The wait is nearly over for Peacemaker fans as Season 2 barrels toward its climax. Episode 7, titled "Like a Keith in the Night," drops on Max this Thursday, October 2, 2025, at 6 p.m. PT or 9 p.m. ET. That's the standard time for the series, keeping viewers on a tight schedule week after week. Indeed, with the show's blend of over-the-top action and sharp humor, this penultimate installment promises to ramp up the stakes after last week's multiverse twist.
James Gunn's return to the helm has kept the momentum going, but not without some uneven pacing in spots. Season 2 clocks in at eight episodes total, a solid run that mirrors the first season's structure. So far, we've seen six drop already, each one peeling back layers on Chris Smith's chaotic life. Episode 7 should tie into that Earth-X revelation, pushing the team toward whatever Gunn has cooked up for the finale. However, the quick turnaround between episodes leaves little room for breath—almost too relentless, if you ask me.
For those tuning in late, new episodes hit Max in the U.S. right on time, while international viewers might catch it a day later on platforms like Sky in the UK or Binge in Australia. The schedule has been consistent: Thursdays at that prime evening slot, no major delays reported despite the buzz around DC's evolving universe. Moreover, with John Cena anchoring the absurdity, it's hard not to root for Peacemaker's redemption arc, even as it veers into darker territory.
Critics have noted the season's tighter focus on character interconnectivity, drawing from Gunn's outline that emphasizes personal fallout over pure spectacle. Still, eight episodes feel just right—not too dragged out, yet enough to build real tension. As this chapter unfolds, one can't help but ponder how it all fits into the broader DC tapestry.
