On Thursday, July 20, Peacock and Sony Pictures Television will send Sweet Tooth’s infamous ice cream truck to the corner of J Street and First Ave. Fans are invited to stop by for a free serving of an exclusiveTwisted Metalice cream flavor created by Salt & Straw. At 5 p.m., there will be a “surprise musical performance” at the ice cream truck.

Also on Thursday, Peacock will host the world premiere ofTwisted Metalat 10 p.m. in Room 6DE. Following the episode, the attendees will get a chance to play aTwisted Metaltrivia game based on Kinda Funny’s interactive game,Kinda Feudy. Following the end of Comic-Con, Peacock and Sony will send Sweet Tooth’s ice cream truck out for additional promotional appearances in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Des Moines, Iowa.Twisted Metalwill premiere on Peacock on July 27.
On Friday, July 21, fans can go to Ballroom 20 at 3 p.m. for a first look atThe Continental: From the World of John Wick. It’s unclear if Peacock will stream the entire first episode of the three-episode miniseries, but the original plan to bring the cast and series creators just wasn’t feasible during the actors’ and writers’ strikes.
The Continental: From the World of John Wickwill premiere on Peacock in September.
