“Peacemaker” is back on August 21—and it looks wilder, weirder, and more emotional than ever. The new trailer, unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con, gives us a glimpse into Season 2’s biggest twist: a mysterious portal that launches Christopher Smith (John Cena) into a bizarre alternate dimension. It may seem like a fresh start—but trouble, of course, is never far behind.
“Peacemaker” Season 2 Background
This season explores more than just multiverse madness. Showrunner James Gunn promises real character growth for “Peacemaker” as he reckons with the fallout from Season 1 and struggles to find his place in the world. Expect more personal stakes, tough choices, and emotional moments—mixed in with the show’s trademark absurdity and brutal action.
Returning favorites like Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) and Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) are back in the mix, while new cast members, including Sol Rodriguez and Tim Meadows, shake things up. And yes—there’s a brand-new dance number in the opening credits, with a cheeky nod to Dirty Dancing that fans will love.
Season 2 also links directly to Gunn’s upcoming Superman film, signaling a tighter DC Universe going forward. Characters from that movie will show up here, adding another layer of excitement for fans following the bigger picture.
With new dimensions, new faces, and higher emotional stakes, “Peacemaker” Season 2 is shaping up to be more than just a continuation—it’s a bold evolution of a show that’s never played by the rules. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the action, or “Peacemaker’s” slow path to redemption, this season is one ride you won’t want to miss. “Peacemaker” is streaming on HBO Max.
