The streaming service has teased fans with minor details about the series since 2018's New York Comic Con (NYCC) and also included a few scenes in a recent DC Universe promo trailer. Thankfully, we have The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco leading the charge (and the series) to get more info out to the masses – taking to Instagram in March to share a behind-the-scenes view.

Cuoco also executive produces DC Universe's Harley Quinn through her Yes, Norman Productions, serving alongside Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey.
Speaking of Christopher Meloni…
In an interview with Bleeding Cool, the actor discussed his overall approach to voice acting and if it differs from his approach to live acting before briefly explaining what the Harley Quinn recording experience was like for him – and how it connects back to Meloni's work on 2014's FOX sitcom Surviving Jack:
