Will There Be A 'Peacemaker' Season 3? James Gunn Says It's Complicated

"DC's new cinematic universe is practically in its infancy, but with James Gunn at the helm, it's also maturing at what feels like light speed. The "Superman Saga" is clearly the cornerstone of the new franchise: two sequels to this year's Superman are already on the way, and Peacemaker Season 2 is also doing its part to advance that storyline. Its most recent episode set the stage for Man of Tomorrow, a team-up film for the Man of Steel (David Corenswet) and his arch-nemesis Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult)."

"With only two episodes left in Season 2, fans of Peacemaker are naturally wondering where Cena's vigilante will head next. As his cameo in Superman proved, he could easily jump from the small screen and back to film for a much bigger adventure. He could also return for another season of Peacemaker. There are plenty of possibilities, but only Gunn knows which path this story will take... and the filmmaker is vague as ever on Peacemaker's future."

"When asked whether there'd be a Peacemaker Season 3, Gunn answered with his trademark misdirection: "not necessarily." "You're gonna find out more in Episode 8 because it's not necessarily that," Gunn explained, shooting down hopes for a straightforward third season. "Some of these characters will continue, but also, it's not exactly Peacemaker 3." We could very well see the cast of the show appear in upcoming films like Supergirl or Man of Tomorrow, rather than continue their adventures in another season of Peacemaker."

DC's cinematic universe is expanding rapidly under new creative leadership, with the Superman Saga positioned as the franchise cornerstone and two sequels planned. Peacemaker Season 2 advances the larger storyline and its recent episode establishes the Man of Tomorrow team-up between Superman and Lex Luthor. Only two episodes remain in Season 2, leaving Peacemaker's trajectory unclear. The character could transition to film, return for another season, or have cast members appear in other DC projects such as Supergirl or Man of Tomorrow. The filmmaker has left the show's long-term path ambiguous without fully ruling out another season.
