Sam Richardson Gets Secret Role in Harley Quinn Season 3

Executive producer and co-creator Patrick Schumacker took to Twitter to confirm that Veep alum Sam Richardson has been cast for an undisclosed role in the highly-anticipated third season of Harley Quinn. The Kaley Cuoco-led popular DC animated series currently has no official return date yet, but creators Schumacker and Justin Halpern revealed in a previous interview that they’re hoping that Season 3 could potentially premiere later this year.

I am extremely excited for this possibility and equally if not more extremely excited for the reality of @SamRichardson showing up as [redacted] in @dcharleyquinn season 3! https://t.co/2iMehg7aG0

Richardson is no stranger to voice acting as he previously lent his voice in a number of animated shows such as Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Archer, Human Discoveries, BoJack Horseman, The Fungies!, and most recently Hulu and Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. Richardson is the first casting addition to the new season after nearly a year since it was announced that Harley Quinn had been officially picked up by HBO Max from DC Universe, which has been rebranded as a sole premium comic book service called DC Universe Infinite.
