The DC Studios show follows the Peacemaker after he saved the world from alien butterflies in the Season 1 finale. The show ends with Christopher Smith, aka the Peacemaker, sitting on his stoop next to the ghost of his racist dad, Auggie (Robert Patrick).

John Cena’s character goes through a portal to reach an alternate dimension where “the grass is greener.” His move leads to interdimensional problems. The chief of the mysterious DC Universe company - Advanced Research Group Uniting Super-Humans or A.R.G.U.S., Rick Flag Sr., is also looking for Peacemaker to avenge his son’s death.

What follows is a ride full of chaos and emotions. At one point, Chris meets his self in the parallel dimension. The show will focus on his attempts to reconcile his past actions with his new sense of purpose.
