The other episodes have been directed by Greg Mattola, Althea Jones, and Peter Sollett. The show has been produced by the James Gunn's Troll Court Entertainment and The Safran Company in association with Warner Bros. Television, as per The Hollywood Reporter.

The first season came out in 2022, as a spinoff of Gunn's hit film, 'The Suicide Squad.'

Honestly, I found the first season a bit too violent for my taste. But I appreciate how James Gunn brings depth to these anti-hero characters. Maybe season 2 will tone down the gore and focus more on Peacemaker's emotional journey?

DC is finally getting its act together under Gunn! As an Indian comic fan, I'm excited to see how they'll connect all these shows. Maybe we'll get an Indian superhero cameo someday? 🤞 The posters look dope though!

That opening scene with Green Lantern sounds hilarious! John Cena's comedic timing is underrated. I hope they keep the same quirky energy from season 1. The DC universe needs more shows like this instead of those dark, brooding ones.

As much as I love Peacemaker, I wish DC would focus more on their Indian audience too. We've got amazing mythology that could make for great superhero content. But for now, August 21 is marked on my calendar! 🗓️

The first season's soundtrack was 🔥! Hope they maintain that energy. Also curious to see how this connects with the new Superman movie. DC's shared universe is getting interesting after all those flops.
