With James Gunn's 'Peacemaker' set to end on February 17, one of the popular questions is if it will have a Season 2. While the plan was to always have Chris Smith (John Cena), the peace-loving maverick tell his story in the form of a miniseries, it does appear that the plotline does pave the way for a potential second installment.

Episode 7 of 'Peacemaker' sees the first death of the series and is an emotional affair. Gunn's writing has been thoroughly incredible and the group dynamic changes drastically over the course of the 39-minute blockbuster as they plan to stop the alien invasion after Murn's death brings them all together.

Will 'Peacemaker' have a Season 2?

One of the breakout stars of the show, Jennifer Holland who plays Emilia Harcourt hinted at a complete closure of the series, In an interview with TV Line, she shared on two cents on the series future saying there was no clear idea of a Season 2 while writing Season 1. "To some degree, I think the way that James approached Season 1 was that he wanted to make sure that the story was a complete one. He's a writer of films, mostly; this is his first foray into writing an episodic series, so there's a well-rounded story involved," she explained.

"There might be, you know, hints to other things, but I don't know that he had any clear idea that there would be a Season 2 when he wrote Season 1. I think there's always the hope that [Season 2's] going to happen, but there's never really any conversation about it until you know how it's being received."

Holland also remarked: "I also don't think James wanted to lock himself into doing anything because if it wasn't received well, it would make him really sad to have to continue on with a series that he loved but people didn't really like. But I will say this: Some crazy s–t happens in Episode 8!"

That may have been a subtle tease that one of the key characters might get their own origin stories as well. But for now, all the audience must get ready for a slam-bang finale.

 The finale drops at 12:01 am PT, 3:01 am ET on February 17 on HBO Max.
