Bio: David Reed is a WGA Award-nominated writer, director, and producer from the middle of nowhere, Wisconsin. Currently a writer and executive producer on Prime Video’s hit series “The Boys,” he’s also written for “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” “The Magicians,” “Aquarius,” “Revolution” and “Supernatural.” Reed has sold pilots to BBC Worldwide, CBS, Tomorrow Studios, and FX, and is currently under an overall TV deal at Sony Pictures Television. Reed got his start as the writers’ assistant on “Battlestar Galactica” while writing low-budget creature features for SYFY. In addition to his TV work, he’s also written novels, comic books, and video games, and has a passion for the intersection of new technology and entertainment. He divides his time between Los Angeles and rural Wisconsin with his wife, Mairin (also a writer), their three sons, and very rambunctious Golden Retriever, Phoebe Waffles-Bridge.
Michael Jonathan Smith will be concluding his involvement as showrunner and executive producer.
The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
“Twisted Metal” stars Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, Joe Seanoa and Will Arnett.
