Peacemaker has proven its worth over the course of its two-season run, and it really is a formidable DCU series. Can James Gunn do any wrong? I really don't know. Now that we're at the season 2 finale, many questions abound regarding the future of Chris Smith and the rest of the 11th Street Kids.
Last week's episode found Peacemaker, with the help of his friends, breaking out of the alternate reality that turned out to be, well, Nazi. Now that he's back in his world, he has a bunch of stuff he has to answer for. Something tells me things are only going to get more complicated for the big guy.
Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Robert Patrick and Dee Bradley Baker star alongside Cena. SNL alum Tim Meadows, Frank Grillo, Sol Rodriguez, Michael Rooker and David Denman are among the season's new faces.

How to watch 'Peacemaker' season 2 with a VPN
If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with your favorite shows while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins.
VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial.
