Good news, Harley Quinn fans: the show has just been renewed for a fourth season. The announcement is official as it comes straight from the show’s official Twitter account. Posting an image of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy looking thrilled, the tweet reads, “You asked and HBO Max answered, ya girl is getting a SEASON 4!”
The series was developed for DC Universe by Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey; after two seasons, it made the move to HBO Max. It features the voice talents of Kaley Cuoco, Lake Bell, Alan Tudyk, Ron Funches, Tony Hale, Jason Alexander, J. B. Smoove, Matt Oberg, and Christopher Meloni.

Harley Quinn picks up after the popular supervillain finally calls it quits for good with the Joker. Looking to make a name for herself when she’s out from under the Joker’s shadow, Harley teams up with some of Gotham City’s other underappreciated supervillains with the hopes of joining the Legion of Doom. The show has also further explored the relationship between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, dubbed Harlivy, and it’s clear that there won’t be any going back to the Clown Prince of Crime.
“For me, we still have the occasional fan reaction of ‘I don’t like Harley and Ivy together. She should get back with the Joker,’” Schumacker told AV Club in July. “Which we’re never going to do. Harley and Ivy will never break up in the series as long as we have a say. That’s something that we never want to touch again.”
The Harley Quinn World Continues to Expand

It was already clear that the show’s creative team want Harley Quinn to stick around on HBO Max for as long as possible. In a separate interview with TVLine, Schumacker said the goal was for the series to run just as long as The Simpsons, feeling that there are plenty of stories to be told in this world.
Some of those stories are already in the process of getting told outside of Harley Quinn. A spinoff series, dubbed Noonan’s, is currently in the works at HBO Max as well. The spinoff will feature Kite Man in the central role with other supervillains of the city stopping into his bar, essentially making the show feel a bit like Cheers if it starred the villains from Batman’s rogues gallery. The door is wide open for all kinds of DC characters to appear in the series.
The first three seasons of Harley Quinn are streaming on HBO Max. Season 4 does not yet have a premiere date.
