What can you expect from Peacemaker Season 2?

The first season showed the Peacemaker shed his childhood trauma, inflicted by his father, August Smith, who becomes White Dragon. After a long wait, he fought his old man with the help of Vigilante and Economos.

Otherwise, Chris had to deal with the influx of alien "butterflies" who were trying to take over the world. He won that battle too, with Harcourt and Adebayo's support. By the end, Adebayo questioned him about his questionable political stance. The second season will see him questioning his ethics and morality as he opens a door for other dimensions.

In the new season, Chris will have to bear the brunt of his past. He will face Rick Flag Sr., the father of Rick Flag, whom he killed during the Suicide Squad mission. Chris will also meet the Justice Gang, previously seen in James Gunn's Superman, which was set shortly before the events of Peacemaker's new season.
