Chris Smith and Emilia Harcourt Steal the Spotlight in Peacemaker Season 2 Finale
One of the most praised elements of the Peacemaker Season 2 finale was the evolving relationship between Chris Smith (Peacemaker) and Emilia Harcourt. Their storyline reached a heartfelt and authentic conclusion, highlighted by a poignant scene where Emilia confesses the significance of their shared night. This emotional payoff was a high point in the finale and was elevated by James Gunn’s direction, which gave the characters a genuine and earned moment amidst the chaos.
Despite the episode’s nearly hour-long runtime, the focus on Chris and Emilia was not enough to cover the lack of resolution in other story arcs. While their relationship provided a much-needed emotional anchor, many fans felt the rest of the episode leaned more towards setting up future seasons rather than wrapping up existing narratives.

Missed Opportunities and Unresolved Plotlines
The finale’s major drawback was its failure to resolve several key storylines. For example, Rick Flag Sr., portrayed by Frank Grillo, took an abrupt turn into villainy, confusing viewers familiar with his previously complex and sympathetic portrayal in Creature Commandos. His alliance with Lex Luthor’s old command center felt sudden and underdeveloped.
Moreover, the subplot involving Adebayo’s marital issues received rushed treatment, leaving viewers wanting more depth and closure. The Nazi planet storyline—a significant element earlier in the season—also remained unexplored in the finale, adding to the overall sense of incompleteness.
The introduction of Checkmate, the super-spy organization, was another underwhelming moment. The lack of proper buildup made its emergence feel forced rather than a natural progression of the story.
A Setup for the Future, But Not a Strong Ending
The Season 2 finale of Peacemaker served more as a prologue for upcoming DC Universe (DCU) projects than a satisfying conclusion to the current season. While some fans appreciated the emotional beats and character moments, the overarching narrative felt fragmented and incomplete. Instead of tying loose ends, the episode created more questions, leaving audiences anticipating what lies ahead rather than feeling fulfilled by what just concluded.
Will Peacemaker Season 3 Happen?
With the finale ending on a cliffhanger and many threads left open, the question on everyone’s mind is whether Peacemaker will return for a third season. As of now, HBO has not officially renewed the series. However, showrunner James Gunn has hinted at the possibility of more to come. In a recent interview with Deadline, Gunn teased that the story of the 11th Street Kids and other characters might continue, though he was careful not to confirm a traditional Season 3.
He remarked: “You’re gonna find out more in episode 8 because it’s not necessarily that. Some of these characters will continue, but also, it’s not exactly Peacemaker 3. I’m not ruling it out. You’ll see (episode) 8 and maybe you’ll find out a little bit more.”
