish, their greatest heart's desire, granted. The only problem is 16 other drivers have wishes of their own."
