The series, which debuted on DC Universe before transferring to HBO Max, has won critical acclaim for its animation, smart character development, dark comedy, and vocal performances from its cast in its first two seasons. Harley Quinn was renewed for season 3 following its move to HBO Max in mid-2020, and fans of the series have exciting news to look forward to after a two-year wait.
Patrick Schumacker, the showrunner, shared a promising Harley Quinn season 3 update on Twitter. The first audio mix for the upcoming season has been completed, according to the creator/executive producer, who exclaimed, “It’s happening!” Below is a link to Schumacker’s reveal post:

Schumacker’s Harley Quinn season 3 update brings just over a year after the showrunner stated that filming for the second chapter of the animated series had finally begun.
It also comes just a few months after the first peek at the new season was unveiled at the second DC FanDome event in October 2021, with animatics of Harley and Ivy starting on their “Eat, Bang, Kill” tour of Gotham including glances of fellow villains King Shark, Clayface, Dr. Psycho, and Bane.
The public’s attention was also drawn to Harley Quinn season 3 when it was reported that DC had removed an explicit sex scene between Batman & Catwoman owing to concerns about toy sales for the Dark Knight.
Given that audio mixing is usually done late in the post-production process, Schumacker’s announcement that the initial mix for Harley Quinn season 3 is finished is a positive indication of the show’s return.
