Peacemaker is back for season 2, and it only took three and a half years to get here. John Cena once again suits up as the titular hero who is struggling to squash his toxic past while looking for where he may actually fit in the DCU superhero sphere.
But for those who remember The Suicide Squad, the man in the odd helmet (whose civilian name is Chris Smith), made an unsavory choice -- and it's still haunting him to this day. It makes you wonder: If a pocket dimension existed in your closet, would you be able to use that magical space to leave your old life and reset things at the drop of a hat?
Returning alongside Cena are Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Robert Patrick and Dee Bradley Baker as Eagly. SNL alum Tim Meadows, Frank Grillo, Sol Rodriguez, Michael Rooker and David Denman are among the season's new faces.
James Gunn, who initially created the series, took on writing duties, yet again. Each episode was written by the man who just put Superman on the big screen. No rest for the wicked, I guess.

How to watch 'Peacemaker' season 2 with a VPN
If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with your favorite shows while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins.
VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial.
ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN; the service is compatible with a variety of devices. It's typically $13 a month but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100, you'll get four months free and save 70%.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
