John Cena has shared some more thoughts on the process on Peacemaker season 2.

Speaking with Variety about his involvement with the Brawl Stars mobile game, Cena was asked about the status of Peacemaker season 2. "We are in progress. That is the safest answer I can give without anybody knocking on my door and telling me I’m fired," said Cena. "Personally, I am very happy, so I hope that translates to everybody who is anticipating it."

He did eventually go on to discuss why there was such a long wait after season 1, however. "What you got to understand and keep in mind is I’m the guy who plays Peacemaker. So when we come out with a show and it’s the No. 1 show on Max and, finally, we take a character who is supposed to be dead, bring Peacemaker back to life, and people enjoy the universe and want to see more of it — but then you have a shift in the structure of who is calling the shots over at DC. James [Gunn] and Peter [Safran] actually both called me and said, ‘You know what, we want to take some time to do this right. But it’s just going to take a little time.’ So it was crazy to know we did something people want, they want more of it, let’s do it again. And everybody’s like, ‘No wait, we just got to do a few things first. And we have this whole plan, and it’s all going to work together. So if you just trust us, we’ll be okay.’ And it seems like forever ago, now that we’re filming every day, it seems like it will be just right around the corner that we’re watching Season 2."

Peacemaker season 2 began production earlier this year. The cast will include returning actors John Cena as Christopher Smith/Peacemaker, Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase/Vigilante, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag St., Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, and Steve Agee as John Economos. David Denman and Sol Rodríguez have joined in unknown roles, and Saturday Night Live alum Tim Meadows has signed on as a member of ARGUS.

Gunn has also confirmed that season 2 is set in the new DCU and not the old DCEU. How this will be addressed, if at all, has not yet been revealed.

No firm release date has been announced for Peacemaker season 2 beyond the second half of 2025.
