Although Warner Bros. Discovery has cut quite a number of shows on Max, fans are thankful that Harley Quinn has survived. The series was renewed last year, and the new NSFW trailer for Harley Quinn season 4 debuted today at San Diego Comic-Con.
With more sex, more drama, and more Harlivy, the Harley Quinn season 4 trailer offers everything fans have been hungry for. Picking up where the third season left off, the new season will find Harley giving the superhero thing a try, although she’s clearly struggling with the Bat Family’s “no killing” policy.
“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),” reads the official synopsis. “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.“
In addition to her animated counterpart, we’ll also be seeing Harley Quinn back on the big screen, but not played by Margot Robbie. The upcoming Joker sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, will find Lady Gaga starring alongside Joaquin Phoenix, and it’s expected that she will be playing Harley Quinn. Margot Robbie has expressed her happiness that someone else is taking on the role. “It makes me so happy because I said from the very beginning is all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters,” Robbie said, “the way, like, Macbeth or Batman always gets passed, you know, from great actor to great actor.” Robbie continued, “It’s kind of like someone gets to do their Batman, or someone gets to do their Macbeth or someone, you know? And I feel like in not so many cases are there female characters.” The actress added that “It’s such an honor to have built a foundation strong enough that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors get to have a go at playing. I think she’ll do something incredible with it.“
The first three episodes of Harley Quinn season 4 will debut on Max on July 27th, followed by a new episode weekly through September 14th.
