HBO Will Continue Airing the Story of 'Harley Quinn' in Its Fourth Season
A few weeks before its third season will conclude this September, HBO announced on Wednesday, August 31, that the animated version of the adult film "Harley Quinn" will have its season four.
According to CNET, Sarah Peters, a consulting producer who has worked on Netflix's "Master of None" and the Comedy Central shows "Nathan for You" and "Workaholics," will replace Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker as the film's producer for the fourth season.
Acknowledging the efforts and expertise of Schumacker and Halpern, Billy Wee, the senior VP of Comedy and Animation at HBO Max, said that they could not ask for more talented creators to help them improve the season (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Looking back, the first season revolved around "Harley Quinn's" journey on her own after calling it quits with The Joker. Currently, the Season 3 of "Harley Quinn" revolves around her and Ivy's return to Gotham City as a member of the DC villain power duo to fulfill Ivy's goal of transforming Gotham City into Eden.
Season 3 has voices from Kaley Cuoco, Lake Bell, Ron Funches, JB Smoove, and others. Its viewers will still be getting new episodes on HBO Max until the last one which will come on September 15.
Halpern and Schumacker expressed their excitement that HBO Max wants to carry on Harley and Ivy's story. From the beginning, Ceci Aranovich, who oversaw the animation production, and Peters, who served as producer, significantly impacted the program.

A production manager for Cartoon Network is devastated that "Driftwood" was canceled before it could air. Finnjamin Button (Dhubetter) said, "Working on this was such a treat. The whole crew is amazing, and we all were so excited to share this. Now, I'm just heartbroken that no one will see more than this poster."

Additionally, Internet users and content creators were shocked by the abrupt deletion of series like "Infinity Train" at the order of Warner Bros. Discovery.
