Peacemaker Season 2 starts with a clever twist. The “Previously in the DCU” recap no longer shows the old Season 1 Justice League silhouettes. Instead, it features the new Justice Gang.

Peacemaker is finally back on our screens, and the show opens by clearing up some canon questions, since season 1 was set in the DCEU and season 2 takes place in the new DCU. After season 1 ended with major Justice League cameos, season 2 has updated this scene to feature the Justice Gang instead in a "previously on..." recap.

Peacemaker season 2 premiered on HBO Max on Thursday, August 21, 2025, bringing James Gunn and John Cena's hit series back after a three-year break.
