The wait is over for fans of James Gunn's chaotic DC series, as Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 7 officially dropped on Max this week, pulling viewers deeper into the multiverse madness. Airing on October 2, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET—that's 6 p.m. PT for West Coast watchers—the episode clocks in as the second-to-last in what has been a tightly packed season. Indeed, the entire run consists of eight episodes, released weekly since the premiere back in late September, keeping the momentum high but testing patience with those cliffhangers.
Episode 7, titled "Like a Keith in the Night," picks up right after the shocking Earth X revelation from the previous installment. Peacemaker, still grappling with his fractured psyche, faces off against escalating threats that blur the lines between hero and villain even further. It's a pivotal moment, no doubt, as the team navigates betrayals and high-stakes action that feels both thrilling and a tad over-the-top—Gunn's signature style, after all. Moreover, the runtime pushes boundaries, clocking in around 50 minutes, packed with dialogue that swings from crude humor to surprisingly poignant beats.
For those wondering about the broader schedule, new episodes have been dropping Thursdays, with the finale set for October 9. That's just one more left after this one, wrapping up what many are calling a bolder, more interconnected chapter in the DC Universe. However, not everything lands perfectly; some plot threads dangle a bit loosely, leaving room for that final payoff or potential frustration. Still, the release timing aligns neatly with global audiences—early Friday morning in the UK and later in Asia—ensuring the buzz spreads fast.
Critics and viewers alike note how this season leans harder into character arcs, especially for John Cena's antihero, but it raises questions about where the franchise heads next in the revamped DC lineup. As the dust settles on Episode 7, one can't help but ponder if Peacemaker's peace will ever truly stick.
