Based on the classic PlayStation game series, the new live-action tv series, Twisted Metal, comes to Peacock starting today. The action comedy stars Anthony Mackie as John Doe, who is given the task of driving a package across the post-apocalyptic wasteland in exchange for the chance at a better life. Along the way he meets Quiet, played by Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Encanto), when she tries to steal his car, and they must work together when they encounter other dangers on the road, including a psycho clown killer who drives an ice cream truck (Joe Seanoa). 

Recently, star Beatriz spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the series, including her familiarity with the game, Quiet’s antagonistic relationship with Doe, working with Mackie on the series, the difficulties in not using her voice for many of the scenes, and more.

Freeform’s hotly anticipated animated series Praise Petey premieres tonight on Freeform. The new show stars Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek) as Petey, an “it” girl whose well-curated life comes crashing down, forcing her to take on a new challenge and learn what it truly means to be a leader. 

Prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike, Murphy chatted with journalists about the quirky new series and its hilarious premise.

“When we meet Petey,” Murphy told SciFi Vision, “she's a real New Yorker, a real city girl who thinks she has it all figured out. But unfortunately, she loses her job, her apartment burns down, she breaks up with her boyfriend, and her dead dad bestows a cult upon her. So, she has to move from New York to the south and try to figure out how to be the leader of a cult with no previous experience.”

What Murphy loves most is creator/writer/EP Anna Drezen (Saturday Night Live)’s no-holds-barred approach. “It's so uncensored and so outrageous. It's very, very funny,” she enthused, “but it's also a very smart show, and it's touching on a lot of different relevant themes. So, I think if you have a quirkier sensibility, then this show is going to be very, very, very up your alley.”

The series also stars Jamie Bamber as international conman Harry King who teams up with Camille to solve crimes (regardless of whether she wants the help) and may have information that could exonerate her father. Their chemistry becomes complicated by Camille’s colleague Lea Robert (Tamara Marthe), who has a secret crush on Camille.

Bamber recently spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the series, which is now available to stream on Acorn TV.

Tomorrow, the second season finale of From arrives on MGM Plus. At the end of the most recent episode, Julie (Hannah Cheramy), Randall (A.J. Simmons), and Marielle (Kaelen Ohm) were attacked by cicadas that no one else could see, perhaps being what the nursery rhyme that appeared in a few characters’ nightmares foretold: “here they come; they come for three.” In the season finale, the town struggles to figure out the nursery rhyme and how to stop the “melody” to potentially save them.

Scott McCord plays the character of Victor on the series, a peculiar resident who has been in the town since he was a boy. Recently quite a lot was revealed about his childhood, and it seems that his past may play an important role in what’s to come.

Earlier in the week, McCord spoke with SciFi Vision about Victor, including crafting the character’s regression, playing someone who experienced such trauma, where Victor’s drawings actually come from, some of the challenges of not knowing what’s coming, what might be coming in the season finale, and more.

Tomorrow, the season finale of FROM comes to MGM Plus. In the previous episode, three members of the town, Julie (Hannah Cheramy), Randall (A.J. Simmons), and Marielle (Kaelen Ohm) were attacked by cicadas that no one else could see, and their fates were left up in the air. In the season finale, the town must come together to figure out how to “stop the melody” and what that even means, if they hope to save everyone. 

Elizabeth Saunders stars as Donna, the no-nonsense leader of Colony House, who is always trying to protect people, whether they truly deserve it or not. 

Earlier in the week, Saunders talked with SciFi Vision about her work on the show, including why she feels the character is so selfless, the possibility of Donna being a mole and other theories, the potential for season three, and more.

The Tower recently returned to Britbox with the second installment, The Tower 2: Death Message. In the second season, which is based on the second novel in Kate London’s best-selling series, following the events in season one, rookie Police Constable Lizzie Adama (Tahirah Sharif) returns to work at the station and finds herself in the middle of a domestic dispute involving a mother and young daughter in danger of domestic abuse that she fights to protect. Meanwhile, Detective Sergeant Sarah Collins (Gemma Whelan) does get the transfer to Homicide Command she wanted, but she is unexpectedly given a cold case involving a missing schoolgirl. The investigation leads Sarah to cross paths with Lizzie again, and they must put aside the past to work together.

Recently, London, who also serves as executive producer, as well as executive producer Patrick Harbinson, spoke about season two with SciFi Vision about how the events of season one are still effecting the characters, how much of London’s real-life experience as a police officer is in the story and how much of herself she put into it, how much control she had over the television series, the hardest part of the books to bring to life on television, and much more.

Tonight, the new spinoff, The Walking Dead: Dead City, premieres on AMC. The series follows Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as they venture into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan that has been cut off from the mainland, hatching a plan to rescue Maggie’s son, Hershel (Logan Kim), who has been kidnapped by The Croat, (Željko Ivanek), an evil man who Negan has dealt with before. Meanwhile, the two must also stay ahead of the marshal, Armstrong (Gaius Charles), who is trying to bring Negan to justice for crimes he has committed.

Ivanek and Charles, along with Mahina Napoleon, who plays the character of Ginny, recently spoke with the media about the new series.

Both Ivanek and Charles’ characters serve as adversaries for the heroes of the story. Charles views Armstrong as an obstacle mostly for Negan. “I want to bring him to justice for something,” the actor told SciFi Vision. “I think anybody that's watched the show really resonates with season seven, [with] Glenn (Steven Yeun) [and] a lot of the other stuff he's done. He's got a long rap sheet. I think it's cool that we're using law and order to try to reestablish this world, and that becomes a huge obstacle for Negan and for a lot of people in this world where right and wrong isn't clear.”

“I think for my character, The Croat, [he’s] being pulled back into a world that he left,” said Ivanek. “…I think that's the last thing he wants to do, unfortunately.”

“I think that Ginny brings out a different point of view for fans and a different side of Negan and Maggie,” added Napoleon. “So, I think Ginny creates this whole different perspective, because normally fans think that Maggie is the hero and Negan is a villain, but I think that Ginny brings a totally opposite, different perspective.”

Outlander recently returned to STARZ with all-new episodes for season seven. Picking up where the last season ended, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Ian (John Bell) rush to stop Claire (Caitríona Balfe) from being tried and wrongfully convicted of the murder of Malva Christie (Jessica Reynolds) and her unborn child. To make things even more difficult, the American Revolution has begun, and they will have to navigate the hazards of the war and leave their home in North Carolina behind. As they are drawn into the war, Jamie, Claire, Brianna (Sophie Skelton), and Roger (Richard Rankin) will be faced with decisions and hardships that could pull the family apart for good.

Bell, along with David Berry, who returns as Lord John Grey, and newcomers Charles Vandervaart, who plays Jamie’s son William, and Joey Phillips and Izzy Meikle-Small, who play Denzell and Rachel Hunter, respectively, as well as executive producer, Maril Davis, recently spoke with SciFi Vision about what’s to come in season seven.
