Overview

• New episodes stream Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max through the Oct. 9 finale, spanning eight installments.
• Positioned as a direct follow‑up to Superman, the season folds in the Metropolis dimensional crisis as context for A.R.G.U.S. actions.
• Rick Flag Sr. leads A.R.G.U.S. and is set against Peacemaker over his son’s death, establishing the main external conflict.
• Auggie Smith’s Quantum Unfolding Chamber returns as a doorway to 99 dimensions, framed as reflective spaces rather than a traditional multiverse.
• The premiere’s revised recap swaps Season 1’s Justice League cameos for Justice Gang members to align the series with the rebooted DCU, as James Gunn returns having written all eight episodes and directed three with John Cena and the core cast back alongside newcomers Frank Grillo, Tim Meadows, Sol Rodríguez and David Denman.
