Peacemaker Season 2: Expected Plot, Number of Episodes & Cast

As you know, Peacemaker Season 1 was a spin-off/sequel of James Gunn’s 2021 film The Suicide Squad. It was about how the titular superhero Peacemaker (played by John Cena) is coerced into joining a team with a mission to track and eliminate butterfly-like creatures that have taken over humans in different parts of the world. It received a brilliant critics’ score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and an IMDb user rating of 8.3/10.

Peacemaker Season 2 also consists of eight episodes. It will transition from DCEU to DCU, and the story takes place after the events of James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie starring David Corenswet. The new season, which arrives a month after Superman, is expected to delve into the good and bad effects of the events shown in the first season. It will focus more on Christopher Smith (Peacemaker’s real name) than on Peacemaker and his relationship with other characters.
