What To Expect This Season

Season 2 picks up with Peacemaker still on his chaotic quest for peace—by any means necessary. 

But this time around, he’s dealing with even more baggage from his past while trying to stay true to his new sense of purpose.

It’s giving redemption arc with extra explosions.
