As a seasoned gamer who’s seen more than a few plot twists and cliffhangers, I can confidently say that the wait for Peacemaker Season 2 has been a rollercoaster ride! After the tantalizing teaser released in Max’s 2025 promo, it seems like James Gunn and his team are still pushing through the production grind with a stressed-out Stewie-like energy. But hey, if anyone can handle the pressure, it’s our boy John Cena!

After much anticipation and some challenging setbacks, fans of “Peacemaker” can now enjoy a brief sneak peek at the upcoming season two airing on HBO and Max. The enticing footage, featured in Max’s 2025 promotional trailer, offers glimpses of John Cena and other characters. In response to questions about whether the eagerly awaited series had finished production, its creator James Gunn shared a “stressed out” GIF on Instagram. Based on the DC Comics character Christopher Smith, “Peacemaker” is a spin-off from the 2021 film “The Suicide Squad”, delving into the storyline post-film events, focusing on pacifist diplomat Smith as he teams up with A.R.G.U.S.’s black ops squad to hunt and eliminate butterfly-like creatures who have turned Earth into their playground.

Fans of Cena have been eagerly waiting for season two of “Peacemaker” since its first season ended in February 2022. Even though James Gunn hinted that the series would come out after Superman in 2025, he recently posted a promo teaser for the second season on social media, suggesting it will indeed return and debut on the streaming platform Max. This thrilling news also offered a sneak peek into what’s to come in terms of fresh storylines and new cast members for season two.

James Gunn Uses Perfect GIF To Express Peacemaker Season 2 Shooting Progress

On Instagram, James Gunn first chatted about his dog hanging out on the set of “Peacemaker,” intending to introduce his cute pet to others. However, the conversation soon shifted as fans inquired about when season two of the series would be completed. To express his stress, Gunn posted a GIF from “Family Guy” showing Stewie sitting dejectedly with crossed arms and rocking back and forth. This suggested that the production of the show has been quite demanding for the director. Accompanying the anxious GIF, he confirmed that filming for “Peacemaker” season two was still in progress. Lately, Gunn also used Threads to refute speculation that Victoria Pedretti from “The Haunting of Hill House” was being considered for the role of Harley in a Batverse project helmed by Matt Reeves.

Following Gunn’s announcement about Peacemaker season two, John Cena has confirmed that the sequel is scheduled to air in 2025. Speaking with The Direct on the Jackpot! red carpet, Cena hinted at a potential debut next year but did not provide a specific release date. Meanwhile, the recent promotional trailer for Peacemaker suggests that season two might delve deeper into the character’s universe compared to the first season. Additionally, the trailer introduced Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr, who will make his debut in the animated series Creature Commandos, and a bloodied Jennifer Holland reprising her role as Emilia Harcourt.

Given the considerable wait between the first season of Peacemaker in 2022 and the second season set for release in 2025, fans’ excitement has never been greater. Luckily, director Gunn plans to add additional DC character appearances as season two unfolds, a development that is sure to captivate both longtime and new viewers with its high-octane, action-packed take on the superhero genre.
