Gotham's biggest problem is now going to be giving Superman mallet-sized headaches. In the first trailer for the fifth season of Max Original, the titular queen of mischief (Kaley Cuoco) and Poison Ivy (Lake Bell) have left the grimy streets of Gotham and make their way to Metropolis in a Batman/Superman mashup that's perfect for kicking off 2025. The combination of Batman and Superman's worlds in this upcoming season promises adventurous and humorous storytelling.
According to Max's synopsis of the season, 'Harley and Ivy discover that something sinister is at play' in Metropolis when they arrive, calling into question the motivations of Lex Luthor and Brainiac. This season sets the stage for a chaotic confrontation between beloved characters and notorious villains, which fans have come to expect from the Harley Quinn series.
Executive producer and writer Dean Lorey hinted at another possible spin-off from what he calls the Harleyverse: 'Well, I'm all in on the Harleyverse. There's a show that I am hoping to be able to announce somewhat soon, that is in the Harleyverse that I'm very excited about.' This suggests that the success of Harley Quinn may lead to even more expansions of the universe.
This season is set to premiere on January 16, 2025, and comes after Harley Quinn's pocket of the DC animated universe expanded this year. The introduction of new spin-offs gestures toward a growing and vibrant storytelling landscape that can explore various aspects of the DC characters beyond their traditional boundaries.
