As a dedicated follower of all things DC, I can confidently say that the wait for Peacemaker Season 2 has been a rollercoaster ride, much like my life itself – filled with twists, turns, and unexpected delays. The news about HBO Max becoming just Max, and James Gunn and Peter Saffron taking over DC Studios, while exciting, only added to the anticipation.
Last time John Cena appeared as Christopher Smith/Peacemaker, HBO Max was still a thing, Russia had invaded Ukraine, Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, and Walter Hamada led DC Films. More than two and a half years have passed since then, and there have been significant changes. Now, HBO Max is simply known as Max, while James Gunn and Peter Saffron are jointly in charge of DC Studios. Yet, we’re still anticipating Season 2 of Peacemaker, with John Cena discussing the delays and the hurdles the series has encountered since then.
Inquiring about the delay, reporters grilled Cena regarding the lengthy production timeline for Season 2 of Peacemaker. Although the show has been scheduled to air sometime in 2025, no specific date has been set. The actor explains that this strategy is intentional, aiming to ensure the series achieves the same level of success as its predecessor.
“What you got to understand and keep in mind is I’m the guy who plays Peacemaker. So when we come out with a show and it’s the No. 1 show on Max and, finally, we take a character who is supposed to be dead, bring Peacemaker back to life, and people enjoy the universe and want to see more of it — but then you have a shift in the structure of who is calling the shots over at DC. James and Peter actually both called me and said, ‘You know what, we want to take some time to do this right. But it’s just going to take a little time.'”
As a dedicated movie critic, I must share that the anticipated arrival of Peacemaker Season 2 has been delayed due to James Gunn’s upcoming blockbuster, Superman. This highly-anticipated film is set to grace our screens on July 11, 2025. Given that the narrative in Cena’s show unfolds post the new DCU movie, it makes sense that once Gunn completes work on his latest project, he can devote full attention to Peacemaker. Since Superman doesn’t premiere until July, I would expect that we might not catch a glimpse of Peacemaker Season 2 until late summer or early fall 2025.
Peacemaker Season 1 Is No Longer Canon In Gunn’s New DCU
Under the new leadership of Gunn in DC Studios, several adjustments have been made with the aim of enhancing things for the best. It’s common knowledge that the DC Extended Universe faced numerous challenges from the outset, including fits and starts, as well as delays. At one point, even Gunn himself acknowledged that Warner Bros. was handing out intellectual properties like party favors to anyone who seemed appealing to them.
In the creative universe of Peacemaker, the events from Season 1 might not hold true anymore in James Gunn’s innovative vision, implying they won’t influence the storyline as it unfolds further. However, Season 2 will likely continue directly from the ending of Season 1, but with a potential time leap to align with Superman-related events. Navigating this complexity is challenging, but we have faith that Gunn will eventually tie everything together coherently.
Speaking as a fellow movie enthusiast, I’m excited to share some insights on the upcoming Season 2 of “Peacemaker”. While I can’t reveal too much for fear of any spoiler alarms going off, let me assure you that things are moving along quite nicely. As they say in Hollywood, we’re ‘in production’, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it all goes smoothly so everyone who’s eagerly awaiting it can enjoy the final product. Trust me, I’m just as excited as you are!
2025 will see the premiere of Season 2 of Peacemaker, however, if you can’t wait that long, you can stream Season 1 on Max right now.
