How the Peacemaker Season 2 Trailer Bridges the DCEU and DCU

According to James Gunn, Peacemaker Season 2 will explicitly address the continuity shift from the DCEU to the newly established DCU. Previously, the first season spun off from 2021’s The Suicide Squad and existed within the DCEU timeline. Now, however, the upcoming season will set a fresh tone that fully aligns with Gunn’s reimagined universe. In doing so, it will help bridge the gap between past continuity and the future of the DCU.

As a result, Peacemaker is positioned to be one of the very first shows to truly reflect the evolving DCU narrative. More importantly, it sets the stage for how future series may align with James Gunn’s broader vision. In this way, the show acts as a crucial link between what came before and what lies ahead in the new continuity.

With an explosive new trailer just days away and a cast that blends familiar faces with bold newcomers, Peacemaker Season 2 looks ready to elevate the DCU. The series returns on August 21, 2025, but fans can catch the trailer first at SDCC on July 26 during the Hall H panel.
