James Gunn will be keeping busy inside the DC Extended Universe. Gunn previously stated that there was a “really good chance” that a second season of Peacemaker was on the way and now it’s official. This is the second project that Gunn has lined up for DC.
Not only will top star John Cena return for Peacemaker Season 2, but Gunn will direct and write all episodes. No details on how long the series order is just yet or when it will premiere.
