In the second season of the series, based onthe cult series of video games about combat vehicleswill finally reach the main event — the death tournament organized by Calypso. It is this part that is most closely related to the original game, and the trailer hints that there will be madness, explosions, and outright meat.
The plot will continue the events of the season 1 finale. John Doe (Anthony Mackie) is now participating in a competition organized by Calypso (Anthony Carrigan) — a demonic entity capable of fulfilling any wish of the winner. But, just like in the game, this wish usually turns against the one who voiced it and with a bit of cruel irony.
Meanwhile, Kwait (Stephanie Beatrice) has fallen into the hands of a mysterious group of masked women led by her sister — Doll (Tiana Okoye). Obviously, the plot will again develop in parallel lines with a lot of absurdity, humor and fights on wheels. The trailer also showed a new character — Axel (Michael James Shaw). He is a man who literally turns into his car. Sweet Tooth, played by Joe Sinoa and voiced by Will Arnett, is also back, and he’s as irrepressible as ever. The fight scenes are classic: shooting, melee, blood, madness, massive explosions.
