San Diego, California – The highly anticipated Season 2 of “Peacemaker” is officially set to premiere on August 21, 2025, as revealed during an electrifying panel at San Diego Comic-Con. The panel featured series star and executive producer John Cena, alongside writer and director James Gunn, and highlighted some exciting aspects of the new season, drawing significant attention from fans and media alike.
The enthusiastic audience packed into Hall H—a hallmark location at Comic-Con—for what became one of the standout events of the weekend. Fans overcame long lines that wrapped around the convention center and extended past activation areas along San Diego Bay, especially notable given the absence of a competing panel from Marvel Studios.
Cena made a surprise appearance at the event, astonishing attendees by showing up in his iconic Peacemaker costume on a balcony alongside Gunn. The interactive nature of the panel allowed fans to connect directly with the cast, who included returning actors Danielle Brooks (Adebayo), Jennifer Holland (Harcourt), Freddie Stroma (Vigilante), Steve Agee (Economos), Frank Grillo (Rick Flag Sr.), Sol Rodriguez (Sasha Bordeaux), and Tim Meadows (Langston Fleury).
Attendees were treated to a sneak peek of the new trailer for Season 2, providing glimpses of Peacemaker, who is seen navigating a parallel dimension where Harcourt reveals romantic interest in him. Additionally, scenes hinted at tensions as Rick Flag Sr. tries to close a portal while confronting Peacemaker. A highlighted scene showed Harcourt standing her ground against unwelcome advances in a bar, showcasing the show’s commitment to blending action with meaningful character moments.
Another exciting connection made during the panel was the crossover between “Peacemaker” and Gunn’s upcoming “Superman” film. Key characters such as Green Lantern/Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders, and Maxwell Lord will appear in the new season, weaving together the stories within the restructured DC universe.
As part of the festivities, Gunn announced that the Cincinnati rock band Foxy Shazam will perform the show’s official theme song “Oh Lord.” This announcement further fueled excitement among fans eager for the season’s launch. Cena addressed the audience humorously, expressing his gratitude to attendees while playfully referencing his unique view from the balcony.
The event featured giveaways, including “Peacemaker” hats emblazoned with some “mild” profanity, adding a touch of irreverence characteristic of the series. The excitement surrounding Season 2 has been building since the successful completion of Season 1 in early 2022, which had left fans eagerly awaiting the follow-up.
Panel discussions also delved into new elements of Season 2, such as the upcoming opening credits sequence, which will reportedly incorporate a dance element inspired by the classic film “Dirty Dancing”. Overall, Season 2 is set to consist of eight episodes, debuting more than three years after its predecessor.
The panel underscored the pivotal roles of Gunn and Peter Safran as co-CEOs of DC Studios, emphasizing their ongoing mission to revamp the DC Universe. The enthusiasm surrounding Season 2 of “Peacemaker” marks a significant moment for the franchise and its place within the broader context of superhero storytelling.
