When Does ‘Peacemaker’ Finale Come Out? How to Watch Last Episode of Season 2

The wait is almost over for fans of John Cena’s anti-hero series. The ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 finale is set to release on Thursday, October 9, 2025, streaming exclusively on HBO Max at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT. The explosive conclusion will wrap up the show’s latest chapter as Chris Smith faces his most difficult choices yet.

Created by James Gunn, “Peacemaker” expands the story of the character introduced in DC’s 2021 film “The Suicide Squad.” The series explores the journey of a deeply flawed man obsessed with achieving peace at any cost — even if it means bloodshed. After a high-stakes season, the finale promises emotional depth, multiverse chaos, and life-changing decisions for its characters.

‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 Finale Release Date and Time

Fans can catch the final episode of ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 on Thursday, October 9, when it drops on HBO Max at 9 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) / 6 p.m. Pacific Time (PT). Like previous episodes, it will be available for streaming exclusively on the platform.

The second season began airing on August 21, 2025, with new episodes released weekly. In total, the season consists of eight episodes, all written by James Gunn. The finale marks the culmination of a season that pushed Chris Smith to his emotional and physical limits.

The series remains significant for DC fans, as it was the first original DC show to debut on HBO Max. Season 2 continues the bold storytelling, mixing dark humor, explosive action, and deeper character arcs.

What to Expect in the Season 2 Finale

As the story reaches its conclusion, Chris Smith, aka Peacemaker, is at his lowest point. After landing in prison and losing the Quantum Unfolding Chamber — a powerful device that opens access to alternate dimensions — to ARGUS, Smith is consumed by guilt and self-blame.

According to the official synopsis, “Rick Flag Sr. tasks his team with searching for another dimension where he can carry out his plan.” This suggests the finale will revolve around dimension-hopping stakes and major confrontations, possibly setting up future storylines in the DC Universe.

HBO Max teased the finale with a trailer released on October 2, showing glimpses of intense battles, emotional reunions, and a hint of redemption for Smith. Whether he finds peace or descends further into chaos will be answered in the final hour.

James Gunn wrote all eight episodes and directed three, including the season premiere and the finale. His creative vision continues to shape “Peacemaker” into one of DC’s most distinctive shows.

Will There Be a ‘Peacemaker’ Season 3?

While HBO Max has not officially announced a renewal, James Gunn has hinted in interviews that he intends to continue Peacemaker’s story. The multiverse concept introduced this season, along with unresolved character arcs, leaves plenty of room for a potential Season 3.

Fans may need to wait a little longer for confirmation, but given the show’s strong reception and Gunn’s growing role in shaping DC Studios’ future, more Peacemaker content is likely on the horizon.

The countdown is on. The final episode of “Peacemaker” Season 2 arrives October 9 — and with it, answers, revelations, and a finale that could redefine the future of the DC Universe.
