Peacemaker Season 2 created a buzz by locking in Oh Lord by Foxy Shazam as its official theme song. It's as wild and loud as you'd expect.

During a packed weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, DC Studios co-head James Gunn dropped the curtain on the news while fans were still catching their breath from the trailer reveal. The energy fits. The chaos matches. And honestly, the timing couldn't be better.


James Gunn pulls back the curtain on Peacemaker Season 2 anthem

Peacemaker Season 2 won't just come back with new storylines and alternate realities - it's returning with an entirely new musical roar. At Peacefest, right after unveiling the first major footage for the second season, James Gunn wasted no time getting straight to the point: Oh Lord by Foxy Shazam is now the show's theme.

Standing center stage at the DC showcase during Comic-Con, Gunn hyped the moment to the crowd. This is what he had to say before welcoming them live to perform Oh Lord:

"I am here to reveal right now - it is a song from my favorite band in the world that is objectively the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world, Foxy Shazam..."

The choice of Oh Lord taps into exactly what Peacemaker Season 2 needs: loud, unapologetic, theatrical rock energy. Gunn, known for weaving deep-cut tracks into storytelling, clearly picked this song with intention.

Later that evening, Gunn was seen vibing to the performance from a terrace above the crowd, joined by his wife and Peacemaker cast member Jennifer Holland.


A comeback band finds its moment in Peacemaker Season 2

For Foxy Shazam, Peacemaker Season 2 just gave them their most high-profile moment in years. Formed in Cincinnati in 2004, the band took a break in 2014 before reuniting in 2020. Now, in 2025, they're hitting their stride again.

Led by frontman Eric Nally, the current lineup includes Sky White, Alex Nauth, Existential Youth, Devin Williams, and Teddy Aitkins.

Their sound? Loud, offbeat, dramatic. Exactly what Oh Lord delivers. And with Peacemaker Season 2's storyline delving into alternate dimensions and emotional chaos, the song's unhinged spirit takes center stage.

The show, which premieres August 21, brings back John Cena's Christopher Smith navigating a new world after a major shift in the DC timeline. Characters from Superman. will also appear, making it bigger, darker, weirder. Oh Lord captures all of that in just one explosive track.

James Gunn's pick was more than a fan tribute - it was a signal of where this story is heading.
