Spotify and DC Entertainment have announced that production is underway on their latest audio series Harley Quinn and The Joker: Sound Mind, which sees Christina Ricci (The Addams Family, Yellowjackets) taking on the role of Harleen Quinzel alongside Billy Magnussen (No Time to Die, The Many Saints of Newark) as the Clown Prince of Crime.
Harley Quinn and The Joker: Sound Mind is written by Eli Horowitz (Homecoming) and promises to “finally tell Harley’s story from her perspective, instead of the one The Joker has told”. Featuring in the cast alongside Ricci and Magnussen is Justin Hartley (This Is Us, Smallville) as Bruce Wayne.
The logline for the series reads:
When listeners meet Harley, she’s Dr. Harleen Quinzel, a gifted psychologist at Arkham Asylum in Gotham City determined to help the patients her colleagues have written off. But her dad is sick, and in need of an expensive life-saving operation Harleen can’t afford. So when she meets “Patient J,” a unique criminal who seems to have a strange power over everyone but her, Harleen makes a fateful decision: to use her relationship with J to get what she needs, leading both of them down a dangerous path that will change their lives forever.
Harley Quinn and The Joker: Sound Mind, which is the second audio drama from the recent partnership between Spotify and DC after last year’s hit series Batman Unburied. As yet, there’s no word on a potential premiere date.
