Fans excited for the second season of Peacemaker can finally plan their viewing parties. HBO Max has confirmed that the eight-episode season will be released weekly, starting on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 9 PM ET.
Here’s the full release schedule:
- Episode 1 – August 21
- Episode 2 – August 28
- Episode 3 – September 4
- Episode 4 – September 11
- Episode 5 – September 18
- Episode 6 – September 25
- Episode 7 – October 2
- Episode 8 (Finale) – October 9
Though the episode titles haven’t been released (aside from the rumored premiere titled “The Ties That Grind”), showrunner James Gunn has confirmed the season will feature “a major shift in tone” compared to the first. Some episodes are described as “gut-wrenching,” while others are “completely unhinged.”
The weekly drop mirrors the first season’s successful strategy, giving fans time to speculate, meme, and argue between episodes. Expect the internet to be flooded with Peacemaker GIFs, deep cuts, and conspiracy theories every Thursday night.
