Although the second season has concluded, there is no official confirmation on the release of Peacemaker season 3 yet. While there is still much to discover about Chris's story, whether viewers will get a third installment remains unclear.

John Cena's character had some respite towards the end as his close friends came together to bring him out of his misery. While their plans to form Checkmate together stood as a hopeful development, the series ended with Chris in an unanticipated danger.

The ending twist of Chris being stuck in Salvation raises several doubts about what this could mean for the character. Varied developments in the series also bring out points that can be addressed in future DCU projects. Viewers can expect more information on season 3 soon, as there is still some clarity that fans require about the fate of the protagonist.

What could a possible Peacemaker season 3 be about?

While the official news is awaited, several happenings from season 2 have the potential to be extended for Peacemaker season 3.

The final episode showed Chris taken to Salvation by Rick Flag Sr. and other A.R.G.U.S. agents. Salvation is planned to be set up as a prison for the metahumans, and Chris being stranded there means challenges are not ending for him anytime soon. With Lex Luthor also coming into the picture, there could be more tense moments ahead if season 3 is confirmed for release.

Chris and his friends also established the covert operations agency, Checkmate, in the finale. The agency holds potential for promising developments ahead. While more points on different characters could be explored if a season 3 happens, Salvation and Checkmate remain two main aspects that hold prominence for the next installment's story.

Peacemaker season 2 has been a highly anticipated project by Gunn after the release of Superman (2025). Starring John Cena, Jennifer Holland, Danielle Brooks, Frank Grillo, Freddie Stroma, and more, the series' ending brings questions about whether the fans will be able to see them again for a third season.

James Gunn, the creator of the series, has given his take on the status of Peacemaker season 3. Speaking to Deadline, he shared:

"Some of these characters will continue, but also, it’s not exactly Peacemaker 3."

Adding to it, he mentioned in the interview:

"I’m not ruling it out. You’ll see (episode) 8 and maybe you’ll find out a little bit more.”

While his statements leave the fate of Peacemaker season 3 unclear, more unique projects and character entries can be expected in Gunn's next plans for the franchise.
