From merciless blowhard to damaged but well-meaning himbo, John Cena’s Christopher Smith, aka Peacemaker, took a heck of a journey in the first season of his HBO Max show. First introduced in James Gunn’s 2021 movie “The Suicide Squad,” Peacemaker spun off into his own series, also helmed by Gunn, in January 2022.

Battered and bloodied after just barely saving the world from an alien invasion, anti-hero Peacemaker (John Cena) and his surviving teammates are headed away from the battlefield to get medical treatment when the Justice League finally arrive, too late to help.

Soon after Season 2 of Peacemaker premiered, DC Studios released the new opening dance for you to watch on repeat.

Serving as a precursor for the events of Peacemaker Season 2, Superman supporting characters Green Lantern/Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders (Isabela Merced) and Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn) appeared in a teaser for upcoming episodes.

“Peacemaker” Season 2 premieres on Thursday, August 21. New episodes of “Peacemaker” Season 2 debut at 9 p.m. ET on Thursdays. Like season 1 three years ago, Season 2 of “Peacemaker” will be available for streaming on HBO Max beginning on Aug. 21.
