The partnership will also give viewers exclusive access to some of Sony Pictures’ most anticipated TV series, including “Twisted Metal,” a brand-new show adapted from the action-packed PlayStation video game of the same name. Additionally, subscribers will enjoy exclusive sneak previews and behind-the-scenes content that’s not available anywhere else.
