I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be following along as DC Studios brings back Peacemaker for a second season! This action-packed superhero series featuring the talented John Cena will debut on August 21 at 9 PM ET/PT exclusively on HBO Max. Each new episode will drop weekly, keeping us all hooked! The official trailer for Peacemaker Season 2 was unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con on July 26, where creator James Gunn and the cast, including our lead star John Cena, were present to give us a sneak peek.
The debut of the latest trailer commences with “Road to Nowhere” by Ozzy Osbourne playing, and it depicts Peacemaker entering a gateway to another realm. This action unleashes significant turmoil across dimensions, establishing a foreboding atmosphere for the forthcoming season.
Cast and new characters in Peacemaker Season 2
In the new chapter of Peacemaker, John Cena once again takes on the character he initially portrayed in The Suicide Squad, known as Christopher Smith or “Peacemaker.” Joining him are familiar faces from previous seasons.
- Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt
- Steve Agee as John Economos
- Freddie Stroma as Vigilante
- Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr.
- Sol Rodríguez as Sasha Bordeaux
- Tim Meadows in a supporting role
During the unveiling of the trailer, Jennifer Holland shared that she executes a lift similar to the iconic one from Dirty Dancing in the opening credit sequence, according to Variety’s report.
Here’s how Peacemaker Season 2 connects to James Gunn’s Superman
In natural and easy-to-understand language: James Gunn’s Superman and Peacemaker’s Season 2 are both set within the latest version of the DC Universe. At the end of Superman, Peacemaker makes a short appearance during the credits, making fun of the Kryptonian on a talk show by implying he had always suspected something was unusual about him.
In the latest information from IGN, Frank Grillo’s character, Rick Flag Senior, has been promoted to a US General and heads ARGUS (Advanced Research Group Units Support). Originally appearing in Creature Commandos, he can also be seen in the trailers for Superman and Peacemaker. In these upcoming productions, his focus shifts to seeking vengeance for the death of his son, Rick Flag Junior.
In the sequel of Peacemaker, you’ll find The Justice Gang, a squad first seen in Superman, which is headed by Maxwell Lord. As reported by ScreenRant, Peacemaker makes an attempt to be part of this team, but his application is turned down. This rejection hints at his longing for redemption and belonging.
At SDCC 2025, James Gunn shared that Season 2 of Peacemaker delves into topics such as forgiveness, personal connections, and overcoming past hardships. The character Peacemaker is grappling with the loss of Rick Flag Jr. and the specter of his father, Auggie, who made an appearance in Season 1, continuing to haunt him.
In addition, there could be a romantic subplot developing. Gunn subtly suggested a deepening bond between Peacemaker and Harcourt from Season 1 onwards. Furthermore, the character of Sol Rodríguez’s Sasha Bordeaux brings fresh interactions, but her connection to Batman remains ambiguous.
