HBO Max & DC Comics Bring Peacemaker Season 2 and ‘PeaceFest’ To SDCC
HBO Max is heading to San Diego this month with ‘Peacemaker’, from DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television. Beginning Thursday, July 24, HBO Max will host Peacefest, an immersive fan experience inspired by Peacemaker’s chaotic, glam rock–fueled world. The festivities will continue with a panel in Hall H, where showrunner/writer/director and Co-Head of DC Studios James Gunn and the cast of PEACEMAKER will share new details about the upcoming season and premiere the global trailer for season two.
“We’re always looking for new ways to bring fans closer to the series they love, and these immersive experiences for PEACEMAKER do just that,” said Pia Barlow, Executive Vice President, Originals Marketing, HBO and HBO Max. “From the wild, unapologetic chaos of Peacefest, we’re excited to give fans a small taste of what’s to come.”
Below are the full details for the PEACEMAKER events:
