Peacemaker Season 3: Release Date, Cast, and Everything We Know So Far

The Peacemaker Season 2 finale left fans shocked — and full of questions. After that intense ending, everyone wants to know one thing: Will there be a Peacemaker Season 3?

James Gunn’s action-packed DC series starring John Cena has built a loyal fan base since its debut, and now viewers are desperate for updates about the show’s future. Here’s everything we know so far — including the latest comments from James Gunn, possible storylines, and when Season 3 could arrive.


Where to Watch Peacemaker

Before diving into what’s next, here’s where to catch up.
Both Season 1 and Season 2 of Peacemaker are now streaming exclusively on HBO Max.

Season 1 premiered in January 2022, followed by Season 2, which dropped in August 2025. So, if you’re new to the series, now’s the perfect time to binge-watch both seasons before any Season 3 announcements arrive.


Peacemaker Season 2 Recap: What Happened in the Finale?

Warning — spoilers ahead!

In the Peacemaker Season 2 finale, Chris Smith (played by John Cena) faces his most difficult challenge yet. He’s captured by A.R.G.U.S. — the Advanced Research Group Uniting Super-Humans — and sent to a mysterious new world called Salvation.

Salvation is a prison planet created to hold dangerous metahumans and villains. A.R.G.U.S. uses Peacemaker as the first test subject, and the season ends with him completely alone on this strange planet.

It’s a dark and emotional ending that leaves fans wondering: Can Peacemaker escape Salvation? Or is he trapped forever?


Will There Be a Peacemaker Season 3?

As of now, DC Studios and HBO Max haven’t officially confirmed a third season of Peacemaker.

Given the long gap between the first and second seasons, fans may need to be patient. If Season 3 does get approved, it could take at least another year to produce — meaning a possible 2026 or 2027 release date.

Still, the massive popularity of the show and the cliffhanger ending make it hard to believe this is truly the end. Fans remain hopeful that John Cena will return for one more mission.


James Gunn’s Update on Peacemaker Season 3

Creator James Gunn has shared a few clues about Peacemaker’s future — but he’s being very careful with his words.

In an interview with Variety, Gunn said he would “never say never” when asked about Season 3. However, he also explained that the story from the Season 2 finale might continue in other DC projects rather than in a new Peacemaker season.

> “This is about the other stories in which this [cliffhanger] will play out,” Gunn said. “Never say never. But right now, this is about the future of the DCU.”



He repeated a similar comment to Deadline, saying, “This is about the wider DC Universe and other stories where this will continue. That doesn’t mean there won’t be a third season. I don’t want to say never — but right now, the focus is on the future of the DCU.”

In other words, Peacemaker’s story might not be over — it could just take a new shape within the expanding DC Universe.


What Could Happen in Peacemaker Season 3

If Peacemaker Season 3 happens, fans can expect the story to pick up right where it left off — on the planet Salvation.

Possible directions for the plot include:

Peacemaker fighting to escape Salvation

A deeper look into A.R.G.U.S. and its dark motives

New metahuman or villain characters joining the story

Peacemaker learning to face his inner demons and guilt


James Gunn is known for mixing humor, heart, and action, so viewers can expect an emotional yet entertaining continuation if the show returns.


Peacemaker’s Role in the New DC Universe

Even if Peacemaker Season 3 doesn’t happen immediately, the character is still important in the new DC Universe that James Gunn is building.

Gunn has hinted that Peacemaker could appear in future DC movies or series, connecting his story to other heroes and villains. That means Chris Smith’s journey may continue — just not in the same show.


Final Thoughts

Right now, there’s no official Peacemaker Season 3 release date or confirmation. But James Gunn’s “never say never” attitude keeps fans hopeful.

Until then, both seasons are available to stream on HBO Max, giving fans a chance to revisit every wild, funny, and emotional moment from the show.

Whether Peacemaker returns in a new season or another DC project, one thing’s clear — this anti-hero’s story isn’t finished yet.
