What’s This TV Show About?
Streaming on the HBO Max subscription service, the Peacemaker TV show was written and directed by James Gunn. It stars John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Chukwudi Iwuji, and Robert Patrick. The story explores the origins of Christopher Smith (Cena) aka Peacemaker from the 2021 film The Suicide Squad. He’s a compellingly vainglorious man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it. Other characters include A.R.G.U.S. agents John Economos (Agee) and Emilia Harcourt (Holland), sociopathic Adrian Chase (Stroma) aka Vigilante, and Auggie Smith (Patrick), Peacemaker’s racist father.
Peacemaker has been renewed for a second season which will debut (TBD). Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Unless they decide to publicize viewership, it is difficult to predict whether HBO Max will cancel or renew Peacemaker for season two. Since HBO Max isn’t ad-supported, it can take a chance on series it believes in, but sooner or later it comes down to production costs, versus viewership numbers. In this case, it appears to be a one-and-done show. I’ll keep my ears open and an eye out for news, and will update this page with breaking developments.
