James Gunn's New DCU Is About To Change Forever
Briefly

Peacemaker returns for an eight-episode second season positioned within the rebooted DC Universe after a retcon and a cameo in Superman. The character transitions from the Snyderverse amid continuity reshuffling while the season aims to bridge elements of the old regime and the new franchise direction. Episodes will stream Thursdays at 9:00 pm ET beginning August 21, with weekly releases through an October 9 finale on HBO Max. The official trailer teases interdimensional shenanigans, strengthened friendships, and abundant bloodshed. The season pulls plot points from The Suicide Squad and the first Peacemaker season.
The DC Universe has been reborn, and Peacemaker with it. Just a few months after James Gunn unveiled his new vision for the franchise with , John Cena's peace-loving vigilante is returning for a new adventure. While he was technically part of the Snyderverse, a little retconning (and a surprising cameo in Superman) has transported him to the DCU. It hasn't been the cleanest transition, but here's hoping the new season of Peacemaker will take that messiness in stride.
With Gunn's franchise reboot still in its infancy, Peacemaker may be the most important piece of the puzzle, as the eight-episode season could go a long way in connecting the dots between the old regime and the new. How it will connect to Superman, or other DC projects Gunn has planned, remains to be seen, but here's everything we do know about Peacemaker Season 2.
