James Gunn has confirmed that there is no current plan for a third season of Peacemaker, leaving fans anxious after the dramatic events of season 2, episode 6. The series, which follows Christopher Smith, played by John Cena, took a dark turn by transporting its characters to Earth-X, an alternate dimension ruled by Nazis, intensifying the show’s tension and uncertainty.
Dark New Reality in Season 2, Episode 6
In this unsettling Earth-X world, Leota Adebayo, portrayed by Danielle Brooks, is hunted down while fleeing through a suburban neighborhood, targeted because of her race. The tension heightens when Keith, Peacemaker’s brother played by David Denman, shouts, “One got out!” as he and a hostile mob pursue her, establishing a chilling atmosphere.
James Gunn’s Insight on the Show’s Future
In an interview with Collider, Gunn addressed questions about whether Peacemaker will continue into a third season following the storylines developing in the final episodes. He stated decisively that while season 3 is not planned at the moment, the journey of Peacemaker and other characters in the DC Universe is not over.
It is not right now. I think that people should— that doesn’t mean there aren’t plans for these characters, but it’s not necessarily Season 3 of Peacemaker. And then people should watch Episode 8 to see what happens, because maybe some of your questions will be answered in that episode by itself.

What Lies Ahead for Peacemaker and the DC Universe
Although the absence of a third season creates an uneasy feeling for fans, the open door for future appearances of Peacemaker and his allies in the DCU suggests that their stories will continue to unfold elsewhere. The cliffhanger ending and Gunn’s comments imply that upcoming episodes and projects will provide further clarity about the characters’ fate and the larger narrative.
