James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, has announced that there will be no Season 3 for the series Peacemaker. Instead, the character will play a larger role within the expanded DC Universe (DCU). During a press roundtable, Gunn confirmed that the conclusion of Season 2 is intended to set the stage for future projects.
Peacemaker’s Role in the DC Universe
John Cena portrays Peacemaker, who will be central to upcoming stories in the DCU. Gunn emphasized the significance of Peacemaker as an important character.

While Peacemaker won’t have a standalone third season, Gunn hinted at potential appearances in future films. The character might show up in the 2026 film Supergirl or the 2027 film Man of Tomorrow, although specific details remain undisclosed.
