HARLEY QUINN Spinoff Series NOONAN'S Ordered at HBO Max Will Follow the Story of Kite Man and Golden Glider
A new Harley Quinn spinoff series has been ordered at HBO titled Noonan’s. The series will follow the “lovable loser Kite Man and his new squeeze, Golden Glider, as they moonlight as criminals to support their foolish purchase of Noonan’s, Gotham’s seediest dive bar.” Matt Oberg will reprise the role of Kite Man, whom he voiced on Harley Quinn. HBO Max has given the show a 10 episode order.
The show is executive produced by Harley Quinn co-creators Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey, as well as Harley Quinn star Kaley Cuoco via Yes, Norman Productions. Sam Register also executive produces. Lorey will serve as showrunner on Noonan’s. Schumacker and Halpern executive produce under their Delicious Non-Sequitur banner. The show is based on characters from DC and produced by Warner Bros. Animation.
Suzanna Makkos, executive vice president of original comedy and adult animation for HBO Max and Adult Swim said of the announcement:
“We love the wild and fun world of ‘Harley Quinn’ so much we just had to make a spin-off and who better to center it around than the outcast Kite Man. Justin, Patrick, and Dean have created the perfect local hangout for Gotham City’s not-so-finest at Noonan’s, where bar patrons can blow off steam after a long day of mayhem.”
News of the spinoff first came out of SXSW in March, where Schumacker shared some details about the show being in development during a WB Animation panel. Are you looking forward to this series?
