‘Peacemaker’ Renewed for Season 2 at HBO Max

Peacemaker will be keeping the peace — or rather chaos — going at HBO Max as the streamer announced the DC series will return for a second season.

The renewal comes ahead of the show’s Season 1 finale which is set to drop Thursday, February 17 on HBO Max. From writer and director James Gunn and starring John Cena, Peacemaker‘s second season will be written and directed entirely by Gunn who previously teamed with Cena on the 2021 feature film The Suicide Squad which introduced the titular character.

Peacemaker follows the escapades of Cena’s character who is so determined to create peace, he’ll kill as many people as he needs to in order to get it.

“Creating Peacemaker has been one of the true highlights of my life, both professionally and otherwise, with John Cena and the incredible creative team around me, as well as our partners at HBO Max,” shared Gunn in a statement. “To have something we all love so much be loved by the audience in turn has been a wonderful experience. I can’t wait for folks to see where Team Peacemaker goes in Season Two!”
