John Cena enters the newly rebooted DC Universe with Peacemaker season two.
Created by James Gunn, the show’s second season serves as a quasi-reboot and takes place after events in 2025’s Superman. It picks up as the vigilante hero discovers a parallel world where he can live out his dream life, but its discovery forces him to confront his traumatic past.

Cena returns in the title role alongside Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick. Newcomers to the cast include Frank Grillo, Sol Rodriguez, David Denman, Tim Meadows, and Michael Rooker.
The show’s second season debuted in August 2025 across HBO and Sky Max, with all eight episodes set to air weekly until October 9, 2025.
What is the theme song in Peacemaker season 2?
A new season marks a change in theme, with the show’s opening dance sequence now soundtracked by Foxy Shazam’s ‘Oh Lord’.
