DC Studios’ 2025 San Diego Comic-Con presence centered around season two of Peacemaker, premiering August 21, 2025 on HBO Max. The Peacemaker panel was one of the most popular at this year’s Comic-Con, and the “Peacefest” activation with props from the series and a live concert was one of the most sought-after tickets.

James Gunn and stars John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, Steve Agee, Frank Grillo, Tim Meadows, and Sol Rodriguez unveiled the official season two trailer during the Hall H panel. And later, at a special Press VIP “Peacefest” party, Gunn revealed the title song is “Oh Lord” by Foxy Shazam.

“In season two, Peacemaker discovers an alternate world where life is everything he wishes it could be. But this discovery also forces him to face his traumatic past and take the future into his own hands,” reads HBO Max’s synopsis.

Gunn created the series, wrote all eight season two episodes, and directed three. Gunn, Peter Safran, and John Cena serve as executive producers. Additional season two directors include Greg Mottola, Peter Sollett, and Alethea Jones.

New episodes stream on Thursdays at 9pm ET/PT on HBO Max.
