‘Peacemaker,’ created by James Gunn, follows the titular anti-hero in the aftermath of Project Starfish as he is given to a new team of ARGUS Agents by Amanda Waller. Peacemaker’s current assignment is dealing with an alien invasion that threatens humanity as a whole. While working on the mission, Peacemaker forges new ties and overcomes his flaws.

The superhero series takes place in the ‘DCEU’ franchise and is a prequel to the 2021 blockbuster ‘The Suicide Squad.’ It is based on characters from the pages of DC Comics and has earned positive reviews from critics. With the first season concluding Peacemaker’s redemption storyline, we’re sure audiences are eager for further adventures with Peacemaker and the gang. In that case, here’s everything we know about season 2 of ‘Peacemaker’!

Release Date for Peacemaker Season 2

Season 1 of ‘Peacemaker’ began on HBO Max on January 13, 2022. The first season consists of eight episodes, each lasting 39–46 minutes. The first three episodes were released concurrently on the above-mentioned date, while the other episodes were issued regularly. The season finale will be released on February 17, 2022. Critics complimented the bright visual aesthetic, screenplay, characters, and performances, and it earned favourable reviews.

In terms of a sequel, fans of the show will be pleased to learn that the series will return for season 2! The series was officially renewed for a second season by HBO Max on February 16, 2022, one day before the first season finale. The show’s creator and showrunner, James Gunn, is scheduled to pen all episodes and resume directing duties. Gunn took to Twitter to share the season 2 news with fans, expressing his excitement for the continuation of Peacemaker’s tale.

That’s right, #Peacemaker is coming back for Season Two. Thanks to Peter Safran, @JohnCena, our incredible cast & crew, our wildly supportive & lovely friends at @HBOMax – and mostly all of you for watching! @DCpeacemaker pic.twitter.com/wZSZBivrDQ

Although the series has been renewed for a second season, work on the new instalment has yet to begin because Gunn is preoccupied with the production of Marvel Studios’ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.’ For the Disney-backed firm, Gunn is also directing ‘The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.’ Both projects are planned to be completed by April 2022.

Furthermore, Gunn has declared a desire to take a vacation from work after completing the aforementioned projects. As a result, it’s impossible to imagine work on the second season of ‘Peacemaker’ starting anytime soon. However, if production begins before the end of the year, ‘Peacemaker’ season 2 will be released in early 2023.

Who Could Be in Peacemaker Season 2?

‘Peacemaker,’ starring John Cena as Christopher Smith/Peacemaker. ARGUS Agents Emilia Harcourt, John Economos, and Leota Adebayo are played by Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, and Danielle Brooks. Clemson Murn, played by Chukwudi Iwuji, is a mercenary who commands the Project Butterfly team and reports to Amanda Waller.

August “Auggie” Smith/White Dragon is played by Robert Patrick, and Adrian Chase/Vigilante is played by Freddie Stroma. In recurrent roles are Christopher Heyerdahl (Captain Locke), Nhut Le (Judomaster), Lochlyn Munro (Larry Fitzgibbon), and Annie Chang (Sophie Song). Dee Bradley Baker also plays Eagly, Peacemaker’s pet eagle.

The majority of the key cast members, including Patrick, are expected to return for season 2 of ‘Peacemaker.’ Despite his terrible fate, it appears August Smith will remain a part of Peacemaker’s path through flashbacks and visions. Iwuji, Munro, and Chang, on the other hand, are unlikely to return due to their deaths in season 1. Season 2’s cast is also anticipated to include a few fresh faces.

What is the plot of Peacemaker Season 2?

In the first season of ‘Peacemaker,’ Christopher Smith/Peacemaker collaborates on Project Butterfly with Harcourt, Economos, and Adebayo. The squad attempts to prevent the Butterflies, an alien race, from conquering the Earth. Peacemaker kills the Cow, an alien who was the Butterflies’ only food supply, in the season finale. Finally, Adebayo reveals ARGUS’s secrets to the media, while Peacemaker has a vision of his deceased father.

The second season may begin some time after the first and rejoin us with Peacemaker, who has most likely earned a reputation as a hero. He and Vigilante might be street-level heroes combating local crime. However, with the Queen Butterfly still alive and the Judomaster dedicated to the aliens’ cause, the species may be able to make a comeback. With fresh threats on the horizon, the crew will be forced to reconvene and save the world once more while listening to hard rock music and building new connections along the way.
