How many episodes are in Peacemaker season 2?

Like its first season, Peacemaker season 2 consists of eight episodes. There is also a comedic Peacemaker season 2 post-credits scene attached to each episode.

Curiously, critics were only sent the first 5 episodes of Peacemaker season 2 to review, with Gunn claiming that even his publicist hasn't seen them in an effort to keep spoilers under wraps. You can find out what we made of those five early episodes in our Peacemaker season 2 review.
