HARLEY QUINN SEASON 5 GETS A MAJOR RELEASE UPDATE

The release date window for the highly-anticipated Harley Quinn Season 5 has been revealed, teasing the hit show’s impending return to Max. This comes after the DC adult-animated series’ Season 4 concluded its 10-episode run last September 2023.

After Harley Quinn’s Season 5 renewal was made official back in November, fans finally received an update regarding the target release date for the show’s next installment. According to The Direct, Corus Entertainment confirmed that Warner Bros. Animation is currently planning to release Harley Quinn Season 5 sometime this year. Should this indeed be the case, the show’s Max return could potentially coincide with the theatrical release of Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie à Deux on Oct. 4, 2024, which will debut a new version of Harley Quinn portrayed by Oscar winner Lady Gaga.

Harley Quinn was created and executive produced by Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey, with Lorey serving as the showrunner for Season 5. The adult-animated series features the voices of Kaley Cuoco as Harley Quinn, Lake Bell as Poison Ivy, Ron Funches as King Shark, JB Smoove as Frank the Plant, Alan Tudyk as Clayface/The Joker, Christopher Meloni as Commissioner Gordon, Diedrich Bader as Batman/Bruce Wayne, James Adomian as Bane, and more. In addition to Season 5, Max is also expected to debut the show’s first spinoff titled Kite Man: Hell Yeah!, which will follow the titular villain and the Golden Glider as they take their relationship to the next level by opening a bar in the shadow of Lex Luthor's Legion of Doom.

Earlier this year, Funches also shared some positive news about Harley Quinn Season 5, confirming that the next installment is still in production. "I can tell you that, last I heard, things were looking positive," he said. "So, hopefully, we'll have some official news soon. But I don't think we're done. I don't think we're done going to Harley's just yet."

What to Expect From Lady Gagas Harley Quinn?

Since making her debut in 2016’s Suicide Squad, Margot Robbie’s live-action portrayal of Harley Quinn has been an instant favorite among fans, who believed that the Barbie actor was born for the role. That’s why Lady Gaga is forging a path for her own version of Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux, despite the looming presence of Robbie’s beloved version of the villain-turned-anti-hero. "You know, Lee is very special to me," Gaga said in a previous interview. "She's a really vulnerable, sweet person. My version of Harley is mine, and it's very authentic to this movie and these characters. I don't want to give anything from the movie away. I think it's really something you have to experience in the theater."
