Quinta Brunson and Tyler James Williams Cast as Hawkman and Hawkgirl for Harley Quinn Series

According to a Deadline exclusive, two popular cast members from Abbott Elementary have just been added to the DC Universe. Multiple award winners Quinta Brunson and Tyler James Williams will lend their voices to the characters of Hawkman and Hawkgirl in an upcoming Harley Quinn Valentine’s Day special.

ABBOTT ELEMENTARY – “Open House” – It’s Open House night at Abbott Elementary, and while Janine prepares to meet her struggling student’s mother, the rest of the faculty uses the time to relax. Gregory is taken aback when he learns how Ava got the principal job, and later, Barbara’s daughter’s visit creates a commotion in more ways than one when “Abbott Elementary” returns TUESDAY, MARCH 22 (9:00-9:30 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

Although only a brief cameo is planned, I am sure fans of both Harley Quinn and Abbott Elementary will be tuning in for their appearance. Brunson and Williams are known for their electrifying chemistry. Their will they/won’t they arc as Janine and Gregory on the latter show has been the subject of much speculation and fanfic.

In what appears to be a “When Harry Met Sally” type set up, the promo shot of Hawkman and Hawkgirl looks promising for romance and more than a good bit of humor. Both actors have expressed positive feelings for the episode, with Williams stating: “Harley Quinn is such a brilliant series and it is an honor to lend my voice to this special. I think the cameo is something both Abbott Elementary and DC fans will enjoy.”

“Harley Quinn” was recently renewed for a fourth season with incoming showrunner, Sarah Peters. She replaces Abbott Elementary creative partners Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker, who, along with Dean Lorey developed the show.
