Lex Luthor's Minions Resurface in Peacemaker Season 2

As of November 16th, 2025, Peacemaker Season 2 has featured a surprise appearance from Lex Luthor when the show's protagonist, Rick Flag Sr., visited him in prison. While Luthor only appeared briefly, some of his underlings, most notably Stephen Blackehart's character Sydney Happersen, have returned in the season's final two episodes.

Blackehart recently explained that Happersen's decision to help Flag Sr. track down the dimensional rifts was not out of fear of punishment from Luthor, but rather a desire to avoid disappointing the bald villain. Happersen still holds Luthor in high regard, and the prospect of letting him down was a key factor. Additionally, Happersen felt a sense of responsibility to find a new rift after the one opened by LuthorCorp's technology nearly destroyed Metropolis.
