Harley Quinn Renewed For Fifth Season

Gotham’s favorite anti-heroine will be back for more mayhem, as Max has renewed Harley Quinn for a fifth season. The streaming service announced on Thursday that the adult animated comedy series has been renewed following its successful fourth season.

The DC Comics adaptation has become a fan favorite and drawn good business for the platform, while also scoring with the critics. A spin-off animated series titled Kite Man: Hell Yeah! was recently announced to debut next year.

“The talented Harley Quinn team has once again succeeded in delivering a season that builds on everything that has come before while still feeling fresh and inventive,” said Suzanna Makkos, Executive Vice President, Original Comedy and Adult Animation, Max and Adult Swim. “They continue to provide hilarious, heartwarming, and deranged stories with our lovable group of DC misfits, and we couldn’t be more excited for the fans to see what they’ve accomplished in season 5.”

Executive Producers Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey added in a statement, “We’re thrilled that the news of Harley and Ivy’s continuing misadventures is finally out and we can stop telling people in secret. We must have handed out at least three thousand NDAs by now. It was a big waste of paper.”

Season four was described as follows:

This biting and uproarious adult animated comedy follows Harley Quinn (voiced by executive producer Kaley Cuoco) as she strikes out on her own following her breakup with The Joker (Alan Tudyk). With help from Poison Ivy (Lake Bell) and a ragtag crew of DC castoffs, Harley attempts to work her way into the Legion of Doom, before an identity crisis sends her on a larger quest to find her true place in Gotham City. With appearances by DC’s most notorious characters and featuring a notable voice cast – including Christopher Meloni, Ron Funches, JB Smoove, Tony Hale, and others – HARLEY QUINN showcases the titular antiheroine’s killer journey from girlfriend to leading lady.
