‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 Episode Lengths and Release Dates

Peacemaker was renewed for a second season back in February 2022, a day before the season one finale, with James Gunn set to write and direct the eight-episode series (with the release of the teaser trailer, we now know that Gunn will only direct three episodes with Greg Mottola, Peter Sollett and Althea Jones directing the rest). Filming began in April 2024 in Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, before being put on hold until June. Filming would then conclude in November of that year.

What is Peacemaker Season 2 About?

From the teaser trailer, it appears that Christopher Smith / Peacemaker and the rest of the 11th Street Kids are trying to find their place in the world after saving it from the Butterflies in season 1. For example, Chris goes on to audition for the Justice Gang (who we’ll first meet in July’s Superman) but is turned down. We also see that Emilia Harcourt will be given a bigger focus in this season as she works out her “Toxic Masculinity”. Chris is also on the run from ARGUS and their director, Rick Flag Sr (Frank Grillo) who wants to avenge his son’s death. We also have Michael Rooker’s mysterious character who may be set up as an antagonist for the series, maybe going as far as forcing Peacemaker to team up with ARGUS to take down this new foe.

The synopsis reads as follows:

The new season follows Christopher “Chris” Smith, aka Peacemaker, the vigilante Super Hero 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

An updated synopsis has also been released as of July 25th, 2025:

In season 2, 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.
