Okay, DC fans, you have been waiting for the return of John Cena’s superhero series PEACEMAKER and a date has been confirmed. The James Gunn series from DC Studios will arrive on Max beginning Thursday, August 21. There had been speculation on whether the series was going to be part of the new DC timeline or a stand-alone, but since Gunn held off on the sophomore season of the show until after the new Superman movie debuted, it seems to indicate that PEACEMAKER is part of the newly readjusted canon. Here are the specifics, via a press release: 
The Max Original series PEACEMAKER from DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television, created for television by James Gunn and starring John Cena, returns for its eight-episode second season THURSDAY, AUGUST 21 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Max.
Season 2 logline: The new season follows Christopher “Chris” Smith, aka Peacemaker, the vigilante Super Hero as he struggles to reconcile his past with his newfound sense of purpose while continuing to kick righteous evil-doer butt in his misguided quest for peace at any cost.
Season 2 cast: John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick return for season two. New cast members include Frank Grillo, David Denman, Sol Rodriguez, and Tim Meadows.
Season 2 credits: James Gunn wrote all eight episodes of PEACEMAKER and directed three, including the first episode. Gunn, Peter Safran, and John Cena serve as executive producers. Greg Mottola, Peter Sollett, and Althea Jones also direct. Based on characters from DC, PEACEMAKER is produced by Gunn’s Troll Court Entertainment and The Safran Company in association with Warner Bros. Television.
Plus, we get a little Teaser with that. Note that some Justice League characters grace the scene. They are Hawkgirl, Maxwell Lord and Guy Gardner, and even a second Peacemaker appears. None of them are giving our Peacemaker any love; all after he saved the world, too. But something tells me, they can’t keep this good man down as Season Two will no doubt prove. Check out the Teaser and get ready for PEACEMAKER on Max this August.
