James Gunn and John Cena released the official red-band trailer for Peacemaker Season 2, giving fans a loud, violent, and vulgar preview of what’s coming next.
Peacemaker Season 2 Gets Even Messier
The red-band trailer lives up to the rating. It opens with Cena and Gunn laughing about the freedom to drop F-bombs, and the show wastes no time doing just that. There’s blood, screaming, sexual awkwardness, and gross-out humor—everything you’d expect from Peacemaker, amplified.

Peacemaker Faces New Enemies and Old Trauma
Chris Smith is still trying to become a “real hero,” but things don’t get easier. The trailer shows him hunted again, this time with Frank Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. still in the picture and dimensional portals hinting at multiverse chaos. One sequence suggests an alternate version of Peacemaker might exist—and could be a problem.
