Peacemaker season 2 premieres August 2025 on HBO Max

Peacemaker is returning for a second season this summer. Star Danielle Brooks shared her excitement about the show and its future under James Gunn's leadership in the DC Universe. Brooks described Peacemaker as feeling like "the cool kid" in the DC lineup. The show survived the shift from the older DCEU to the new DCU. She noted that the first season premiered during the pandemic without typical promotional events, yet fans embraced it. With Gunn now in charge, Brooks feels optimistic about what’s next for the series. She compares the current excitement to her experience with another project, Orange Is the New Black. Peacemaker was one of Gunn's first major projects in the DCU, and she is eager to see how it evolves. Peacemaker season 2 will feature returning cast members and new faces, including Tim Meadows, Sol Rodriguez, David Denman, and Frank Grillo. The show is based on a DC comic character and follows Christopher Smith, played by John Cena, as he battles evil forces. Fans can expect the new season on HBO Max in the US and Sky in the UK in August 2025. The anticipation surrounding the show is high, especially after the success of its first season.
