One of the most-awaited superhero shows, Peacemaker Season 2, is back to continue the story of Christopher “Chris” Smith, a DC Comics hero who will stop at nothing to achieve peace, even if it means using lethal force. Following the success of Season 1 in 2022, anticipation has been sky-high. The new season promises explosive action, outrageous comedy, high-tech stunts, improvised one-liners from John Cena delivered in his signature deadpan style, and a dose of multiverse mayhem that fans won’t want to miss. For those wondering about the restful, scenic backdrops to the scenes in the trailer and the first episode, here’s a look at all the shooting locations for Season 2 of Peacemaker.
