Overview

• Two episodes are now streaming, with new chapters Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max and an Oct. 9 finale; the season premiered Aug. 21 and is also available on Jio Hotstar in India.
• Samba TV reported the Season 2 premiere drew 22% more U.S. households in its first four days than the Season 1 finale, a metric based on the firm’s proprietary sample.
• James Gunn has stated that only Creature Commandos, Superman and Peacemaker Season 2 are fully canon in the new DCU, with Season 1’s recap revised to feature Superman’s Justice Gang instead of the prior Justice League cameo.
• Episodes 1–2 establish the season’s core device involving an alternate world, place Peacemaker under A.R.G.U.S. scrutiny led by Rick Flag Sr., and lean into a TV‑MA tone with explicit adult content.
• Gunn has repeatedly teased ‘big, big stars’ appearing late in the season and has kept Episodes 6–8 from press, saying several of those installments are among his favorite work.
