HBO's best and most underrated dark superhero comedy Harley Quinn is back for a third run after an excruciating wait of two years. After the second season ended in June 2020, the TV series established itself as one of the successful installments of the DC Universe, which made the wait for the third season all the more difficult.

Led by showrunners Patrick Schumacker and Justin Halpern, the animated series features a voice cast of Kaley Cuoco as Harley Quinn, Lake Bell as Poison Ivy, and Alan Tudyk as Joker. Other members of the cast include Ron Funches, Tony Hale, Matt Oberg, Jason Alexander, Christopher Meloni, and J.B. Smoove.

Premiering on July 28, 2022 at 3 AM ET, the first three episodes of Harley Quinn Season 3 will introduce viewers to the new power couple, Harlivy, who are seen returning to Gotham. The season is going to be packed with a ton of fun and misadventures as the two women take over the town.
