"Peacemaker" season 2 is set to drop on August 21, and early reviews for the new season are all saying the same thing.

Season 2 of 'Peacemaker,' James Gunn's series about the DC Comics alt-right quasi-hero, focuses on the man underneath the bucket helmet, Chris Smith.

John Cena returns as Chris Smith/Peacemaker in the second season of the James Gunn helmed series "Peacemaker" on HBO Max.

Reviews for Peacemaker season 2 are starting to come in, but there are still three episodes that no one outside of the show has seen. James Gunn, the creator of Peacemaker, says that’s exactly how he wants it.

According to James Gunn, the last three episodes of Peacemaker season 2 are so explosive and revealing that he's not permitting any advance screeners.

Danielle Ryan of SlashFilm also gives the first five episodes a 9 out of 10, saying the brutal fight scenes, killer needle-drops and edgy jokes are still here, but Season 2 dives deeper and darker into the lives of the 11th Street Kids. Ryan says:

Peacemaker season 2's Rotten Tomatoes is record-breaking, showing how John Cena's DC return compares to season 1 and other DC movies & TV shows.
