James Gunn has announced the completion of filming for the second season of HBO's superhero series 'Peacemaker.' DC Studios co-head shared the news on social media, marking the end of production in Savannah, Georgia.

The final day of shooting included scenes with cast members Steve Agee, Tim Meadows, Sol Rodriguez, and Brandon Stanley. This follows the earlier wrap of principal stars John Cena, who plays Christopher Smith/Peacemaker, and Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt.

The new season welcomes Frank Grillo to the cast as Rick Flag Sr., a character Gunn describes as "morally complex." Grillo previously voiced the animated version of this role in Max's 'Creature Commandos' series.

Holland took to Instagram to reflect on her experience, expressing gratitude for the cast, crew, and Gunn's storytelling. She hinted at new character developments for Emilia Harcourt, describing her as "a beautiful, tortured soul" in the upcoming season.

The production, which spanned ten months, was filmed in Savannah, Georgia, with Gunn praising the local community for their hospitality. The director also teased the introduction of a mysterious new character, sparking fan speculation about potential DC Comics characters joining the series.

'Peacemaker' Season 2 is scheduled to premiere on Max in August 2025, with a teaser trailer already released by HBO and Warner Bros. Discovery.
