About Peacemaker

John Cena's Peacemaker began as a supporting part in The Suicide Squad and got a series out of it, written and largely directed by James Gunn. The character will kill anyone to secure peace and has never once examined that sentence, and the show is a comedy about how he ended up that way, with a father, a childhood and a basement full of reasons. The second season sent him through a door into a world where his life had gone differently.

Two seasons have aired, the second in 2025, and HBO Max has not ordered a third. Gunn has said some of these characters continue without committing to another season of this show, and with the DC Universe now running as one connected slate, the likelier outcome is that the character turns up somewhere else. The date is still to be confirmed, which for now means nothing is scheduled. Both seasons are on HBO Max.
