It’s been a few years, but Peacemaker is finally about to make its return to streaming: Max announced that the DC series will back for eight episodes starting on August 21st. The news came along with a teaser trailer that includes the titular lead (played again by John Cena) seemingly struggling to join a new superhero team, while the rest of friends are similarly dealing with the aftermath of having just saved the world. Also, there’s a very timely Grand Theft Auto joke.
In addition to Cena, it looks like most of the cast is also returning, including Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick, alongside newcomers like Tim Meadows. DC Studios’ co-CEO James Gunn is back as well; he wrote all eight episodes, according to Warner Bros., and directed three of them. (It’s a big year for Gunn, who also wrote and directed the upcoming Superman reboot.)
While the new trailer provides a good idea of what to expect in season 2, it is missing one critical detail: will the amazing opening credits scene remain the same? We’ll have to wait until this summer to find out.
