In January 2022, HBO Max introduced viewers to a new comedy series Peacemaker, which tells about the character of the Marvel universe – Christopher Smith. The director of the project was James Gunn, who shot Guardians of the Galaxy and the second part of Suicide Squad, where viewers first saw the Peacemaker. The director has already talked about the possibility of a sequel, but shortly before the release of the final episode of the first season, he tweeted the official news about the filming of the second season. The release date for season 2 of the series Peacemaker could be in 2023, but it is more likely that the show will be released later.
That’s right, #Peacemaker is coming back for Season Two. Thanks to Peter Safran, @JohnCena, our incredible cast & crew, our wildly supportive & lovely friends at @HBOMax – and mostly all of you for watching! @DCpeacemaker pic.twitter.com/wZSZBivrDQ

What do you think, is it worth filming a sequel, and what should be in it?
Now James Gunn is actively engaged in work on the third part of Guardians of the Galaxy. The director said that the active cooperation with Marvel has tired him, but he is completely satisfied with the result. After the release of the new movie about the Guardians of the Galaxy, he wants to take a short break to later return and show the audience the second spin-off of Suicide Squad. Work has already begun on it. It is expected that only after the release of this project, James Gunn will start working on new episodes of Peacekeeper.
Given the fact that HBO Max wants the director to personally shoot all the episodes (in the first season he shot 5 episodes out of 9), the likelihood that work will begin in the near future is small, which means the release date will be in 2023 with a good coincidence, but with a high probability, it will happen even later.

The series Peacemaker is about a hitman named Christopher Smith. In order to achieve peace, the man is ready to do anything, so he becomes a ruthless killer. Not being particularly shrewd, the hero often does not think about cause and effect, blindly following orders, which, according to others, will lead to the eradication of crime in the world. Viewers were first introduced to the character in the second part of Suicide Squad, where he had to clean up all traces of U.S. government crimes and acted as the antagonist. The solo project tells of further events unfolding immediately after those shown in the film. The release date of season 2 of the series Peacemaker is expected in 2023, there are no details about the plot.
The main role in the project was played by former athlete John Cena, he will return to the character in the second season, but the participation of his partners on the show is not confirmed, which may promise a change in the cast and location. In addition, the plot may be affected by the project’s second upcoming spin-off. Which character it will tell about is unknown, but it is very likely to have a connection to Peacemaker. The release date for its sequel is 2023.
