Announced a few months ago, a Harley Quinn Valentine’s Day animated special is set to debut next month. Today HBO Max released details as well as a trailer for the Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day Special.
Check it out below:
The official synopsis for the Harley Quinn Valentine’s Day Special:
As Harley goes to obsessive lengths to ensure that her first Valentine’s Day with Ivy is the best ever, Bane’s efforts to impress an unexpected date go horribly awry. Meanwhile, after an unfortunate online dating encounter, Clayface engages in some self-love.
The voice cast for the special includes Kaley Cuoco, Lake Bell, Alan Tudyk, Matt Oberg, James Wolk, Natalie Morales, Chris Diamantopoulos, James Adomian, Jim Rash, Vanessa Marshall, Janet Varney, Rachel Dratch, Leila Birch, Tyler James Williams, Josh Helman, Casey Wilson, Michael Ironside, and others.
While he’s known best right now for his role as Gregory Eddie in the breakout hit Abbott Elementary, it’s worth noting that this isn’t the first foray into the DC Universe for Tyler James Williams having voice Jason Rusch a.k.a. Firestorm in the Batman: The Brave and the Bold animated series. Considering that Harley Quinn producers Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker are also involved in Abbott Elementary, the casting of Williams isn’t that big a surprise.
It was previously announced last September that not only was the series renewed for a foruth season but that writer Sarah Peters (Workaholics, Master of None, Nathan F or You) will be elevated to executive producer and serve as showrunner for season four. Peters who has written on the series since season one. Likewise, showrunners for the previous three seasons, Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker are currently developing a Kite-Man spin-off series.
Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day Special premieres Thursday, February 9th on HBO Max.
