Overview

  • Peacemaker Season 2 premiered August 21 on Max, with new episodes rolling out weekly on Thursdays.
  • Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. is now leading A.R.G.U.S., probing a dangerous portal and intent on bringing in Peacemaker after his son’s death.
  • Flag Sr. has already appeared across the rebooted DCU in animation and film, with Grillo describing the role as the franchise’s connective tissue in the Nick Fury mold.
  • Grillo says Gunn told him a major, undisclosed DC project is coming that will feature him heavily, a tease echoed by Gunn asking him to keep his current look for continuity.
  • Grillo recounts panicking over the show’s expanded dance opening and a set prank riffing on his 1990s soap role, as he also readies Tulsa King’s September 21 return and an October start for Season 4 production.
