The streamer also released the first teaser, which opens with John Cena's Peacemaker being interrogated by Justice League's Green Lantern/Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders (Isabela Merced) and Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn).
“Can you tell us a little about your skills,” asks Green Lantern, to which Peacemaker/Chris replies “I’m considered the finest marksman in the world,” “Microphone is off?” we hear Hawkgirl say. Cena’s Chris continues touting his skills, saying “I am also proficient in hand-to-hand combat.” But the three are not impressed. At one point we hear “This guy sucks”.
According to the description, the new season will follow Christopher “Chris” Smith, aka Peacemaker, the maverick superhero as he struggles to reconcile his past with his newfound purpose in life, all while continuing to take on righteous evildoers in his misguided quest for peace, no matter the cost.
The returning cast for season two includes Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick. The new cast members for season two are Frank Grillo, David Denman, Sol Rodriguez, and Tim Meadows.
Gunn wrote all eight episodes of Peacemaker (2022) and directed three, including the first episode. Gunn, Peter Safran, and John Cena are executive producers. Greg Mottola, Peter Sollett, and Althea Jones are also directing.
HBO Max has scheduled Thursday, August 21, for the start of Peacemaker (2022) season two. Watch the teaser below.
