Peacemaker Season 2 Episode Guide and Complete Release Schedule: What days do the new episodes drop?

Our anti-hero is back in action. Peacemaker Season 2, the spin-off of Suicide Squad, is premiering on August 21. With his iconic Superman-inspired costume, he is back to get the title of an actual hero this time.

Seeking peace in the past season, he crossed the line of rules and found himself straddling the space between hero and anti-hero. Peacemaker must now face the consequences of his past, as Rick Flag Sr. hunts him down to avenge his son’s death. 

In its upcoming season, fans will also get to see a new dimensional portal where Peacemaker will head to close the old chapter. It’s a story of revenge, redemption, and guilt, with a touch of satire, all tied together by one big question: what does it truly mean to be a hero?

This time, showrunner James Gunn will take fans into a parallel world with Peacemaker, where he comes face-to-face with none other than… another Peacemaker! 

The new season will showcase a different side of Peacemaker: entering another universe, leaving behind the killing and violence, auditions for Justice Gang, and attempting to become a better version of himself. James Gunn shared about his character at the trailer launch of Peacemaker season 2 and said,

 ‘’Peacemaker is a different guy this year. He’s dealing with the demons he uncovered from the first season, and trying to deal with them, and the world is not accepting him the way he is. They aren’t accepting him as a hero.”

Release date of Peacemaker season 2 

Peacemaker season 2 is all set to premiere on Thursday, August 21, 2025. The second installment will have a total of eight episodes, releasing exclusively on HBO Max. The second season kicks off with its premiere episode on launch day, followed by seven more episodes releasing weekly every Thursday through October. Timings have not been disclosed yet.
