Peacemaker season 2 soundtrack – all the songs in the DC show
John Cena is back in the DC Universe as Peacemaker, complete with a brand new set of tunes.
Peacemaker season 2 comes to an end next week, with James Gunn's offbeat DC series sure to leave fans wanting more.
The so-called 11th Street Kids, some of whom first appeared in 2021's The Suicide Squad, spent this week's episode in a nightmarish alternate universe – where John Cena's Peacemaker had misguidedly decided to settle down.
Upon realising its true nature, a daring rescue mission ensues, with Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), Vigilante (Freddie Stroma) and Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) among the key players across a suspenseful half-hour.
Now, all eyes are on how Gunn will wrap up this chapter in his refreshed DC Universe, with the finale sure to drum up speculation about Peacemaker's next appearance in the franchise.
The reboot began with last year's Creature Commandos animated series and continued with summer blockbuster Superman. After next week, Milly Alcock-led blockbuster Supergirl will be next up to bat.
What most of Gunn's projects share is a finely curated song list – and Peacemaker is no exception. If you've been enjoying the latest episodes, read on for your complete guide to the Peacemaker season 2 soundtrack.
Peacemaker season 2 theme song
Peacemaker season 2 opens to a dance number set to Foxy Shazam's energetic rock ballad 'Oh Lord', originally released on the band's 2010 self-titled album.
The first season of Peacemaker also featured a dance routine at the start of each episode, although that season's chosen track was 'Do Ya Wanna Taste It' by Norwegian band Wig Wam.
Speaking to The Wrap, Peacemaker creator James Gunn explained the song choices: "I think that in the same way 'Do Ya Wanna Taste It' really captured the flavour, both the light and the dark sides of season 1, the same is true of 'Oh Lord'."
Gunn is known for inserting memorable tunes into his work, from the 'Awesome Mixes' of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy to the viral inclusion of the Teddybears and Iggy Pop song Punkrocker in this summer's Superman reboot.
