The anime's opening theme, titled "Another World," will be sung by Tomoyasu Hotei.

A.R.G.U.S. leader Amanda Waller sends the squad, consisting of Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface, and King Shark, on a mission to an otherworldly realm.
However, as the team progresses on their mission with explosives attached to their head, it seems like they are set to be faced with a near-impossible task.
The anime has released new visuals for the upcoming series, showcasing the five members of the team. These visuals have been combined to create the anime's new main visual.
Additionally, the voice cast members for the series have been announced. Anna Nagase will be providing the voice for Harley Quinn. She has previously voiced Riko Amanai in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 and will also be voicing Mahoro in the original anime Bucchigiri?! by MAPPA.
