It's been a wild ride for DC fans since James Gunn and Peter Safran took the reins at DC Studios. With the launch of Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, the DC Universe has been rebooting and reshaping itself, and one of the few carryovers from the old DCEU is the irreverent, action-packed series Peacemaker. While Season 2 just wrapped up with a mind-bending cliffhanger, fans are already buzzing about a potential third season. Now, star Jennifer Holland has offered a hopeful update on what's next for her character, Emilia Harcourt.
In a recent chat with People magazine, Holland, who has played the no-nonsense A.R.G.U.S. agent across all 16 episodes of the series, expressed her enthusiasm for returning. "I could definitely see that happening," she said when asked about a Season 3. The actress, who is also the real-life partner of James Gunn, admitted she's eager to step back into Harcourt's shoes. "I can't wait to play Harcourt again," she shared, though she confessed she doesn't know "where we're gonna see Harcourt again." Still, she emphasized that Peacemaker is "such a cool thing to be a part of."
The Road to Season 3
As of now, no official announcement has been made regarding Peacemaker Season 3. The series, which originally debuted as part of the DCEU, was brought into the new DCU fold under Gunn and Safran's leadership. Season 2 continued the story of Chris Smith (John Cena), a.k.a. Peacemaker, as he navigated a world where his past actions have caught up with him. The season finale left viewers with more questions than answers, setting the stage for what could be an explosive third season.
The show's future is tied to the broader DCU slate, which already includes a packed lineup of films and series through 2027. With projects like Superman, The Brave and the Bold, and Creature Commandos already in motion, finding a slot for Peacemaker Season 3 may take time. But Holland's optimism suggests that the creative team is at least considering it.
Where Did Season 2 Leave Us?
By the end of Season 2, Peacemaker had fallen into an existential spiral. After losing his father and seeing his relationship with former teammate and ex-lover crumble, Chris Smith entered his father's old Quantum Unfolding Chamber—a portal to another dimension. He found himself in a world where his life isn't such a mess, but the dangers remain. Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) is still seeking revenge for his son's death, and the new director of A.R.G.U.S. has all the resources to make Peacemaker's life miserable. The season finale saw Flag Sr. teaming up with one of Metropolis' most dangerous criminals, a move that could threaten not just Peacemaker but the entire A.R.G.U.S. organization.
With so many loose ends, a third season feels like a natural next step. Holland's comments only add fuel to the fire, suggesting that Harcourt's story is far from over. As the DCU continues to evolve, Peacemaker remains a fan favorite, blending dark humor with heartfelt moments and over-the-top action. Whether or not Season 3 gets the green light, one thing is clear: the chaos is just beginning.
