Peacemaker season 2 US release date finally confirmed by James Gunn
It won't be long before John Cena is back in costume.
DC boss James Gunn had already told us that Peacemaker season 2 would arrive in August, but now he has confirmed exactly when – and what to expect.
Season 1 saw John Cena don the rather ridiculous Peacemaker costume after the character's iconic debut in Gunn's The Suicide Squad.
The acclaimed series saw the anti-hero come to terms with his dark past, and begin to understand that perhaps his willingness to kill as many men, women and children as is necessary in the name of peace wasn't so peaceful after all.
Season 2 is likely to put his newfound understanding of empathy to the test, however, and Gunn took to X to announce when it will land.
"Counting the days until Peace on Earth. I just finished the DI & Mix on the Season Premiere yesterday and wow it’s one of my favorite things ever," he wrote, before confirming the season would drop on HBO Max in the US on Thursday 21st August 2025.
Gunn also shared a snippet of footage from the upcoming season, including of Danielle Brooks's Leota Adebayo reminding him that he's a superhero now, and of Jennifer Holland's Agent Emilia Harcourt about to kick some ass.
As for the UK, no date has been confirmed yet but the season is likely to air on Sky Max and NOW, just like season 1 did.
A full trailer is likely to follow in the coming weeks.
