Peacemaker Season 1 TV Series Details
Peacemaker is an American superhero television series created by James Gunn for the streaming service HBO Max, based on the DC Comics character Peacemaker. It is the only DC Extended Universe (DCEU) television series and a spin-off from the 2021 film The Suicide Squad. Set after the events of the film, the series further explores jingoistic killer Christopher Smith / Peacemaker. It is produced by The Safran Company and Troll Court Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television, with Gunn serving as showrunner.
John Cena stars as the title character, reprising his role from The Suicide Squad, with Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Chukwudi Iwuji, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick also starring. Gunn conceived Peacemaker after noting Cena’s strength as a dramatic actor while filming The Suicide Squad, and wrote all eight episodes while completing the film during the COVID-19 pandemic. HBO Max ordered Peacemaker straight-to-series in September 2020, and additional casting took place over the following months. Filming began in Vancouver, Canada, in January 2021, with Gunn directing five episodes. Production ended in July. Gunn chose to use hair metal songs for the series’ soundtrack, including “Do Ya Wanna Taste It” by Wig Wam for the opening titles; the title sequence features the series’ cast performing a choreographed dance number.
Peacemaker premiered on HBO Max on January 13, 2022, with its first three episodes. The rest of the series was released weekly until February 17. Each episode received higher viewership than the last, with the season finale breaking the record for highest single day viewership of an HBO Max original episode. The series has received positive reviews, with praise going to Cena’s performance and Gunn’s directing and writing. A second season was ordered in February 2022, but it has been delayed by Gunn becoming the co-CEO of DC Studios in October 2022. Work on a spin-off series, Waller, has begun as part of DC Studios’ new DC Universe (DCU).
STORY
CAST
- John Cena as Christopher Smith / Peacemaker:
A jingoistic killer who believes in achieving peace at any cost. Showrunner James Gunn described Peacemaker as a “piece of shit” and a “superhero/supervillain/[the] world’s biggest douchebag”. Gunn did not want the series to remove Peacemaker’s worst qualities, but attempted to explain some of them by exploring Peacemaker’s relationship with his father. After Peacemaker killed Rick Flag in The Suicide Squad (2021), Flag’s final words—”Peacemaker, what a joke”—have a big impact on him in the series. - Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo:
The daughter of A.R.G.U.S. leader Amanda Waller and a member of Project Butterfly. Gunn described her as a co-lead with a different political view from Peacemaker’s, and said their friendship is the heart of the series because they are the only characters that like each other despite the differences in their personalities and backgrounds. Gunn added that both characters are defined by their parents. Adebayo is an original character created by Gunn, and her first name is taken from his mother. - Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase / Vigilante:
A self-proclaimed crimefighter who looks up to Peacemaker like an older brother. Unlike his comic book depiction as a superhero, Peacemaker‘s Vigilante is a foolish sociopath, willing to kill any lawbreaker regardless of the severity of their crime. Gunn felt this approach was what a real-life vigilante would be like: “a guy who dresses up in a costume, and goes around and kills people he says are doing something wrong … he’s a sociopath, but he’s got this sort of sweet aspect to him.” - Chukwudi Iwuji as Clemson Murn:
A mercenary and the leader of Project Butterfly who reports directly to Waller. He is revealed to be a Butterfly himself called Ik Nobe Lok. Iwuji explained that the original mercenary was a bad person, similar to Peacemaker at the start of the series, but Ik Nobe Lok who possessed Murn is trying to use his body for good by stopping the rest of the Butterflies. The actor developed a backstory for Murn since he does not exist in the comics, and vocal coach Kohli Calhoun helped develop the character’s voice. - Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt:
An A.R.G.U.S. agent who is assigned to Project Butterfly by Waller. Holland was grateful for the nuances that Gunn gave the character, but was concerned that she may come across as a “cold-hearted bitch”; she was glad that the character was not received this way. Holland was able to use her background in competitive gymnastics for the character’s many fight scenes. Gunn said the television format meant the relationship that is developed between Harcourt and Peacemaker could be more nuanced than a film would have allowed, with it not being a “love relationship” but also “not not that either”. - Steve Agee as John Economos:
