FAQ
Has Peacemaker been renewed for Season 3?
No. Following the Season 2 finale in October 2025, James Gunn said there are no plans for a third season right now, though he stopped short of ruling it out entirely.
Will there be a Peacemaker Season 3?
Maybe eventually, but nothing is in development. Gunn has said the characters' next chapters will play out across the wider DCU rather than in a standalone Season 3 — "I don't want to never say never."
Where does the Peacemaker story continue?
In other DCU films and shows. Gunn specifically pointed to Checkmate as "a thing now," carrying elements of Peacemaker's story forward.
Is John Cena done playing Peacemaker?
Not necessarily. Gunn's comments suggest Chris Smith will appear again within the DCU, but no specific Peacemaker-led project has been announced.
