A Harley Quinn spinoff starring Kite Man is taking flight at HBO Max. Patrick Schumacker, co-developer and co-showrunner of the DC adult animated series following the adventures of Harley Quinn (voice of Kaley Cuoco) after she breaks up with the Joker (Alan Tudyk), revealed the spinoff tentatively titled Noonan's at SXSW. Like Cheers but for Bat-villains, the spinoff sees perverted criminal caterer Kite Man (Matt Oberg) taking ownership of Noonan's Bar: a Gotham City hangout for supervillains like Joker and bartender Clayface (Tudyk). 

 

After a Season 2 split from his eco-terrorist ex-fiancée Poison Ivy (Lake Bell), Kite Man "tries to run the bar by himself, but it doesn't turn out so easy," Schumacker said during the "Not Kidding Around: Warner Bros. Animation and the Reimagining of Iconic Characters for an Adult Audience" panel at SXSW (via /Film). "We have Harley and Ivy appear in the first episode, but after that, we have different goons and villains appearing every episode like Lex Luthor and Bane."

 

Noonan's "will be kind of like Cheers for supervillains," added Schumacker, who co-created the hit Harley Quinn with Justin Halpern and Dean Lorey.

A “Harley Quinn” spinoff series titled “Noonan’s” has officially been ordered at HBO Max, Variety has learned exclusively.

 

The series will focus on lovable loser Kite Man and his new squeeze, Golden Glider, as they moonlight as criminals to support their foolish purchase of Noonan’s, Gotham’s seediest dive bar.

The show is executive produced by “Harley Quinn” co-creators Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey, as well as “Harley Quinn” star Kaley Cuoco via Yes, Norman Productions. Sam Register also executive produces. Lorey will serve as showrunner on “Noonan’s.” Schumacker and Halpern executive produce under their Delicious Non-Sequitur banner.

Warner Bros. officially gave Noonan's, the upcoming Harley Quinn animated spin-off series, a different title ahead of its debut on Max.

 

The first three seasons of Harley Quinn became such a success that Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) greenlit a spin-off highlighting more of that universe’s villains from classic DC lore.

 

The series will have Kite Man as the headliner, who served as Poison Ivy’s on-again-off-again love interest before she dove further into her relationship with Harley Quinn, inciting a new round of mayhem.
