Overview

  • Episode 1 arrives Aug. 21 at 9 p.m. ET, with new installments every Thursday and an eight-episode finale date of Oct. 9.
  • There is conflicting reporting on distribution, with several outlets stating the season is exclusive to HBO Max while others list a simultaneous HBO cable airing.
  • Gunn wrote all eight episodes and directed multiple entries, positioning the season to advance the new DCU’s continuity.
  • The story picks up after Superman’s Metropolis crisis and explicitly addresses Season 1 continuity issues, including revisiting the Justice League cameo’s place in the new canon.
  • John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee and Robert Patrick return, with newcomers Frank Grillo, David Denman, Sol Rodríguez and Tim Meadows, as the Quantum Unfolding Chamber becomes central without turning the season into a broad multiverse tale.
