John Cena, the actor of Peacemaker, and james Gunn, the showrunner, reported that the season finale set a new HBO Max Original series streaming record. Following his debut in 2021's The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker focuses on Cena's multifaceted hero. Cena's christopher Smith donned the chrome helmet of Peacemaker once more after his Corto Maltese mission in The Suicide Squad to bring his own brutal brand of justice to an alien conspiracy. 


Peacemaker waged off against his racist father, White Dragon (Patrick), his followers, and a race of extraterrestrial butterflies possessing humans in order to take over the Earth with the help of A.R.G.U.S Agents, fellow crimefighter Vigilante (Stroma), and his pet eagle, Eagly, as part of Project Butterfly.

Peacemaker's season 1 finale set HBO Max's record for the highest single-day release for an HBO Max Original series ever, according to both Gunn and Cena. Gunn and Cena also announced that the series' audience has increased dramatically since the first episode aired in January, with the finale's viewership up 44 percent over the series' premiere episode. Gunn praised viewers for tuning in each week to see each episode as it aired, while Cena thanked fans for their support and stated that he was already looking forward to season 2 of Peacemaker.
