Will DC Comics show Harley Quinn air a new episode tonight on Max?

Season 4 of Harley Quinn was the show’s busiest season. While Harley was trying to be a premiere member of the Bat Family, she was dealing with villain withdrawal. This caused her to kill Nightwing in her sleep.

Meanwhile, Poison Ivy was running the Legion of Doom and becoming the most popular villain in the world. Unfortunately, it was all part of Luthor’s plan. He was actually using her as a distraction to take Superman’s powers (and his hair). Then there’s Talia al Ghul. She took Damian out of Gotham and resurrected Nightwing. Something DC Comics did for Jason Todd (Red Hood).

At the end of the episode, Harley Quinn delivers Joker to Jim Gordon. Gordon plans on torturing the Clown Prince of Crime for paralyzing his daughter. Speaking of Barbara Gordon, she, Harley, Ivy, and Catwoman are forming a team. Whether or not they’ll be the Gotham City Sirens or the Birds of Prey remains to be seen. But what awaits Harley Quinn next?

Is Harley Quinn new tonight, September 21?

Unfortunately, there won’t be a new episode of Harley Quinn tonight, September 21. Last week’s episode was indeed the season finale, meaning that Harley Quinn season 4 has come to an end.

Max runs a tight schedule. If they say a season is going into its finale, trust them. If Max or HBO added a new episode of Harley Quinn, it would throw off the schedule for their other shows, documentaries, and movies. That means seeing the next step for Harley and Ivy will have to wait a while longer.

Is Harley Quinn season 5 happening?

Max has yet to officially greenlight a fifth season of Harley Quinn but fans are hopeful that the animated series will return. While the vast majority of DC TV shows were canceled last year, Harley Quinn was one of the lucky few to come back. That fourth season was met with a positive response.

However, if the show is renewed for a fifth season, it will likely be some time before it is announced. Due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the immediate future of a lot of TV shows are in limbo. If the show does return, there may not be a new season in 2024.

The show normally releases a new season every year but with the ongoing strikes, it could be delayed or canceled. Hopefully, the studios will finally come to an agreement and pay the writers.
