by

James Gunn, the creator of Peacemaker, answered questions from fans on the show’s official podcast after Season 2, Episode 7 aired. He discussed how the show uses different versions of reality and shared some insights into how the characters develop. Gunn also gave a sneak peek at what might happen with Peacemaker’s mother in the future.

James Gunn knows where Peacemaker’s mom is

James Gunn responded to a fan’s inquiry about Peacemaker’s mother while on Peacemaker: The Official Podcast for Season 2, Episode 7, titled “Like a Keith in the Night.” When asked about the character’s whereabouts, Gunn stated, “Oh, I know where she is, but I’m not going to give that away.”

This comment was made during the question-and-answer segment of the podcast featuring Gunn, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Danielle Brooks, and Nhut Le. The panel discussed plot points and what it was like making the show. The episode largely centered around different universes, Auggie Smith’s journey to make amends, and Peacemaker dealing with the loss of his brother. Gunn also assured fans that the show hasn’t forgotten about Peacemaker’s mother.

During the same conversation, Gunn detailed how exploring alternate realities allows the show to broaden its storytelling. He stressed that the core of the story remains focused on Chris Smith’s past trauma and his relationships with his family. Gunn mentioned that the writers considered various possibilities for characters such as Murn and Harcourt, and connected those developments to Chris’s journey of self-discovery.

When the cast was answering questions from fans, the topic of Peacemaker’s mother arose. James Gunn explained that she was “nearly included in this season,” indicating he’d thought about introducing her but decided to hold off. He also mentioned he has a specific actor in mind for the part, hinting she could appear in future episodes or seasons. This would allow the show to delve further into Chris’s family background.

I was really hooked by the latest podcast – it dropped on October 3, 2025 – because it highlighted how Season 2 is *so* good at fleshing out the characters, even while deliberately keeping some things ambiguous. One big question mark hanging over everything is what’s going on with Peacemaker’s mother. Apparently, James Gunn is intentionally saving that storyline for later, which is both frustrating and exciting! It’s good to know he’s thinking a few steps ahead, and it leaves a lot to look forward to. You can find more details on the podcast’s website.
