Writer and consulting producer Sarah Peters (Workaholics) will take over as showrunner for season four. Peters has been with the series since the first season.
“Three seasons down and I can’t even begin to think about the new levels of chaos and trouble that Harley, Ivy, and the gang can get into with a fourth season,” said Peter Girardi, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, Warner Bros. Animation. “But I’m grateful to our partners at HBO Max for continuing this insane ride with us so we can all find out.”
Harley Quinn is based on DC characters and was developed by executive producer Justin Halpern, executive producer Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey. Kaley Cuoco, Sam Register, Jessica Goldstein, and Chrissy Pietrosh are also involved as executive producers.
“We are ecstatic that HBO Max wants the story of Harley and Ivy to continue. And we are equally thrilled that this next season will be in great hands with Sarah Peters as our showrunner and Ceci Aranovich overseeing animation production, as they have both greatly influenced the show with their brilliance since the beginning,” stated executive producers Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker.
Commenting on the renewal, Billy Wee, Senior Vice President of Comedy & Animation, HBO Max stated: “Patrick Schumacker, Justin Halpern and their incredible team of artists and writers have created something so explosively funny and original and we are thrilled to continue this journey with them and the show’s legion of fans. It has been amazing to watch the show grow and evolve this season and we could not ask for a more talented and dedicated team of collaborators.”
Season three premiered on July 28, 2022, and will wrap up on September 15.
