If ya really wanna taste of Peacemaker season 2, you'll have to wait for James Gunn 's Superman . After confirming that the second season of The Suicide Squad spinoff series will be grandfathered into the DC Universe canon -- which will kick off with the Max animated series Creature Commandos in December, before Superman officially launches the new DCU -- the DC Studios co-chief revealed that John Cena's chrome-helmeted anti-hero won't return until after the Man of Steel reboot takes flight in July 2025.
Season 2 of Peacemaker will air in "2025 after Superman ," Gunn announced on Threads . The new season "follows the events" of the first DC Studios film, which tells the story of a younger Kal-El ( Twisters ' David Corenswet, taking over from Henry Cavill) and "Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas," according to the official synopsis .
Plot details remain locked away in Belle Reve, but announced cast members include the return of Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, daughter of Viola Davis' Amanda Waller; Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase / Vigilante; Jennifer Holland and Steve Agee as A.R.G.U.S. Agents Emilia Harcourt and John Economos; and new cast members Sol Rodr?guez ( Star Trek: Picard ), Tim Meadows ( Saturday Night Live ), and David Denman ( Brightburn ), with Frank Grillo reprising his role from Creature Commandos and Superman as Rick Flag Sr.
In July, Gunn announced the DCU order is as follows: Creature Commandos (December 2024), Superman (July 2025), and Peacemaker season 2 (TBA 2025). "All of these initial projects are happening in the order they're released," Gunn said of the DC Studios slate, which includes the undated Max series Waller , HBO's Green Lantern series, the comedy series Booster Gold , the Game of Thrones -inspired Wonder Woman spinoff Paradise Lost , and the upcoming feature films Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (dated for June 26th, 2026), The Authority , Batman reboot The Brave and the Bold , Swamp Thing , and Teen Titans .
"Nothing is 'in production' unless it's been greenlit. Right now that's Superman , Supergirl , Penguin , Peacemaker , Lanterns , and a handful of animated projects," Gunn shared on Threads , adding that announced and unannounced projects will only go into production "once we have a script or scripts we think are great and ready to shoot, never before."
Peacemaker season 1 is streaming now on Max (formerly HBO Max).
