What does Harley Quinn love about Valentine’s Day? It’s the only day when there’s a built-in excuse for doing cheesy sh*t for your partner. (Her words – not mine!) HBO’s critically acclaimed adult animated comedy Harley Quinn will air a special love-themed episode in honor of the most romantic day of the year, according to candy companies and greeting card sales. Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day Special will stream a few days prior to the holiday it’s celebrating, premiering on HBO Max on Thursday, February 9, 2023.
The streaming service offered this description of the special:
“As Harley goes to obsessive lengths to ensure that her first Valentine’s Day with Ivy is the best ever, Bane’s efforts to impress an unexpected date go horribly awry. Meanwhile, after an unfortunate online dating encounter, Clayface engages in some self-love.”

A Look Back at the Season 3 Plot:
In season three of the biting and uproarious adult animated comedy series, Harley Quinn (Cuoco) and Poison Ivy (Bell) wrap up their “Eat. Bang! Kill. Tour” and return to Gotham as the new power couple of DC villainy. Along with their ragtag crew – King Shark (Funches), Clayface (Tudyk), Frank the Plant (Smoove) – “Harlivy” strives to become the best version of themselves while also working towards Ivy’s long-desired plan of transforming Gotham into an Eden paradise.
