HBO Max has released the official trailer for the highly anticipated second season of Peacemaker, featuring John Cena in the lead role. The unveiling took place at the San Diego Comic-Con, where Cena was joined by fellow cast members Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, Frank Grillo, Tim Meadows, and Sol Rodriguez, along with show creator James Gunn.
In this new season, Peacemaker embarks on a journey into an alternate world that embodies everything he has ever desired. However, this new reality compels him to confront his traumatic past and take control of his future. The series, which is based on characters from DC Comics, is crafted for television by Gunn, who has written all eight episodes and directed three.
Behind the Scenes and New Additions
The cast also includes Robert Patrick, reprising his role, along with new addition David Denman. Gunn expressed enthusiasm about the direction of the upcoming season, stating, “It isn’t trying to one-up the first season. It’s bigger, there’s a different vibe to it. New characters, different dancers.” His creative vision also extends to the show’s iconic opening credits, which he described as a “miraculous” element of the first season.
Jennifer Holland shared her excitement about the choreography, mentioning, “We have an amazing choreographer who took James’ idea and vibe he was going for and made something special.” She humorously noted her request to perform the famous lift from Dirty Dancing, which she accomplished and described as “amazing.”
Frank Grillo added humor to the discussion by reflecting on how his initial reluctance to dance transformed into him being the “best dancer on stage.” The creative team also includes executive producers Peter Safran and Cena, with directors Greg Mottola, Peter Sollett, and Alethea Jones contributing to the series.

Television, the second season of Peacemaker is set to premiere on August 21, 2024, at 21:00 ET on HBO Max.
