Stephanie Beatriz, best know for her role as Rosa Diaz on NBC’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine, will join Anthony Mackie in the live-action direct-to-series show Twisted Metal on NBC’s Peacock streaming service.

I’ve played the Twisted Metal games on Playstation, I’m still wondering how they’re going to take this wild game series, give it a narrative story while also bringing in the action, destruction, and car chases from the games to life.

We shall see.

The Brooklyn Nine-Nine alum has signed on as a lead opposite Anthony Mackie in Peacock’s Twisted Metal.

The action comedy, ordered straight to series in February, is based on the beloved PlayStation video game of the same name. The half-hour, live-action series revolves around a motor-mouthed outsider who is 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 trigger-happy 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.

Beatriz will play Quiet, a ferocious, bad-ass car thief who acts purely on instinct. Coming from a community that oppressed her into silence, Quiet wishes to find her place in this dark, chaotic world. But when she becomes clouded by her need for revenge, Quiet forms an unlikely, antagonistic bond with John Doe (Mackie).
