HBO Max has renewed James Gunn’s DC Extended Universe action-comedy series “Peacemaker” for a second season.
Gunn and star John Cena announced the news on social media Wednesday, a day before the first season finale is released on Thursday.
Gunn wrote all the episodes for the first season but only directed some, the second season on the other hand will be entirely penned and directed by Gunn.
“The Suicide Squad” spin-off series launched in January with Cena reprising his role as the brutish-yet-charming government assassin Chris Smith/Peacemaker.
While reaction to Gunn’s ‘Squad’ film was positive but with some notable exceptions, the series has been showered with critical acclaim.
“Peacemaker” is now available on HBO Max.
That’s right, #Peacemaker is coming back for Season Two. Thanks to Peter Safran, @JohnCena, our incredible cast & crew, our wildly supportive & lovely friends at @HBOMax – and mostly all of you for watching! @DCpeacemaker pic.twitter.com/wZSZBivrDQ
