‘Twisters’ Announces Premiere Date on Peacock Streaming Service

Universal Pictures’ "Twisters" is set to make its exclusive streaming debut on Peacock starting November 15, following its successful run at the global box office, where it amassed over $370 million. This film serves as a sequel to the 1996 classic disaster movie "Twister," directed by Jan de Bont. "Twisters" brings together director Lee Isaac Chung, known for "Minari," with stars Daisy Edgar-Jones from "Where The Crawdads Sing" and Glen Powell from "Anyone But You."

The storyline of "Twisters" revolves around Kate, portrayed by Daisy Edgar-Jones, who has abandoned her storm-chasing pursuits on the Oklahoma plains after a harrowing tornado experience. She now studies storms from the safety of New York City screens. However, Kate is drawn back into storm chasing by her friend Javi, played by Anthony Ramos, and a unique scientific opportunity. In the course of her return, she encounters Tyler, played by Glen Powell, a charismatic daredevil and self-proclaimed tornado wrangler who has gained fame on social media for his adventurous tornado-tracking escapades.

As the storm season escalates with unprecedented and terrifying phenomena, Kate and Tyler find themselves facing challenges unlike any they have encountered before. They realize that they must collaborate if they are to have any chance of managing and surviving an extraordinary outbreak of destructive tornadoes.

The film, executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, Thomas Hayslip, and Ashley Jay Sandberg, boasts a talented ensemble cast including Brandon Perea, David Corenswet, Maura Tierney, Sasha Lane, and more. Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley served as producers, with the script penned by Mark L. Smith, based on a story by Joseph Kosinski of "Top Gun: Maverick," which in turn drew inspiration from characters created by Michael Crichton and Anne-Marie Martin. "Twisters" initially premiered in theaters via Universal on July 19, before heading to Peacock for its streaming debut.

With its star-studded cast, thrilling storyline, and high-octane action sequences, "Twisters" promises to deliver an adrenaline-fueled viewing experience for audiences as it makes its way to Peacock this November. Fans of disaster movies and action-packed adventures are sure to be on the edge of their seats as they witness Kate and Tyler navigate through the stormy chaos in this highly anticipated sequel.
