With her diverse repertoire, including appearances in Freeform’s Party of Five reboot and the ABC Signature/Lifetime series Devious Maids, Rodriguez brings a wealth of talent and experience to the Peacemaker universe.
Joining the ranks of this star-studded ensemble is actor David Denman, recognized for his memorable portrayal of Roy in NBC’s The Office and his involvement in the Gunn-produced feature Brightburn. Following the resounding success of its inaugural season in 2022, Peacemaker Season 2 is poised to further elevate the genre, infusing it with a potent blend of humour, action, and audacious storytelling.
As part of a new universe crafted by Gunn and his DC Studios partner James Safran, the upcoming season will also witness the addition of Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr, expanding the rich tapestry of characters and narratives within the series.
