Lathan’s casting rounds out the show’s version of the Gotham City Sirens, a fan-favorite alliance between Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and Poison Ivy. Kaley Cuoco will be starring as the series’ titular character, and Lake Bell was previously announced to be voicing Dr. Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy.

The Harley Quinn animated series was given a series order in November of 2017, and will hail from Dean Lorey and Powerless producers Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker. The series will follow Harley and a slew of miscellaneous DC Comics villains, as she tries to earn a seat at the Legion of Doom.

The series’ cast also includes Alan Tudyk (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) as The Joker, Rahul Kohli (iZombie) as Scarecrow, Diedrich Bader (Veep) as Batman, Tony Hale (Arrested Development, Veep) as Doctor Psycho, and Chris Meloni (Happy!, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) as Commissioner Gordon. Ron Funches (Powerless), JB Smoove (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Jason Alexander (Seinfeld), Wanda Sykes (Black-ish), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Natalie Morales (Bojack Horseman), and Jim Rash (Mike Tyson Mysteries) have all been cast in currently-unknown roles.
