Two Twisted is an Australian mystery anthology television drama that debuted on the Nine Network on 14 August 2006. The series is narrated by Bryan Brown, who also served as producer for its predecessor, Twisted Tales. Each installment consists of two separate half-hour narratives, each concluding with an unexpected twist, united by a shared motif.
This production employed an innovative approach by inviting submissions from emerging scriptwriters, receiving approximately 2,400 entries and narrowing these down to 14 finalists. Directors were selected from a mix of seasoned professionals and newcomers. Filming for every episode spanned four days, followed by an additional four days dedicated to post-production editing.
