The sophomore season of Peacemaker enlists new talent from iconic shows.
Sol Rodríguez of Star Trek: Picard fame and David Denman, known for his role in The Office, are officially part of the Peacemaker Season 2 lineup. These casting details were formerly reported by various sources and have since been validated by James Gunn, the chief of DC Studios, on his Instagram account.
Alongside a screenshot of The Hollywood Reporter’s casting coverage for the series’ second season, Gunn expressed his enthusiasm, posting, “True! Welcome to the DCU, [Sol Rodríguez] & [David Denman]!” Additionally, Gunn confirmed his directorial involvement for three episodes, including the season premiere.

Denman’s character specifics are still under secrecy. He is widely recognized for portraying Roy in the hit sitcom The Office. Rodríguez, of Picard lineage, steps into the shoes of Sasha Bordeaux—a character with strong links to the comic book world’s Task Force X sector, Checkmate. Sasha, crafted by Greg Rucka and Shawn Martinbrough, was unveiled in the 2000 release of Detective Comics #751 as a skilled martial artist and Bruce Wayne’s appointed bodyguard, brought on board by Lucius Fox.
Who’s Joining the Cast for “Peacemaker” Season 2?
Frank Grillo is also slated to join the cast as Creature Commandos’ Rick Flag Sr., revisiting the role of Rick Jr.’s father, played by Joel Kinnaman in the 2021 film The Suicide Squad. Interestingly, Rick Jr. was killed by Peacemaker in that production. Details about how Rick Sr. will be involved in the new season are scarce, but Gunn has hinted that he will be a recurring character, dealing with “a little unfinished business” with Christopher Smith/Peacemaker.
Familiar faces returning for the second season include John Cena as Christopher Smith/Peacemaker, Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase/Vigilante, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, and Steve Agee as John Economos.
While the initial season of Peacemaker was set in the DC Extended Universe, the forthcoming second season will transition into the DC Universe with the premiere of Creature Commandos later this year. Gunn assured that while Season 1 may not align entirely canonically with the DCU, elements of Peacemaker’s narrative will persist.
Production for Peacemaker Season 2 is underway, but the release timeline remains undisclosed. Fans can enjoy the first season on the streaming service Max.
