HBO Max’s ‘Peacemaker’ is a hit, and its creator says there’s a ‘really good chance’ for season 2

28 January, 2022

HBO Max’s “Peacemaker” is a hit, so it’s no surprise that a second season is likely. The show’s creator, James Gunn, recently told Deadline that “there’s a really good chance” for season two.

“Peacemaker” — a spinoff of Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” starring John Cena — was the most in-demand original streaming series in the world as of January 22, according to the data firm Parrot Analytics. The company measures audience demand, which reflects the interest in and engagement with, or overall popularity, of a TV series. 

Gunn also told Deadline that he’s working on “another TV show that’s connected to that universe,” meaning another spinoff of “The Suicide Squad.”
