A Thousand Blows returns for its second season darker, bruised, and more inward-looking than before, and when Steven Knight and Malachi Kirby sat down with Kyle Meredith, it was clear that shift was intentional. The Disney+ series, set in the brutal underbelly of 1880s London, picks up with its characters stripped of bravado and fighting to survive the consequences of Season 1.
So much has happened to the DC Universe since Peacemaker was last on HBO Max. In the time since, James Gunn rose to become overlord of all of DC Studios. A terrible Flash movie here, an acclaimed Superman reboot there. Peacemaker returns when the DCU has been born anewand quite fittingly, Christopher Smith (John Cena, reliably excellent) feels cast out in this universe. So it stands to reason he'll go somewhere where he's actually appreciated. Wouldn't you?
