It's time to limber up and prepare to dance along to Peacemaker's new title sequence. Over three years after its first season arrived, the hit HBO Max show is finally set to return to our screens – and I suspect you'll want to know when and where it will.

Below, I'll tell you the date and time it'll premiere on Warner Bros. Discovery's super streamer. I'll also explain where you can watch it where HBO Max isn't available, and run you through a full release schedule for the DC Universe's (DCU) latest project. Here, then, is everything you need to know about Peacemaker season 2's forthcoming launch.
