Gunn is set to write the series and direct multiple episodes, including the pilot. HBO Max has ordered eight episodes, and it’s described as an action-adventure comedy. While the exact plot of the series is being kept under wraps, we know it will explore the origins of Peacemaker, “a man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it.”
The Suicide Squad is scheduled to hit theaters on August 6th. We don’t know when the series will be released on HBO Max.
