The highly anticipated second season of Peacemaker will premiere on Max on August 21 2025, accompanying the announcement comes a brand-new trailer featuring familiar faces and exciting new cameos.
The trailer kicks off with John Cena’s character, Peacemaker/Chris, being interrogated by Justice League members Guy Gardner (Green Lantern), Hawkgirl, and Maxwell Lord. During the exchange, Peacemaker boasts about his skills, claiming to be “the finest marksman in the world” and proficient in hand-to-hand combat. However, his bravado is met with skepticism from the team, with Green Lantern remarking, “This guy sucks.” This interaction sets the tone for the comedic and action-packed season ahead.
Season 2 continues the story of Christopher “Chris” Smith (Peacemaker) as he grapples with his past while embracing his role as a misguided vigilante. The new season will see Chris continuing his quest for peace by taking down wrongdoers, albeit in his unique, often destructive way.
Returning cast members include Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick. New faces in Season 2 include Frank Grillo, David Denman, Sol Rodriguez, and Tim Meadows. The season consists of eight episodes, all written by James Gunn, who also directed three, including the season premiere.
The show is part of Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe, which began with Creature Commandos and will continue with Superman. The inclusion of Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner and Isabel Merced’s Hawkgirl sets up ties to future DC projects, including Superman.
Peacemaker Season 2 will stream on Max starting at 9 p.m. ET/PT on August 21.
