John Cena reprises his Critics Choice Super Award-nominated role as Peacemaker, fighting for peace at any cost – no matter how many people he has to kill to get it. The hotly anticipated first series in the DC Extended Universe, HBO Max's Peacemaker picks up where The Suicide Squad movie left off, with Peacemaker returning home after recovering from his encounter with Bloodsport - only to discover that his freedom comes at a price.
Created by multi-award-winning showrunner James Gunn (The Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy), the eight-episode series also stars Emmy nominee Danielle Brooks (Orange is the New Black), Nigerian-British actor Chukwudi Iwuji (Designated Survivor, The Underground Railroad, and next year's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), Freddie Stroma (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince), MTV Movie Award nominee Robert Patrick (Perry Mason), and Jennifer Holland, reprising her role from The Suicide Squad as Emilia Harcourt. Plus, keep your eyes peeled for some 'super' cameos.
One of Rotten Tomatoes' most anticipated series of 2022, Peacemaker has a 94% critics' rating on the review aggregator, where the consensus calls the show "a bloody good time that gives writer-director James Gunn full permission to let his freak flag fly."
HBO Max recently renewed Peacemaker for a second season, while Cena is up for Best Comedic Performance at the 2022 MTV Movie + TV Awards for the role.
