Peacemaker Season 2 | JioHotstar Aug 22, 2025

The wait is finally over! Peacemaker Season 2 premieres on August 22, 2025, on JioHotstar, bringing back John Cena as Chris Smith, aka Peacemaker, in a bold new chapter that expands the freshly rebooted DC Universe (DCU). Created and overseen by James Gunn, this season promises to deliver the same outrageous humor, unexpected heart, and explosive action that made Season 1 a global hit—while raising the stakes like never before.

A Story That Redefines the DCU

Season 2 picks up just one month after the events of Superman (2025), making it the first series to directly link into the new DCU continuity. Chris Smith finds himself entangled with the mysteries of the Quantum Unfolding Chamber, a device that unlocks alternate realities. Along this multiverse-hopping journey, Peacemaker must face different versions of himself while coming to terms with his own contradictions.

The biggest threat? Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo), who seeks vengeance for the death of his son at Peacemaker’s hands. With new enemies and even greater internal conflicts, Peacemaker’s journey becomes a mix of dark comedy, multiversal chaos, and raw emotional struggle.

Returning Cast of Fan Favorites

The series reunites its eccentric team of misfits:

• John Cena as Chris Smith / Peacemaker – still torn between heroics and his flawed moral compass.
  
• Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo – balancing loyalty and her own evolving conscience.

Together, this team faces not just external threats but emotional reckonings that dig deeper than ever before.
