Music has always been a signature strength of Peacemaker, with James Gunn famously handpicking bold rock and metal tracks that perfectly capture the show’s chaotic blend of action, humor, and heart.
The recently concluded second season, once again starring John Cena as the unapologetically brash yet oddly endearing hero, takes this tradition to the next level. This time, the story dives deeper into Peacemaker’s fractured psyche and the messy consequences of his so-called heroism, all while using music as an emotional anchor.
Each episode features meticulously chosen needle drops that heighten the tension, punctuate the absurdity, and bring out unexpected tenderness in the mayhem. Below is the most comprehensive list of every song featured throughout the show so far, neatly organized by episode.
