Neve Campbell’s expanded role in The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 is certainly a reason to get excited, but I’m far more interested in her future on one Peacock TV show. Actress Neve Campbell is a hot commodity as an actor because of her legacy as the scream queen, Sidney Prescott, in the Scream films. The actress has appeared in many great shows in the past 34 years. One of her most exciting projects in recent years is her role as Maggie McPherson in The Lincoln Lawyer. Maggie is the prosecutor ex-wife of defense attorney Mickey Haller. She quickly solidified herself as a fan favorite in season 1.
Unfortunately, her presence decreased in season 2, and she only appeared in season 3. However, things took a turn for the better when Netflix and the creative team behind the show announced, alongside the show’s renewal, that Neve Campbell would have a bigger role in The Lincoln Lawyer season 4, appearing in all 10 episodes. Even though I’m looking forward to seeing Maggie in the upcoming season, I’m more pumped about her possible future on the Peacok TV show Twisted Metal.
Neve Campbell’s Bigger Role In The Lincoln Lawyer Is Exciting, But I’m More Curious About Her Future In Twisted Metal
Neve Campbell’s Twisted Metal Role Offers More Surprises Than Her Lincoln Lawyer Role
When it comes to Neve Campell’s full-time return in The Lincoln Lawyer, I feel moderately excited. However, I know what to expect from her character. She’s appeared in enough episodes for me to have an idea of how she’ll act throughout season 4. Maybe she’ll surprise me by becoming more sympathetic to Mickey’s job as a defense attorney, but it doesn’t seem likely.
On the other hand, Neve Campbell’s Raven only appeared in two episodes of Twisted Metal. She solidified herself as a formidable villain. Raven has the ability to be menacing while also extremely calm – an unnerving combination. However, there’s still so much to explore when it comes to the leader of New San Fransisco, who has enough power to hire a fake husband, borrow a baby, and manipulate citizens to be friends with John Doe.
I think Neve Campbell’s Twisted Metal character also shows more of her acting diversity than her The Lincoln Lawyer character. She’s already played the competent do-gooder like Maggie in House of Cards. However, her Twisted Metal role feels new. The actress is known as Sidney Prescott, a scream queen, and her role as Raven shows her ability to act as a psychologically twisted villain.
Is Neve Campbell Returning For Twisted Metal Season 2?
Neve Campbell Hasn’t Been Officially Confirmed For Twisted Metal Season 2
Looking at the Peacock show, Twisted Metal season 1 sets up Neve Campbell’s return. However, there’s no concrete answer, as of the time of writing, about whether Neve Campbell will appear in Twisted Metal season 2, as the media has given conflicting reports. Neve Campbell allegedly told the ScreamQueens Podcast at a convention that she wouldn’t return for Twisted Metal season 2, per this tweet. They state in the comments section that Neve Campbell said Twisted Metal couldn’t afford to bring her back. However, I couldn’t verify the veracity of this information.
Additionally, many publications have stated she’s returning to the show. Her IMDb also lists Twisted Metal as one of her upcoming projects, with the details stating she’ll appear in season 2, episode 1. Mind you, this wouldn’t be the first time that online publications and IMDb got information wrong. Ultimately, we’ll all just have to wait for Twisted Metal season 2 to release in the summer of 2025 to see for sure, unless she or the showrunners provide a concrete, verified statement in the meantime.
Why Neve Campbell Deserves A Bigger Role In Twisted Metal
There’s More To Learn About Neve Campbell’s Raven in Twisted Metal Season 2
Twisted Metal season 2 will introduce the game character Raven; at least, it appears that way. Given the fact that Neve Campbell’s Raven had many traits of the game character, many questions naturally come up about how they’re connected and why they share so many traits. Some fans have speculated that the new character is the daughter of Neve Campbell’s Raven or that she’s a younger version of the character transformed by supernatural forces – which will be present in Twisted Metal season 2. We need Neve Campbell to return so we can get an answer about the situation.
Moreover, there’s still a lot to show about Raven’s backstory, her control over New San Francisco, and her connection with Calypso. The latter topic is particularly fascinating because of the fan theory that Raven could be Calypso in disguise. That doesn’t appear to be the case after the end of Twisted Metal season 1, which shows them as being in two different locations. As such, it would be fun to see the two villains interacting. Ultimately, Neve Campbell should return and have a bigger role in Twisted Metal season 2, giving us answers to our burning questions.
