Following the premiere of Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 7, next week will bring the Season 2 finale, which directly sets up Man of Tomorrow.
According to Peacemaker showrunner and DC Studios co-head James Gunn, the Season 2 finale will explore alternate Earths and directly lead into the upcoming Man of Tomorrow.
Speaking to The Ringer-Verse, Gunn said, “I want to make sure that people can pick up and watch something without having to see something before it… That said, Episode 8 [of Peacemaker] is as important to Man of Tomorrow as anything.”
Gunn recently confirmed that the Peacemaker Season 2 finale will be 1 hour long and teased huge surprises, including DCU cameos.
