More raucous antics await in the fifth season of Harley Quinn, which sees the unpredictable villain-turned-antihero turn her attention to a new city: Metropolis.

That's right, the home of Superman is about to get a lot more dangerous, with Harley (Kaley Cuoco), Poison Ivy (Lake Bell) and their assortment of villainous friends descending on the so-called Big Apricot.

Harley Quinn is separate from DC's all-new shared cinematic universe, masterminded by James Gunn, which formally kicked off with The Suicide Squad successor Creature Commandos over the summer.

Alas, UK-based fans are still waiting for that animated Max series to arrive – and the same is true of Harley Quinn season 5, which is yet to secure a confirmed premiere date on this side of the pond.

However, the rollout in the US is looking much clearer, so read on for more on the Harley Quinn season 5 release schedule on stateside streaming service Max.

Harley Quinn season 5: When are new episodes out?

Harley Quinn season 5 episodes will be released on Thursdays at 12am PT/3am ET on Max, starting from Thursday 16th January 2025 and ending with the season finale on 20th March.

The season is expected to drop one episode per week, in line with earlier runs.

The previous four seasons were broadcast on UK channel E4 and temporarily made available to stream on Channel 4, but it is not yet clear whether the network has chosen to retain the DC series for its fifth run.

We'll update this page when more information becomes available on the UK release.
