Ahead of tomorrow's series season finale, HBO Max has renewed Peacemaker for a second season! James Gunn will be writing and directing each season 2 instalment, meaning Jody Hill, Rosemary Rodriguez, and Brad Anderson won't be stepping back behind the camera. There will also presumably be something of a wait, as Gunn is currently helming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

"Creating Peacemaker has been one of the true highlights of my life, both professionally and otherwise, with John Cena and the incredible creative team around me, as well as our partners at HBO Max," Gunn says. "To have something we all love so much be loved by the audience in turn has been a wonderful experience. I can’t wait for folks to see where Team Peacemaker goes in season 2."

Lead star John Cena adds, "I am incredibly honored and humbled by the response to Peacemaker and the experience of playing this character. Thank you to James Gunn, Peter Safran, HBO Max, the crew, and my castmates who worked tirelessly to make this unforgettable series."

HBO Max hasn't sent the season one finale to press, so there will clearly be some big surprises (likely setting the stage for the next batch of episodes). It's unclear if this is the show Gunn has previously suggested he might be working on for the streamer or if he intends to continue expanding Task Force X's world on the small screen by bringing back characters like Bloodsport and Ratcatcher 2.

Either way, we're very excited for more Peacemaker after those stellar first seven episodes, and we'll be sure to keep you updated tomorrow with a breakdown of all the big reveals from that season finale.

We can't wait to see what the opening credits look like...

@MrDandy - Honestly don’t get the love for it. I like the show but always found the intro pretty cringe

wonder how they will update the intro

seems like something that could easily become overblown and loose the charm of the first intro

@MUTO123 - wonder how shyamalan will suck out their talent

@dracula - You never know. Even in the worst M. Night movie, there's usually at least one or two actors who can rise above the bullshit and give a solid performance, or at the very least get in and out without embarassing themselves.

imagine if they introduce beetle, captain atom, nightshade and question and at some point do a watchmen like story, probably wouldnt kill peacemaker though

@dracula - Hope not.
The reason why they are giving James Gunn complete creative freedom is because they are giving him Z-list characters, they wouldnt let him kill Captain Atom, or have Beetle being on a threesome.
