HBO Max Is Set To Expand Next Month With Season 2 Of One Of Its Best Series Of 2022
The much-anticipated season 2 of 'Peacemaker' premieres next month on HBO Max, continuing the thrilling superhero saga.
After three long years, it's finally happening: the second season of Peacemaker is coming to HBO Max. You'll be able to watch the first episode on the streaming service in August.
Peacemaker is an American superhero series created by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad). The first season premiered in 2022 and serves as a spin-off of The Suicide Squad.
The series is set after the events of The Suicide Squad and begins as Christopher Smith, aka Peacemaker, is recruited for a secret A.R.G.U.S. unit known as Project Butterfly.
His mission is to eliminate an alien plague known as Butterflies: parasitic beings that take over human bodies. Alongside an eccentric team, including the idealistic Leota Adebayo, the impulsive Vigilante, and the determined Clemson Murn, he must devise a plan to defeat this plague.
While Peacemaker stubbornly clings to his peaceful mission, this conviction clashes with his teammates and his own traumatic past. The second season once again focuses on Peacemaker, delving deeper into his narrative.
Season 1 of Peacemaker received outstanding reviews from critics, boasting a score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. A second season was ordered back in 2022.
Season 2 was originally set to start filming in 2023, but faced significant delays due to Gunn's appointment as co-CEO of DC Studios, as he prioritized Superman (2025).
Fortunately, the wait is almost over. You can watch season 2 of Peacemaker starting Thursday, August 21, on HBO Max.
