The first three episodes of Peacemaker, the new DC Comics series on HBO Max starring John Cena will all debut the same date, Thursday 1/13/22. From that point on, new episodes will debut weekly. There will be eight episodes in the first season.
In September 2020, HBO Max ordered an eight-episode first season for the Peacemaker series starring Cena with James Gunn, the writer and director of Squad and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy returning to write and direct the series. The series will explore Peacemaker's background before and what happens to him after the Suicide Squad film.
In promotional material for the film, Cena has described this take on Peacemaker as a "douchey Captain America." Cena's portrayal of Peacemaker was the first ever live action incarnation of the character, a soldier and super-hero who loves peace so much he is willing to kill for it.
The character was originally created by Charlton Comics but acquired by DC in the mid-80s, mostly as a gift for the legendary Dick Giordano, who had worked on the characters before his incredible run for DC.
