One of the confirmed the DCEU movie timeline will make their way into the new franchise. One of them is the Peacemaker TV show with John Cena, as it was renewed for another season before the launch of DC Studios.
While Gunn's Superman movie is currently in production, another one of his projects will commence filming this year.

Yessss we start filming this summer! It’s gonna be so gooooood.

Will Gunn's Superman Filming Affect Peacemaker Season 2?
While it remains to be seen how Peacemaker season 2 fits into the larger DC Universe, the bigger question is what Gunn's actual involvement with the show will look like this summer. On Sunday, March 10, Gunn broke his silence following Holland's comments about Peacemaker season 2 filming in the summer, stating that, "The source is kind of iffy but this is true 😂. John Cena shared this on Howard Stern last week. To answer your follow-up questions: yes, we’ll be shooting Superman & Peacemaker simultaneously; yes, I’ve written all the episodes; but, no, in the interest of getting the show out there I won’t be able to direct them all (only some); & yes, Waller’s still happening & Jeremy & Christal are hard at work writing great stuff, but the schedule was impacted by the strikes so it’ll come after Peacemaker," meaning that while he won't direct every episode; DC Universe fans can look forward to him helming at least a couple of installments.
