Peacemaker Season 1 Episode 1 A Whole New Whirled

Someone alert Eagly! James Gunn‘s raunchy DC mega-hit Peacemaker received a second season renewal courtesy of HBO Max, WarnerMedia revealed in a press release. The news arrives ahead of the freshman series’ Season 1 finale. 

As reported by WarnerMedia, Gunn will direct and pen all episodes of Season 2. Here’s what Gunn had to say regarding the renewal: 

Creating Peacemaker has been one of the true highlights of my life, both professionally and otherwise, with John Cena and the incredible creative team around me, as well as our partners at HBO Max. To have something we all love so much be loved by the audience in turn has been a wonderful experience. I can’t wait for folks to see where Team Peacemaker goes in Season Two!

Peacemaker premiered on January 13 to critical acclaim, with its fan base of critics and viewers alike expanding throughout its run. John Cena stars as the titular hero who will do anything to achieve peace, no matter how many people he must kill to get it. 

The main cast includes Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase/Vigilante, Chukwudi Iwuji as Clemson Murn, Steve Agee as John Economos and Robert Patrick as Auggie Smith/The White Dragon. 

Cena also chimed in about the Season 2 greenlight: 

I am incredibly honored and humbled by the response to Peacemaker and the experience of playing this character. Thank you to James Gunn, Peter Safran, HBO Max, the crew, and my castmates who worked tirelessly to make this unforgettable series.

While this news is exciting, it’s not surprising. HBO Max would be foolish not to grant Peacemaker another season, considering how highly rated this current outing is. Here’s hoping Gunn continues the tradition of having cast members dance to hair metal in the opening credits. 

The Peacemaker Season 1 finale, “It’s Cow or Never,” will stream Thursday, February 17, on HBO Max.
