How to watch Peacemaker season 2 – when are new episodes released?
The DCU gets even stranger with the return of James Gunn's sci-fi comedy.
Peacemaker season 2 kicks off its raucous run this week, reintroducing John Cena's outrageous antihero after several years out of the spotlight.
The vigilante also known as Chris Smith is known for his comically contradictory worldview – that being, his pursuit of peace through brutal violence – but has also shown a softer side in this lighthearted spin-off.
Where season 1 was tied to the now-defunct DC continuity, this second outing is seamlessly carried over to the bold new world established in this summer's Superman, with creator James Gunn describing it as an "incredibly important" addition.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I don't think there's anything that I've ever done that I love more than this season of Peacemaker, so I'm so excited for people to see it."
Alas, he did clarify that, while Superman was a relatively family-friendly affair, Peacemaker is strictly "not for children" – and having seen the first five episodes, we wholeheartedly agree.
