Production

Development

HBO Max (later renamed Max) officially announced the second season in February 2022, with Gunn set to write and direct all episodes.[1][9] He said it would explore the repercussions, good and bad, of the first season's events.[10]

Chapter One: Gods and Monsters slate of content.[23]

Gunn said in October 2023 that the season would address its change from the DCEU continuity to the DCU continuity.[24] In March 2024, he clarified that the first season was not canon to the DCU and said the second season would be continuing from the events of Superman instead.[25] At that time, he revealed that Waller had been delayed by the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes and the second season of Peacemaker would now be made first. Production was set to take place simultaneously with Superman later in 2024, in the interest of getting the season ready as soon as possible, so Gunn was no longer able to direct all of the episodes.[26]

Writing

Gunn was writing the season by October 2023, following the conclusion of the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike,[27] and he finished writing all eight episodes by early February 2024.[28]

Casting

John Cena confirmed that he would be returning as

John Economos.[2]

Filming

Gunn said in March 2024 that filming was scheduled to begin later that year, simultaneously with production on Superman.[26] Filming began on April 13, with Gunn doing a "pre-shoot" on a Saturday to work around his Superman filming commitments. He was directing some of the episodes and had hired three other directors for the season.[29] Principal photography for the season is reportedly taking place between June and September 2024.[30][third-party source needed]

Title sequence

After the first season's opening title sequence received positive responses, Gunn said they wanted to "up [their] game" for the second season.[31] Charissa Barton returned to choreograph the second season's title sequence.[32]

Release

The season is set to premiere on Max.[1][9]
