The first series of Peacemaker proved to be an unlikely critical darling for James Gunn and DC Studios and it seems they have continued that trend with series two.

Peacemaker, played by WWE superstar John Cena, was first introduced in The Suicide Squad and the character received its own series in 2021.

Though Peacemaker was a villain in The Suicide Squad, he becomes an anti-hero in the television series, as he joins an elite group of mercenaries that must hunt down parasites that have infected human bodies.
 
In addition to Cena, the show stars Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Chukwudi Iwuji, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick.
 
A major addition to the cast for the second season is Frank Grillo who will play Rick Flag Sr., looking to avenge his son's death.
 
The first season has a score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, while the upcoming season two has a score of 95%.
 
Season two premieres on 21 August, being shown on Sky Max in the United Kingdom and HBO Max in the United States.
 

Peacemaker season two reviews

"Peacemaker Season 2 has the same flood of heart as Superman, is another excellent exercise in world-building, and by virtue of feeling more like a pure expression of Gunn as a creator, I’d confidently say it’s the better of the two." - Simon Gallagher of ComicBook.com.

"Peacemaker Season 2 is just AWESOME once again. Absurd, Kickass, Bloody, & of course Hilarious! While Fully cementing itself in the DCU with what is canon from the DCEU (it blends nicely all together)" - Zach Pope of Zach Pope Reviews.

"Peacemaker season 2 recaptures everything that made season 1 so special, but it tells a whole new story with a surprisingly great multiversal twist." - Ben Sherlock of ScreenRant.

"Peacemaker Season 2 tackles the transition from the DCEU to the DCU brilliantly, while still being sure to deliver the same wacky yet emotional vibes." - Tessa Smith of Moviefone.

"The testament of a good show is whether or not you care about the characters more than the bigger picture. With Peacemaker season 2, we’re lucky in the sense that both of those aspects are thrilling this time around." - Rachael Leishman of The Mary Sue.

"Anchored by great work from John Cena, Peacemaker’s second season raises its already high bar with a well-judged blend of heart, madness, and an ass-kicking eagle." - Amon Warmann of Empire.
