Harley Quinn season 4 is officially happening, as HBO Max renews the hit animated DC show. Originally debuting in 2019 as part of the DC Universe service, Harley Quinn has since made the move to become an HBO Max original after Warner Bros. shut down the online DC service. Harley Quinn season 3 is currently airing on WB's streaming service and stars The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco as the voice of Harley Quinn. The show features a massive roster of DC characters, including Poison Ivy (Lake Bell), Joker (Alan Tudyk), King Shark (Ron Funchess), Batman (Diedrich Bader), and Doctor Psycho (Tony Hale).

Through the first three seasons, Harley Quinn has become a critically acclaimed series that is not afraid of making fun of all parts of DC history. This includes references to the Snyder Cut of Justice League, the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad, and even manifesting a James Gunn cameo in season 3. The latter came after the director made his love of the show widely known amid doubts of Harley Quinn season 3 happening. The series has maintained the status quo of delivering hilarious, well-received episodes in season 3, but questions about if Harley Quinn season 4 would be renewed continued.

Now, HBO Max officially confirms Harley Quinn season 4 is a go. The renewal comes after growing concerns that changes at HBO Max could lead to the show's cancellation. No release date has been announced. The news also comes as Sarah Peters has been named the show's new showrunner. Peters has written for Harley Quinn since season 1 and will now take over the job that series creators Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker were doing. Halpern and Schumacker will remain involved in Harley Quinn season 4.

The Harley Quinn season 4 renewal ends weeks of worry that the show could become the latest casualty from the Warner Bros. Discovery merger and a shifting focus for HBO Max. The sudden cancelation of Batgirl left many concerned about what other DC projects could be shelved. Harley Quinn season 4 was among the shows potentially on the chopping block, especially as HBO Max canceled upcoming animated shows and movies (and even removed completed ones).

It is great to see that Harley Quinn season 4 is happening at HBO Max. The show fills a unique spot in the DC lineup as an adult animated series starring one of the most popular characters. It is also a potentially good sign that the Kite Man-focused Harley Quinn spinoff show is also safe from HBO Max's cancelations. The real question now is if Harley Quinn season 4 will be able to include jokes about Batgirl's cancelation or other recent drama.
