Harley Quinn To Face Off Against Iconic Superman Supervillain in Season 5 of the Animated Hit

"Harlivy" is back and getting out of Gotham. Harley Quinn, the raunchy DC adult animated series continues its winning streak with the release of Season 5 on HBO's MAX. The series, led by Kaley Cuoco and Lake Bell, will see the iconic bisexual baddie couple Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy moving out of Gotham City and into the Man of Steel's hometown, Metropolis, for another season of bloody violent mayhem and bawdy comedy, sure to shake up the DC universe.

The Batman spinoff starring the Joker's love interest debuted on DC Universe, a streaming service that has since been phased out. After Season 2, Harley Quinn moved to MAX where it has continued to earn rave reviews. The series also spawned its first spin-off series Kite Man: Hell Yeah! in 2024. Now Harley and co. are returning for a fifth season.

What will Harley Quinn Season 5 be about?

Per the official MAX synopsis, “The fifth season of Harley Quinn finds Harley (Kaley Cuoco) and Ivy (Lake Bell) in a new location: Metropolis—the home of all things Superman, Lois Lane, and the Daily Planet. Harley and Ivy discover that something sinister is at play and all is not what it seems. Looming threats include Lex Luthor and his sister, Lena Luthor, plus fan-favorite Brainiac. But of course, Harley’s crew of misfits and allies will join her on this irreverent journey that takes no prisoners in having fun in the DC sandbox.”
