Eight episodes simply isn’t sufficient.
In the event you’ve been watching the debut season of HBO Max’s Peacemaker, you already know we’re talking true. James Gunn’s brilliantly deranged The Suicide Squad spinoff has managed to juggle an alien conspiracy plot, a kung fu revenge story, an over-the-top household thriller and an sometimes heart-wrenching take a look at the complexities of household relationships and obligations—and it’s all labored completely. The much-anticipated season finale premieres tomorrow (or late tonight, if you wish to get technical) and admittedly, the considered that being the tip was making us cry—er, break into some face-muscle workout routines.
So, we’re fairly ecstatic to listen to that the sequence has been renewed for a second season, as shared at present by each Gunn and Peacemaker himself, John Cena.

We’re certain all types of hypothesis about what season two will concentrate on will begin as quickly as everybody’s seen this week’s finale, however one factor we all know proper now’s that Gunn can be again, writing and directing all episodes of season two.
“Creating Peacemaker has been one of many true highlights of my life, each professionally and in any other case, with John Cena and the unimaginable inventive workforce round me, in addition to our companions at HBO Max,” he shared in at present’s announcement. “To have one thing all of us love a lot be cherished by the viewers in flip has been a beautiful expertise. I can’t wait for people to see the place Staff Peacemaker goes in Season Two!”
Cena will be again, as nicely. “I’m extremely honored and humbled by the response to Peacemaker and the expertise of taking part in this character,” he mentioned. “Thanks to James Gunn, Peter Safran, HBO Max, the crew and my castmates who labored tirelessly to make this unforgettable sequence.”
Gunn wrote all episodes of Peacemaker’s first season and directed 5 of them, so his promise to direct all of the season two episodes represents much more direct involvement for the filmmaker when the sequence returns. One other factor that’s clear is that when it does, Peacemaker won’t be in the identical place he was mentally and emotionally initially of season one. Whereas his outlook on life stays juvenile and he’ll by no means be the neatest superhero within the room, Christopher Smith has undoubtedly grown since his misguided actions on the finish of The Suicide Squad, and his present workforce has slowly turn into nearer and extra respectful of one another. It’ll be fascinating to see their collective story progress, together with no matter new DC characters may present up for Peacemaker’s subsequent go-round.
However what do you assume, DCTV followers? You hungry for a style of season two? (We all know the reply to that.) Tell us your ideas over within the DC Group!
