DC’s Peacemaker is still airing its first season on the screens. Meanwhile, the makers announced that the show will be revived for a second season. The current creator James Gunn will lead the direction for this season as well. Other than this, DC is set to bring more spin-off shows based on hit concepts and characters from Batman and Arrowverse.

Justice League Dark
Justice League Dark will feature a team of Superheroes with shady personas as suggested by the name. The show will be a live-action adaptation of DC’s comic. Moreover, JJ Abrams and Ben Stephenson are the executive producers of the show. The show will most probably feature DC superheroes like John Constantine, Deadman, Madame Xanadu, and Zatanna.
Constantine
The show will be a spin-off series based on the previously mentioned Justice League Dark. It’ll most probably feature an individual character from the Justice League Dark show.
