Peacemaker 2022

Peacemaker is an American superhero television series created by James Gunn for the streaming service HBO Max, based on the eponymous character from DC Comics. The first season is a spin-off of the film The Suicide Squad (2021) set in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), further exploring jingoistic vigilante Chris Smith / Peacemaker. The second season is the first live-action series in the DC Universe (DCU), a "soft reboot" of the DCEU, retroactively incorporating most of The Suicide Squad and the first season into the DCU's continuity, and taking place after the events of the film Superman (2025). The series is produced by the Safran Company and Troll Court Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television and with Gunn as showrunner. It was produced by DC Studios with Gunn returning as showrunner. John Cena stars as Chris Smith / Peacemaker, reprising his role from The Suicide Squad, alongside Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Chukwudi Iwuji, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick also starring in the first season, with Frank Grillo joining the cast in the second season.
