The Last of Us Season 2 and Peacemaker Season 2 Get Promising 2025 Release Updates from HBO Boss, and They’ll Arrive Sooner Than I Expected
- HBO chief Casey Bloys has narrowed down the launch windows for the highly anticipated duo
- The last of us season 2 will be released in early 2025, Bloys revealed
- Peacemaker Season 2 will also be released in August, HBO’s CEO added
HBO boss Casey Bloys has provided some exciting release updates for two of the studio’s most anticipated TV shows.
Speaking at an HBO event, which was attended by, among others, the press IGNBloys answered numerous questions about the company’s upcoming series of shows. One of the questions Bloys was asked was when the audience could expect the film The last of us season 2 and Peacemaker season 2 make their debut. And while Bloys wasn’t directly quoted by IGN or his siblings, IGN reports that he was more than happy to provide some telling updates on the pair’s upcoming releases.
Discuss The last of us‘ first back, Bloys told the assembled press that the hugely popular post-apocalyptic drama would take place sometime in the spring of 2025 (that’s autumn for non-residents of the Northern Hemisphere). That’s a narrower launch window than I previously reported — in mid-September, Bloys even said that one of the second seasons of the top Max shows would air in the “first half of 2025.”
As for Peacemaker Season 2, Bloys was more forthcoming about an actual release month for the DC Cinematic Universe (DCU) TV show. The comic book-inspired series starring John Cena will debut on Max in August (at least in the US), according to Bloys, meaning the film will be released a few weeks after James Gunn’s. Superman film flies into theaters.
Of Peacemaker‘s second season in the final stages of its filming schedule, plus the fact that 2025 ‘s Superman flick will lead directly into the show’s next outing, it makes sense that the two DCU Chapter One projects would launch close to each other. For what it’s worth, DC Studios co-head James Gunn didn’t take to social media to refute what Bloys said. Given that Gunn is quick to dismiss rumors and other falsely reported news, it appears there is more than a grain of truth in Bloys’ comments about Peacemaker 2.

The duo’s release window updates come on the heels of a ‘new in 2025’ Max trailer, featuring Peacemaker first images from season 2 and new clips from The last of us season 2. On the latter side, there was a new, albeit quick glimpse of Pedro Pascal’s Joel interacting with Catherine O’Hara’s unnamed character, which debuted alongside previously seen clips from season 2. Meanwhile, the first scenes are out Peacemaker 2 showed the titular character raising a glass with his 11th Street Kids crew, plus a first look at Rick Flag Sr. by Frank Grillo, who is expected to be the series’ new antagonist.
Before making his live-action debut in PeacemakerGrillo’s Flag Sr. will be seen in animated form as part of Creature commands. The first project to arrive as part of Gunn’s rebooted DC film franchise will launch on Max (US), aka one of the world’s top streaming services, with a two-episode premiere on December 5. It is expected to debut on Sky/Now TV (UK) and Binge (Australia) also around the same time.
It may take a while before an official trailer is released Peacemaker season 2 has been released, but we’ve received a disturbing teaser for it The last of us Second episode of the TV program at the end of September. As someone who played Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part IIon which the second chapter of the series is based, I’m also not ready to have my heart broken again.
