The eighth and final episode begins with a flashback revealing what really happened between Peacemaker and Harcourt on the boat, followed by Rick Flag Sr. and his A.R.G.U.S. team investigating multiple alternate realities for a top-secret mission.
But it’s the climax that truly outdid all the wild fan theories and predictions circulating online. After the 11th Street Kids get Peacemaker out of prison, they form a new agency called Checkmate, but their happiness is short-lived.
In a shocking twist, Peacemaker is kidnapped, setting the stage for a potentially game-changing continuation. Read on to find out how Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 8 ends and what it could mean for the future of the DCU.
Peacemaker Season 2 Ending Explained: A Wild Cliffhanger
Before Peacemaker is abducted, it is revealed that Rick Flag Sr. has convinced higher-ups to implement Lex Luthor’s ambitious plan of imprisoning metahumans in an Earth-like alternate reality using the Quantum Unfolding Chamber (QUC) device. Making Peacemaker his first test subject, Rick Flag Sr. forcefully sends him into a habitable yet mysterious dimension called Salvation.
As the portal shuts, the titular anti-hero finds himself stranded in an unknown world. Soon, Peacemaker realizes he’s not alone. Distant growls and eerie voices echo around him, hinting at hidden dangers lurking in this strange new realm.
The cliffhanger ending opens up endless possibilities for the DCU’s future. James Gunn has previously teased that the events of Peacemaker will tie directly into upcoming DCU projects. This should also include the Superman follow-up, Man of Tomorrow, which is slated for a 2026 release. Beyond that, however, everything else remains tightly under wraps.

Peacemaker Season 2 Post-Credits Scene
The Peacemaker Season 2 finale includes two post-credits scenes. One post-credits scene featured in the last episode concerns the council suggesting to Rick Flag Sr. whether they should create a bug zapper-like electric fence around the Salvation, the alternate dimension where Peacemaker is now trapped. The second post-credits scene offers a lighter touch, featuring John Economos attempting to distract A.R.G.U.S. agents with a painfully bad joke, giving his teammates a chance to track Peacemaker’s exact location.
Will There Be A Peacemaker Season 3?
As of now, Peacemaker Season 3 hasn’t been officially confirmed. However, given the major cliffhanger at the end of Season 2, it seems that John Cena’s Peacemaker will return in some form within James Gunn’s DCU. Whether that happens in Peacemaker Season 3 or through upcoming DCU projects like Supergirl, Man of Tomorrow, Waller, or Lantern remains to be seen. It feels like another season could happen at some point, but for now, fans will have to wait for an official announcement.
Season 2 of Peacemaker is finally over, and I can’t say how much I love this season. Everyone acted their ass off, and we got the best cameos and best spoilers for future DCU projects. And thank you, James Gunn, for this wholesome season ,can’t wait for season 3 . #Peacemaker pic.twitter.com/jzBwrK2jHq
