‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 Unveils Teaser Trailer, Photos and Premiere Date

The lengthy teaser for Peacemaker season two has DC fans geeking out over the appearances of Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), and Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) at the beginning of the trailer. The two and a half minute trailer also features new A.R.G.U.S. leader Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) and Langston Fleury (Tim Meadows), who proves he’s horrible at coming up with nicknames.

“The new season follows Christopher ‘Chris’ Smith, aka Peacemaker (John Cena), the vigilante superhero, as he struggles to reconcile his past with his newfound sense of purpose while continuing to kick righteous evil-doer butt in his misguided quest for peace at any cost,” reads Max’s official synopsis.

Season two will premiere on August 21, 2025 at 9pm ET/PT, with new episodes of the eight-episode season arriving on Thursdays.
