James Gunn has hinted that fan-favorite The Suicide Squad character Weasel could appear in the second season of Peacemaker, although he could not guarantee that.

Roseanne Barr may have have played a vital role in having her classic sitcom series Roseanne revived on ABC, but was also solely responsible for its cancellation.
