Can we get a hell yeah? HBO Max’s Harley Quinn spin-off, Kite Man: Hell Yeah! finally has a release date, and soars onto the streaming platform this July. The series is a direct spin-off from the DC Harley Quinn series, which currently has four seasons, and was renewed for a fifth.
The series will have ten episodes and picks up with Kite Man buying Noonan’s Bar, the iconic hangout spot for the criminal underworld in Gotham City. If you need a re-introduction, Kite Man was the ex-fiance of Poison Ivy in Harley Quinn and is a villain who, well, uses kite-based weapons to commit his crimes. It was previously called Noonan’s before being renamed to Kite Man: Hell Yeah!
Co-creator Patrick Schumacker wasn’t sure if the show would make it out of development when it was first announced in 2022, but Kite Man has managed to soar with the wind. And now, he gets to shine in an adult-leaning comedy with familiar DC supervillains making appearances.
“Kite Man tries to run the bar by himself but it doesn’t turn out so easy,” Schumacker said. “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. It will be kind of like ‘Cheers’ for supervillains.”
Kite Man: Hell Yeah! will be available for streaming on HBO Max on 18 July.
