Peacemaker’s Return (Season 2): What We Know So Far
After blowing audiences away with its mix of outrageous comedy, explosive action, and surprisingly emotional depth, Peacemaker is officially returning for a second season (Peacemaker Season 2). Created by James Gunn and spinning off from The Suicide Squad, Season 1 gave us a deeper, messier look into the life of Christopher Smith — aka Peacemaker and fans have been eagerly waiting to see where his chaotic journey heads next.
Where We Left Off
Season 1 ended on a note as wild as the rest of the series. With Project Butterfly brought to a dramatic end, Peacemaker finds himself rethinking what he stands for. The team has gone their separate ways, Adebayo exposed Amanda Waller, and Vigilante…
well, he’s still delightfully unhinged. But Peacemaker isn’t done yet — and neither are the ghosts in his head (literally — remember his dad?).
When Is Peacemaker Season 2 Coming Out?
As of now, HBO Max hasn’t dropped an official release date but filming is expected to begin in late 2024. That puts Season 2’s premiere sometime in mid-to-late 2025 (Aug 21 2025), if everything stays on schedule.
James Gunn, now deep into his work with DC Studios, has confirmed that Peacemaker remains a priority and will tie more tightly into the evolving DC Universe.
What to Expect in Season 2
So what’s next for everyone’s favorite foul-mouthed antihero? Here’s what fans can likely look forward to:
- A More Grounded Peacemaker?
Christopher Smith might still be the guy who “loves peace so much he’d kill for it,” but Season 1 cracked open his emotional shell. In Season 2, we’re likely to see a more conflicted version of him — still violent, still awkward, but perhaps a little more aware of the cost of his actions.
- Eagly’s Still the MVP
Yes, he’s back. James Gunn has confirmed that Peacemaker’s loyal feathered friend will be returning. Expect more emotional support hugs and epic bird-assisted takedowns.
- New Villains, Bigger Threats
Season 1’s alien threat was unexpected. Season 2 may bring us something even bigger. There’s talk of a more “grounded but sinister” villain entering the picture, possibly tied to the corruption inside ARGUS or the larger DCU. Fans are also speculating a crossover with characters like The Authority or a new take on Checkmate.
Returning Cast of Peace Maker Season 2
- John Cena – Christopher Smith / Peacemaker
- Danielle Brooks – Leota Adebayo
- Freddie Stroma – Vigilante
- Jennifer Holland – Emilia Harcourt
- Steve Agee – John Economos
No official announcements have been made about new characters, but Gunn has teased some “weird, wild additions” coming to the cast.
Connection to the New DCU
Now that James Gunn is reshaping the DC Universe, expect Peacemaker Season 2 to tie more directly into the bigger narrative. With Superman: Legacy and other projects underway, there’s a strong chance Season 2 might plant seeds for future crossover events.
Final Thoughts:
Peacemaker Season 1 surprised everyone — not just with its over-the-top action and killer soundtrack, but with its heart. Season 2 looks like it’ll dive deeper, go wilder, and somehow be even more emotional. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the chaos, or just Eagly, the next season promises to deliver on all
fronts.
