DC has released the NYCC teaser for their upcoming new adult animated ‘Harley Quinn‘ series, and also announced that ‘Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco will be providing the voice.
‘Harley Quinn’ follows Harley’s adventures after she breaks up with the Joker and strikes out on her own in this new adult animated comedy. With the help of Poison Ivy and a ragtag crew of DC castoffs, Harley tries to earn a seat at the biggest table in villainy: the Legion of the Doom.
Along with Cuoco, the voice cast has a pretty spectacular line-up… Lake Bell (‘BoJack Horseman’, ‘Boston Legal’) provides the voice for Poison Ivy, and Diedrich Bader (‘Veep’, ‘BoJack Horseman’) will be voicing Batman. The rest of the cast don’t have characters attached, but includes Alan Tudyk (‘Rogue One’, ‘Firefly’), Ron Funches (‘Powerless’), JB Smoove (‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’), Jason Alexander (‘Seinfeld’), Wanda Sykes (‘Black-ish’), Giancarlo Esposito (‘Breaking Bad’, ‘Better Call Saul’), Natalie Morales (‘Bojack Horseman’), Jim Rash (‘Mike Tyson Mysteries’), Tony Hale (‘Arrested Development’, ‘Veep’) and Chris Meloni (‘Happy!, Law & Order: SVU’). Someone in that casting office REALLY likes ‘BoJack Horseman’!
As you can tell from the trailer, this is most definitely aiming for a more adult audience, more in the vain of ‘Deadpool’ than the ‘Batman Animated Series’. The show comes from ‘Powerless’ exec producers, Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker and the 26-episode Season 1 will come to DC Universe in 2019.
No news yet on where ‘Harley Quinn‘ will land on this side of the pond, but give Netflix has already taken ‘Titans’ (plus they have seemingly borrowed half the ‘BoJack Horseman’ cast), the streaming service would seem like a good bet. We’ll let you know when we hear something official.
