Casey Bloys, the CEO of Max and HBO, revealed that Season 2 will be available to stream in August 2025.
According to a report by IGN, this announcement was made by Bloys at an event. There, the release window for another show, The Last of Us Season 2, was also revealed. Recently, footage of Peacemaker Season 2 was released in a compilation of show clips that also teased other Max shows.
Moreover, the footage showed Frank Grillo appearing as Rick Flag Sr. in the sophomore season. It is the character he plays in Creature Commandos. The first season of Peacemaker was highly successful with critics as well as fans lauding it.
John Cena spoke about the waiting fans had to do for Season 2 with Variety. He stated, “What you got to understand and keep in mind is I’m the guy who plays Peacemaker. So when we come out with a show and it’s the No. 1 show on Max and, finally, we take a character who is supposed to be dead, bring Peacemaker back to life, and people enjoy the universe and want to see more of it — but then you have a shift in the structure of who is calling the shots over at DC.”
Cena added, “James and Peter actually both called me and said, ‘You know what, we want to take some time to do this right. But it’s just going to take a little time.’”
