Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6 Soundtrack Drops Early: See the Full Tracklist

James Gunn just did the most James Gunn thing: he dropped the Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 6 soundtrack ahead of the episode itself. If you want to pre-game before the chaos, he handed you the playlist.

What Gunn shared and where

The DC Studios co-CEO posted the update on X (yes, formerly Twitter) on September 22, 2025, linking a Spotify playlist and basically telling fans to crank it before the new episode hits.

"New songs added to the playlist to prepare you for Peacemaker Episode 6 this Thursday on @hbomax."

He also tossed in a straightforward 'Listen now' with the playlist link. Fans immediately started buzzing, swapping theories about how the tracks might line up with the episode. Inside baseball note: this is classic Gunn, who loves using needle drops as narrative punctuation.

When Episode 6 actually drops

The episode is titled 'Ignorance is Chris' and it premieres Thursday. The posted time is the usual 6 PM PT/9 PM ET on HBO Max. One line floating around lists the date as September 26, but Thursday is September 25 in 2025, so consider that a clerical hiccup rather than a stealth schedule change.

The Episode 6 tracks

• 'Little Drops of Heaven' by Pretty Maids
• 'Oh Lord' by Foxy Shazam
• 'Forever & One (Neverland)' by Helloween
• 'Presence of Mind' by Dynazty

Where the story left off

Quick catch-up: Peacemaker still follows Christopher Smith (John Cena), whose talent for ultraviolence is only matched by his deeply questionable life choices. After surviving the Suicide Squad mess and getting folded into a secret government op, Season 2 has him punching through new problems with the usual amount of trauma and guitars.

Episode 5 ended on a wild swing: Chris bailed on his usual world and stepped into an alternate dimension, which means he is now separated from Harcourt, Adebayo, and the rest of the team while he chases his superhero dreams. Big move, bigger consequences incoming.

The people making it happen

All eight Season 2 episodes were written by Gunn, who also directed three of them, including the premiere. The returning crew includes Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick. New faces this season: Frank Grillo, David Denman, Sol Rodriguez, and Tim Meadows.
