Another DC TV series is coming to HBO Max and this time, it’s a direct spinoff of The Suicide Squad featuring John Cena reprising his role as Peacemaker from the upcoming sequel. In addition to Cena in the lead, filmmaker James Gunn will return to write all eight episodes of the straight-to-order show, as well as direct a number of them.
The exciting news was broken by Deadline this afternoon. Titled Peacemaker, the series will be a prequel that explores how Cena’s Christopher Smith became a gun-toting vigilante, a man who’s dedicated to peace at all costs, no matter how many people he has to kill in the pursuit of it. Gunn and Tss producer Peter Safran will serve as executive producers, with Cena himself as co-executive producer.
Peacemaker will be the second of HBO Max’s upcoming DC shows to be an offshoot of the movie universe.
