Kaley Cuoco’s Harley Quinn has been a success throughout two totally different streaming houses, however the star/government producer is not certain what’s taking place with season 6.
Created by Dean Lorey, Patrick Schumacher and Justin Halpern, the animated collection is about in a standalone DC universe centering on its titular character who, having lastly determined to go away the Joker, begins constructing her personal empire in Gotham Metropolis. Full with Lake Bell’s Poison Ivy, with whom she ultimately develops a romantic relationship, Ron Funches’ King Shark, Tony Hale’s Physician Psycho and Alan Tudyk’s Clayface, Harley additionally begins to comprehend she might not have the identical villain desires she as soon as did when with the Joker.
Now, with practically a 12 months gone since its most up-to-date season was on the air, Cuoco is providing a brand new replace for Harley Quinn season 6. In an interview with ScreenRant‘s Ash Crossan to debate her thriller miniseries Vanished, the three-time Emmy and Golden Globe nominee confirmed that the inventive staff “have not gotten [season 6] confirmed but” by DC Studios or Warner Bros. Animation, however that everybody continues to be “actually hoping to do it“:
Kaley Cuoco: There’s a core fan base for this present and folks find it irresistible, and I inform folks too — I’m like, “You’ve acquired to observe it. It’s a number of the finest writing I’ve ever learn.” I’ll always remember once they gave me the primary episode, nonetheless a few years in the past, when the blokes had been like, “What do you consider this?” And I keep in mind studying it, and I used to be like, “Are we allowed to speak like this?” It was so racy and so insane. That has been one other complete pleasure. So if we will get six accomplished — I do know that everybody needs to do it — if we will get that accomplished, we’re going to do it. That could be a large purpose.
Cuoco went on to snort as she acknowledged having conversations with all kinds of oldsters who’ve approached her after placing the present on, by which they questioned whether or not she thought it was okay to make such a present for youthful viewers, to which Cuoco is all the time adamant in saying, “Your child can not watch this present!” and the rule is that they “have to be over 18 years outdated.”
Reflecting on James Gunn and Peter Safran taking up as DC Studios’ co-CEOs and the way it’s impacted Harley Quinn, Cuoco mentioned nothing has actually modified, calling the pair “unbelievable folks” and saying “they appear superb” as the brand new heads of the studio. She additionally indicated “that they love the present” and are simply as dedicated to discovering a path ahead for it.
Remaining hopeful that “we will get it going once more,” Cuoco was subsequently requested her ideas on becoming a member of Gunn and Safran’s DC Universe in a live-action position, be it Harley Quinn or one other character. The Emmy nominee was fast to say she’d “completely” bounce on the alternative if it was introduced to her, sharing having heard that DC Studios is “a tremendous place to work” from the folks she is aware of who’ve been concerned with the franchise to date:
Kaley Cuoco: It sounds prefer it’s a beautiful group of people that love their actors. And you’ll see a number of these folks come again. It’s an extended relationship. These individuals are not simply in a single factor. I really feel like they’re used loads and introduced again, and you must actually love the setting to do this. And I feel they present that. They present an awesome working setting. There’s a number of respect. There’s a number of love for the characters and preserving it traditional and genuine, and I actually respect that. So completely.
Harley Quinn has loved one of many extra distinctive histories on display screen for a DC undertaking, having first premiered on the since-shuttered DC Universe streaming service earlier than making the leap to HBO Max. It was joined there by fellow DC Universe titles Titans, Doom Patrol and the Younger Justice revival, whereas Stargirl moved to The CW. It is also outlasted all of these different collection, with Harley Quinn season 5 placing it past the four-season runs of the opposite titles, in addition to launching its critically acclaimed spinoff, Kite Man: Hell Yeah!.
Although her present’s standalone universe setting has largely saved Cuoco’s antiheroine separate, Harley Quinn‘s meta humorousness has seen it cross over into different DC territory on a number of events. From Matt Ryan reprising his position as John Constantine to Gunn taking part in a fictionalized model of himself within the course of of constructing a Thomas Wayne biopic, it isn’t totally out of the realm of risk for Cuoco to play Harley in a DCU undertaking, the extra seemingly being the equally animated Creature Commandos.
As for a live-action flip within the DCU, it would finally come all the way down to what Gunn is trying to do with the character. Gunn final mentioned in August 2025 that the plans for each her and Idris Elba’s Bloodsport could be revealed ultimately, with Margot Robbie additionally confirming across the identical time she had not but had any correct conversations a couple of future within the position, however could be open to doing so.
Relating to Harley Quinn‘s future, particularly, it additional appears all the way down to the soon-to-be-finalized Warner Bros. and Netflix deal whether or not season 6 will get greenlit. It is not the one present to have its future in limbo as questions of HBO Max being shuttered and rolled into Netflix persist, nor the one DC present, as Younger Justice has neither been formally cancelled nor renewed, whereas Gunn continues to prioritize his DCU and supporting Matt Reeves’ Batman Elseworlds universe. However with its historical past of success, it does appear as if Cuoco’s hopes will probably be realized ultimately.
