Peacemaker season 2 will be released in August 2025. We don’t have an exact date yet, but we do know it will arrive sometime in that month. This makes it the third DCU project and the second live-action DCU project to release, after Superman arrives on July 11, 2025
The second season of the American superhero television series Peacemaker is based on the eponymous character from DC Comics. It is set in the DC Universe (DCU) and serves as a “soft reboot” of the series, which started as a spin-off from the 2021 DC Extended Universe (DCEU) film The Suicide Squad. The season continues the story of jingoistic mercenary Christopher Smith / Peacemaker. It is produced by DC Studios with James Gunn as showrunner
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
- Release Window: Max CEO and Chairman Casey Bloys revealed that “Peacemaker” Season 2 will premiere in August 2025.
- Timing: The series will be released one month after the theatrical release of James Gunn’s “Superman” movie, which is set for July 2025.
- DCU Integration: Season 2 will be integrated into the new DC Universe (DCU) after James Gunn and Peter Safran took over.
- Filming: Filming for Season 2 wrapped in November 2024.

- Other DCU projects: “Waller” spinoff series is in the works, but has faced some challenges.
- Lanterns: is also in the works and is hoped to debut in early 2026.
DC Studios co-chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran emphasized that the release date for Season 2 of the hit Max series Peacemaker is still on track for August.
Meanwhile the other Suicide Squad spinoff series, Waller, starring Oscar winner Viola Davis as the amoral U.S. government espionage director who dispatches the criminal misfit Suicide Squad team on missions, remains in the works. However, it’s been a hard road for the show.
Since then, the CEO of content at HBO and Max Casey Bloys told journalists in early November that the series would return in August 2025, according to IGN.12 Dec 2024
