Peacemaker Will Return August 21 — And The First Trailer Is Out
What’s with the extremely long wait between seasons of streaming shows? In the case of most of them, who knows, but in the case of Max’s Peacemaker, there’s a valid excuse: in between seasons 1 and 2, showrunner James Gunn was given the keys to the entire DC Cinematic Universe.
That task has kept him very busy, but it looks like he finally had time to deliver on the promise he made back in 2022: a second season of Peacemaker is on the way. And believe it or not, Gunn says it takes place in his new DC universe, despite the ending from the previous season where the Snyderverse Justice League made an appearance. Just forget that, I guess.
To hammer home this fact, the trailer for Season 2 begins with Peacemaker being interviewed by Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Isabel Merced as Hawkgirl and Sean Gunn (James’s brother) as Maxwell Lord. all actors confirmed to be appearing in the upcoming Superman movie. So there! Any doubt now?
Peacemaker Season 2 also ties in with Creature Commandos, the cartoon that appeared on Max last December (and where Sean Gunn voiced a robot and a weasel). In that series we met Rick Flagg Sr., voiced by Frank Grillo. Here he appears in the flesh, same actor, and bears a grudge against Peacemaker for the death of his son in The Suicide Squad (which was also written and directed by Gunn, and has the pre-Gunnverse Harley Quinn in it, but again, ignore that).
The surviving cast of Peacemaker Season 1 will return for Season 2, including John Cena as the title character, Freddie Stroma as Vigilante, Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Jennifer Holland as Agent Emilia Harcourt, Steve Agee as Economos, Nhut Le as Judomaster, and Eagly as himself. The helmeted man returns August 21.
