James Gunn confirmed that Peacemaker would be getting a second season on HBO Max today. Over the course of the first season, fans really grew to like John Cena’s boisterous vigilante. Clearly that strong fan reaction did something for the HBO brass as they signaled their intent to keep rocking with the band of misfits in a second season. On Twitter, the creator announced the news to almost universal applause. When Peacemaker was announced, a lot of people wondered why Cena’s character would be the one from The Suicide Squad that got a miniseries. But, after the first episode hit the streaming service, it all became very clear. Check out what the filmmaker had to say down below.
That’s right, #Peacemaker is coming back for Season Two. Thanks to Peter Safran, @JohnCena, our incredible cast & crew, our wildly supportive & lovely friends at @HBOMax – and mostly all of you for watching! @DCpeacemaker pic.twitter.com/wZSZBivrDQ
