‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 Debut Still Set For August; ‘Waller’ Spinoff In Works But It’s Been “Tough”, DC Bosses Say
deadline.comDC Studios co-chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran emphasized that the release date for Season 2 of the hit Max series Peacemaker is still on track for August.
Meanwhile the other Suicide Squad spinoff series, Waller, starring Oscar winner Viola Davis as the amoral U.S. government espionage director who dispatches the criminal misfit Suicide Squad team on missions, remains in the works.
However, it’s been a hard road for the show. Safran explained, “We’ve taken a couple of cracks at Waller and we haven’t been able to land it.” “We’re still working on it,” said Gunn. “Waller has been tough, the strike was tough on Waller, there was a certain amount time that we needed to do Peacemaker first,” he continued.
Added Gunn, “We were going to go with Waller before Peacemaker (Season 2), but I wrote Peacemaker quickly and were ready to go.” Davis first portrayed the character of Amanda Waller in David Ayer’s 2016 Suicide Squad movie and continued to play her into Gunn’s film and TV iterations of the IP.
