DC Studios Shares Update Multiple Upcoming TV Series

When it first came out in 2022, Peacemaker was a big hit. Christopher Smith was one of The Suicide Squad's biggest jerks, but in his spin-off TV show, he made things right and became a hero (sort of). Before Waller's expected Max debut, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn already said the character would be back in a second season. But because of the strikes in Hollywood last year, we don't think Smith will make his DCU appearance until at least late 2025 or early 2026.

The director told fans on Threads that Peacemaker season 2 is now "over halfway written" and that it's the only other project he's working on besides getting ready for Superman: Legacy. This is good news for fans who want to see the character come back, but it's still not clear how involved Gunn will be with the show. He should be able to direct at least a few shows if filming doesn't start until he's done with the long-awaited return of the Man of Tomorrow to the big screen, but we'll have to wait and see.

The head of DC Studios also gave a short report on the Lanterns TV show, saying that he can't say anything more in public "just yet." We hope that news is on the way.