An A.R.G.U.S. agent who provides tactical support for Project Butterfly. Agee reluctantly dyed his beard when first portraying the character in The Suicide Squad, and was not happy to do so again for Peacemaker. This is acknowledged within the series as a running joke about his dyed beard, which Cena felt was offensive and unfunny, and showed how much of a bully Peacemaker is. It leads to an emotional scene in the first-season finale where Economos reveals why he dyes his beard, and Cena said this moment allowed Peacemaker to reflect on his actions and realize the harm he had been doing with the jokes. - Robert Patrick as August “Auggie” Smith / White Dragon:
Peacemaker’s racist father who supplies him with technology to aid his mission. Gunn said Auggie was a worse person than Peacemaker and a “lost cause”, executive producer Peter Safran described him as “Archie Bunker on steroids”, and Cena said he was the only character in the series who does not have a character arc and journey. Gunn noted that portraying a racist character was a delicate subject and something that HBO Max expressed some concern about. The White Dragon is not Peacemaker’s father in the comics but it was always Gunn’s intention to make that change when he added Peacemaker to The Suicide Squad.
PRODUCTION
Development
While completing work on The Suicide Squad (2021) in August 2020, during a COVID-19 lockdown, writer and director James Gunn began writing a spin-off television series centered on the origins of Peacemaker, a character portrayed by John Cena in the film. Gunn said he did this “mostly for fun”, and mentioned the idea to The Suicide Squad producer Peter Safran as something he would like to pursue. When DC Films later asked Safran about developing a spin-off series based on The Suicide Squad he knew that Gunn would say yes to making a Peacemaker series. There were initial discussions about what platform the series should be released through, with the pay television channel HBO and the streaming service HBO Max being two options. The series ultimately went to HBO Max, and Gunn felt this was because it was a new streaming service that needed content and was willing to give Gunn the budget he wanted for the series. DC Films president Walter Hamada later explained that the studio was working with the filmmakers of all its upcoming film slate to try create interconnected spin-off television series for HBO Max based on those films.
HBO Max ordered Peacemaker straight-to-series in September 2020, with Gunn writing all eight episodes of the first season and directing five of them. Gunn and Safran were set as executive producers, with Cena as co-executive producer. The series is produced by Gunn’s Troll Court Entertainment and The Safran Company in conjunction with Warner Bros. Television. Matt Miller joined as an additional executive producer in December. In August 2021, Gunn said he wanted to make a second season and was committed to doing so if the series was renewed. He reiterated this after the series premiered in January 2022, despite he and Cena not yet having deals to return for a second season and Gunn wanting to take a break after a busy few years. Gunn did not formally agree to make a second season until he had worked out what he wanted the overall character arcs to be, as he and Cena did not want to agree to something that they would not love to make. HBO Max officially announced the second season in February, with Gunn set to write and direct all episodes. He said it would explore the repercussions, good and bad, of the first season’s events.
Discovery Inc. and Warner Bros.’ parent company WarnerMedia merged in April 2022 to become Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), led by president and CEO David Zaslav. The new company was expected to restructure DC Entertainment and Zaslav began searching for an equivalent to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to lead the new subsidiary. After the surprise cancellation of DC’s Batgirl film by WBD in August, Gunn said the second season of Peacemaker was “safe”, and would begin filming in 2023. Gunn and Safran were announced as the co-chairs and co-CEOs of the newly formed DC Studios at the end of October 2022. A week after starting their new roles, the pair had begun working with a group of writers to develop an eight-to-ten-year plan for a new DC Universe (DCU) that would be a “soft reboot” of the DCEU. Gunn and Safran said some cast members would return from The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker in the DCU, and a “rough memory” of those events would remain. Because Gunn was busy with his new responsibilities, the second season of Peacemaker was put on hold by January 2023. In February, Gunn confirmed that the series was not cancelled and said work on Peacemaker‘s second season would continue following the spin-off series Waller.
