Fans of the hit DC series Peacemaker have been eagerly awaiting news about Season 2 since the first season's explosive debut in January 2022. Created by James Gunn and starring John Cena as the chaotic, peace-obsessed antihero Christopher Smith, the show became a standout success for HBO Max. With speculation swirling about its release date, one question persists: Is Peacemaker Season 2 releasing in June 2025? Here's everything we know so far. Is Peacemaker Season 2 Releasing in June 2025?
No, Peacemaker Season 2 is not releasing in June 2025. According to official announcements from DC Studios and showrunner James Gunn, the second season is scheduled to premiere on August 21, 2025, on Max. Gunn confirmed this date via social media posts on April 7, 2025, stating, 'Counting the days until Peace on Earth. I just finished the DI & Mix on the Season Premiere yesterday and wow it's one of my favorite things ever. DC Studios' #Peacemaker Season 2 coming soon only on @StreamOnMax August 21.' This release follows the theatrical debut of Gunn's Superman film on July 11, 2025, aligning with the DC Universe timeline. Background on Peacemaker
Peacemaker originated as a spin-off from the 2021 film The Suicide Squad , where John Cena's character, a jingoistic mercenary willing to kill for peace, stole the spotlight. The first season, an eight-episode run, followed Peacemaker's mission with Task Force X to stop an alien invasion known as Project Butterflies, blending dark humor, action, and surprising depth. Its success—culminating in a record-breaking finale viewership for Max in February 2022—prompted a swift renewal for Season 2. Where to Watch
Peacemaker Season 2 will stream exclusively on Max in the US, starting August 21, 2025. Internationally, availability varies—expect it on JioHotstar in India, as noted by The New Indian Express. Season 1 is currently available on Max for a refresher.
