Harley Quinn has finally made its debut on the DC Universe streaming service. The animated series follows follows the DC Comics character as she goes on a journey of self-discovery apart from her usual love interest — the Joker.
Kaley Cuoco voices the titular character and she also serves as an executive producer alongside Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey — who also wrote the series. The voice cast also includes Sanaa Lathan as Catwoman, Ron Funches as King Shark, Alan Tudyk as Clayface and The Joker, Tony Hale as Doctor Psycho, Diedrich Bader as Batman, and Lake Bell as Poison Ivy.
On the topic of the latter; the series' creators recently confirmed that they would like to explore a romantic storyline involving both Harley and Poison Ivy eventually. However, they won't be doing that just yet nor within the first season at all, it seems.
"Without giving too much away, that was something we wanted to explore," Halpern explained to
CBR. "I won't tell you what happens. But yeah, that's certainly was of interest to us." Schumacker added:
"Yeah. I mean, we do a lot of setting the table in Season 1 of just the world of the show. If you are patient..."
"It was important for us in Season 1 to not get her out of a relationship and then suddenly get her into another one," Halpern explained. "We wanted it to just be about this self-discovery and not self-discovery in terms of how I validate myself through other people. In the first season, we sort of stay away from too much of her being romantically involved in anything."
