Harlivy is coming back for another helping of raunchy action. Max has renewed the fan-favorite adult animated comedy Harley Quinn for more Gotham-set irreverent shenanigans.
Here’s more info on the series per WBD Media:
“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.”

Executive producers Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker and Dean Lorey had this to say regarding the show’s fifth-season renewal:
“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.”
The Season 4 finale introduced viewers to the Gotham City Sirens. Harley, Ivy, Catwoman (Sanaa Lathan) and Barbara Gordon (Briana Cuoco) decided to form a new crew in the wake of Harley departing the Bat Fam and Ivy leaving the Legion of Doom. Meanwhile, Jim Gordon (Meloni) tortured Joker for paralyzing Barbara, and Talia al Ghul (Aline Elasmar) resurrected Nightwing (Harvey Guillén), who had vengeance (and Harley) on the brain.

Recently, Max announced the Harley Quinn animated spin-off, Kite Man: Hell Yeah!, as a new series slated for a 2024 debut. The show follows Kite Man (Matt Oberg) and Golden Glider (Cathy Ang) as they run Noonans, Gotham’s seediest dive bar.
I’m so tickled we’re getting more Harlivy adventures. This series boasts heart and cheeky humor and is bolstered by stellar vocal performances. I can’t wait to see what Season 5 has in store.
