It may be a while before Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn comes back to cinemas (if at all), but Kaley Cuoco’s animated version is thriving on Max, and the show is gearing up for its fifth season.
Just in, a new trailer has been dropped for Harley Quinn Season 5, and it has Gotham in ruins, with Harley and Ivy deciding to move to the shining beacon of tomorrow which is Metropolis. Check this out:
Though Harley and Ivy do move to a new city, it does look like a lot of the old cast is back from Gotham with Bane, King Shark, and Clayface still hanging around. With Metropolis though, it does bring in some more familiar characters like Lois Lane, and of course, Superman.
There’s also the looming threat of Superman villain Brainiac who is always up to some kind of world-ending shenanigans. It’s even so bad that the Joker is teaming up with everyone just to stop him.
Admittedly DC is currently in a transition period with the live-action films, but the animation front has always been steady. Besides the occasionally released animated films based on comic properties, shows like Harley Quinn continue to add some more variety in DC entries with it filling the void for adult comedy shows—even Marvel doesn’t have that with all their Disney+ success.
Harley Quinn Season 5 is set to premiere on Max on Jan. 16, 2025.
