The HARLEY QUINN Animated Show Is Getting a Spinoff Series Titled NOONAN'S "Kind of Like CHEERS for Supervillains"

I’ve got some great news for all of you fans of DC’s Harley Quinn animated series. During the Not Kidding Around: Warner Bros. Animation and the Reimagining of Iconic Characters for an Adult Audience panel at SXSW, Warner Bros. announced that they are developing an animated spinoff series for HBO Max titled Noonan’s.

Harley Quinn co-creator Patrick Schumacker teased the new project saying it was in development, and he said that the series “will follow Kite Man as he buys Noonan's Bar, an infamous hangout spot for hitman and henchmen of Gotham that first appeared on ‘The Demon Annual’ in 1993 and is named after hitman Sean Noonan.”

Schumacker went on to reveal, "He tries to run the bar by himself but it doesn't turn out so easy. We have Harley and Ivy appear in the first episode, but after that we have different goons and villains appearing every episode like Lex Luthor and Bane. It will be kind of like 'Cheers' for supervillains."

I’ve enjoyed watching the Harley Quinn series, and I love this concept for a spinoff! “Cheers for supervillains”… I’m in, that sounds like it will be a lot of fun and there’s a lot of fun potential for stories, and characters to play with.

There aren’t any other details to share, but with Harley Quinn Season 3 coming out, Schumacker teased that there will be an episode that pays homage to Harley's first appearance. He said, "We have an episode that's a big love letter to Batman: the Animated Series. We even got some original backgrounds from the show that we use in the episode."

That’s awesome and something that fans have to look forward to. On top of that, Schumacker revealed that James Gunn will be making an appearance in the upcoming season. It’s explained that "He is playing himself, and is directing a movie about Thomas Wayne.”

Good times are coming for Harley Quinn Season 3!
