‘Harley Quinn’ Renewed for Season 5 at Max
There’s plenty more to come from one of Max‘s hit original animated series.
The streaming service has renewed Harley Quinn for a fifth season. The news comes two months after the fourth ended and after Max announced an animated spinoff, Kite Man: Hell Yeah!, will debut in 2024. In it, Kite Man and Golden Glider take their relationship to the next level by opening a bar in the shadow of Lex Luthor’s Legion of Doom.
“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,” executive producers Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey said in a statement.
