John Cena's ruthlessly literal antihero got his own hilarious, heartfelt spin-off after The Suicide Squad. Here's how to watch Peacemaker in order, including where to start.
Peacemaker follows Christopher Smith, the violent, dim-witted, oddly endearing antihero played by John Cena, as he takes on bizarre missions while confronting his own demons. Spinning out of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, the series mixes gonzo action with surprising emotional depth.
James Gunn's foul-mouthed, surprisingly heartfelt series became a breakout hit, blending outrageous comedy with genuine exploration of trauma and redemption β all set to a killer hair-metal soundtrack. As a direct continuation of The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker rewards viewers who watch the film first, though its distinct voice makes it a standout entry in the DC universe.
π Release Order
Release order begins with the film that introduced Peacemaker, then continues into his solo series.
- The Suicide Squad (2021)
- Peacemaker: Season 1 (2022)
- Peacemaker: Season 2 (2025)
Peacemaker picks up shortly after The Suicide Squad, so the film and series flow together in the same order for both release and story.
π Story Chronology
Story chronology matches release order, with the series continuing directly from Peacemaker's arc in The Suicide Squad.
- The Suicide Squad (2021)
- Peacemaker: Season 1 (2022)
- Peacemaker: Season 2 (2025)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Start with The Suicide Squad to understand who Peacemaker is and how he ends up where the series begins, then watch Season 1 and Season 2 in order. The film isn't strictly required, but it greatly enriches the experience.
