Peacemaker season 2 is complete. Series creator and DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn announced that filming has wrapped on the superhero drama.

“And that is a WRAP on #Peacemaker season 2, including our last remaining actors Steve Agee, Tim Meadows, Sol Rodriguez & Brandon Stanley (& our DP Sam McCurdy pictured here moments after the last shot.),” Gunn wrote on X. “Thanks to our entire cast & crew who made this a wonderful experience. My relief to have a break from shooting after ten months straight is countered by how much I’ll miss all of you!”

Peacemaker stars Cena as Christopher Smith/Peacemaker, the arrogant mercenary who goes by the moniker Peacemaker. Season 1 picks up after the events of The Suicide Squad, with Peacemaker forced to work with the A.R.G.U.S. black ops squad on a secret mission called Project Butterfly.

Besides Cena, Peacemaker season 2 stars Holland as Emilia Harcourt, Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase/Vigilante, Chukwudi Iwuji as Clemson Murn, Steve Agee as John Economos, Robert Patrick as August “Auggie” Smith/White Dragon, Sol Rodríguez as Sasha Bordeaux, and Tim Meadows as Langston Fleury. David Denman, Taylor St. Clair, Anissa Matlock, and Dorian Kingi have been cast in undisclosed roles.

The biggest addition to the season 2 cast is Frank Grillo, who will play Rick Flag Sr. In The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker killed Rick Flag Jr., the son of Rick Flag Sr. Grillo’s character will first appear in the animated series Creature Commandos, which begins streaming on Max on December 5.

Peacemaker season 2 premieres in August 2025.

James Gunn teases Peacemaker season 2, Lanterns, and his next DC project

The new DC Universe (DCU) from James Gunn and Peter Safran will begin next month with the arrival of the animated TV series Creature Commandos. The DCU is nearly a complete reset from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), the previously shared universe from 2013 to 2023. In an interview with IGN, Gunn clarified that everything seen or spoken about in Creature Commandos or any project released after that is canon in the DCU. However, there is one major exception.

Gunn said, “The truth is almost all of Peacemaker is canon with the exception of Justice League … which we will kind of deal with in the next season of Peacemaker." The scene in question happens at the end of Peacemaker season 1, when the Justice League, including Jason Momoa’s Aquaman and Ezra Miller’s Flash, are late arrivals to the fight against the Butterflies.
