Production[]

On September 23, 2020, it was announced that HBO Max had ordered an eight-episode spin-off series of James Gunn's then-upcoming The Suicide Squad, focused on the character of Peacemaker played by John Cena. Peacemaker would begin production in early 2021, before Gunn began his work on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 for Marvel Studios.[1]

On October 9, 2020, Hollywood North Buzz reported that filming would begin in Vancouver on January 11, 2021, and would end on June 9, 2021, assuming the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic wouldn't delay production. They also reported that the working title for Peacemaker was "The Scriptures." On Twitter, James Gunn said that the timeline of when the series takes place would not be revealed until after The Suicide Squad releases on August 6, 2021, in order to avoid spoiling the film and whether or not Peacemaker lives.

On March 31, 2021, it was reported that Jody Hill had been hired to direct episodes of the series.[2]

On April 4, 2021, it was reported that Rosemary Rodriguez was also attached to direct episodes of the series.[3]

On November 8, 2020, Gunn posted on Twitter that he was beginning his mandatory two-week quarantine in Canada before production on Peacemaker started there. This seemed to imply that shooting would begin much earlier than expected.[7]

On November 11, 2020, Deadline reported that Danielle Brooks was joining Peacemaker as original character Leota Adebayo. Gunn confirmed this a few hours later on Twitter, along with the following Deadline report an hour later that Robert Patrick, Jennifer Holland, and Chris Conrad would be joining the series as Auggie Smith, Emilia Harcourt, and Adrian Chase/Vigilante respectively.[8][9]

On December 14, 2020, the Illuminerdi reported that WB was considering actress Maggie Q to play Detective Vivian Song on the show.[10] Deadline also reported that Lethal Weapon creator Matt Miller has joined the series as an executive producer.[11]

On January 15, 2021, James Gunn confirmed that filming had begun.[12]

On July 12, 2021, James Gunn announced that after 131 days, season 1 had wrapped.[13]

On September 5, 2021, Gunn confirmed in a post on Twitter that he was in the midst of editing the series.[14] On, September 22, 2022, Gunn confirmed that he had finished with the series' soundtrack.[15]

The set of Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, of which Gunn also served as director and writer, was used to film Ezra Miller's cameo as Flash.[16]
