'Harley Quinn' Bosses on Harlivy's Relationship, Sex Scenes and Self-Discovery in Season 3 (Exclusive)

etonline.com:

back with season 3 as it continues to follow the mayhem and madness of Harley Quinn (Kaley Cuoco). The new episodes see Harley and Poison Ivy (Lake Bell) returning as Gotham’s new power couple, who, along with their team of misfit villains — King Shark (Ron Funches), Clayface (Alan Tudyk), Frank the Plant (JB Smoove) — strive to become the best version of themselves while also working toward Ivy’s desire of transforming Gotham into an Eden-like paradise.

With the first three episodes of season 3 now streaming on HBO Max, executive producers Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker talk to ET about pushing the limits of what they can show onscreen, taking the DC Extended Universe’s most well-known characters in unexpected directions and getting meta with filmmaker James Gunn. [: Minor spoilers for the first three episodes.]  No, it wasn’t put in because of that.

This had been conceived way before that. We wanted to have an opening scene where people thought like, “Oh, they’re definitely trying to push the envelope…” We wanted to take everyone’s expectations and then subvert them when you realize it’s a porn movie and not actually Harley and Ivy.

So, that was always in the cards, we knew we wanted a splashy opening scene. A lot of people were asking for Harlivy sex scenes.
