HBO Max's animated series Harley Quinn just got a new trailer ahead of its upcoming 3rd season premiere, and it looks like fans of the show have plenty of the hilarious carnage they love in store for them. With a spotlight on one new character and the rest of the spotlights on the already lovably deranged cast, this show knows exactly how to hype up its long-awaited return.
Starting with Kaley Cuoco's Harley introducing everything in her own inimitable way, the trailer kicks things off with a comforting return to the irreverent vibe the show is known for. Plenty of fan favorites get their time to shine while drama stirs in the background. But perhaps the most noteworthy addition is a certain crime fighter whose brooding skills rival that of the caped crusader himself.
Harvey Guillén gets to show off his role as Nightwing right off the bat, with Harley quickly reacting as one would expect to the overly serious vigilante. The What We Do in the Shadows star nails the role, bringing exactly the sort of energy one would expect from someone basically raised by Batman. He even gets a scene with Diedrich Bader's Batman as the duo seems unaware that they sound eerily (and hilariously) similar. But while Nightwing will likely play an important role in this season's story, the real meat of the trailer comes from the beloved returning characters strutting their stuff once again.
As Harley and Lake Bell's Poison Ivy start off this season just after finally kicking off their chaotic romance, it looks as though they've both got some big plans for Gotham City. Ivy shares her plot to terraform the city, letting everything return to its natural state, while Harley's gang celebrates the new couple's return after driving off into the sunset at the end of last season. The trailer teases some turbulence between Harley and Ivy, though, which feels in line with Harley Quinn's trend of not shying away from genuinely serious moments when it has to.
Not everybody is back, it seems, as Tony Hale's Doctor Psycho is apparently still in Arkham Asylum after trying to dominate the planet, as one does. But other favorites are ready for action. Alan Tudyk is back as The Joker and Clayface, along with J.B. Smoove as Frank the Plant, Ron Funches as the surprisingly lovable King Shark, and Christopher Meloni as Commissioner Gordon to round out the leads (interestingly, Gordon appears to be listed as a regular this season). They're joined by fellow returning stars Sanaa Lathan as Catwoman, James Adomian as Bane, and Briana Cuoco as Batgirl/Barbara Gordon (and yes, that's her sister playing Harley).
The new season of Harley Quinn is super close now, so fans who have been waiting since 2020 for a continuation will finally see some sweet release soon. Don't worry, even once it's over, there's still that Kite Man spinoff to look forward to.
Harley Quinn season 3 will premiere July 28th on HBO Max.
