HBO Max is gearing up for the August 2025 release of Peacemaker Season 2, created by James Gunn and starring John Cena, who returns as the titular character facing new challenges in an alternate world. The season consists of eight episodes, with a weekly release schedule starting August 21 in the U.S., and features the return of much of the original cast alongside new members like Frank Grillo and Tim Meadows.

The official trailer, released on July 27, has garnered millions of views and features Ozzy Osbourne's "Road to Nowhere" as its soundtrack, adding emotional resonance following Osbourne's recent passing. Fans have expressed enthusiasm and anticipation for the season, praising Gunn's creative direction and the show's humor and tone.
