The series stars Matt Oberg, Stephanie Hsu and James Adomian, and follows the adventures of Kite Man and his current girlfriend Golden Glider who have support the purchase of a local bar named Noonan's.

The series serves as a spin-off of Harley Quinn, where Kite Man was featured as a supporting character and ex-fiancé to Poison Ivy.[1] [2] The first season will consist of of ten episodes, with Matt Oberg returning to voice Kite Man. Much of the voice cast were revealed in September 2023.
