It follows three best friends, Audrey, Lotta, and Dot, the self-appointed guardians of Harvey Street, a kid-ruled block where every day feels like a Saturday.[1](https://www.animationscoop.com/interview-dreamworks-harvey-girls-forever/) • [2](https://www.dreamworks.com/shows/harvey-girls-forever) The series premiered on Netflix on June 29, 2018 under the title *Harvey Street Kids*, was renamed for its second season, ran for four seasons, and concluded on January 10, 2020.[3](https://usa.newonnetflix.info/info/80178941)\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Original title | *Harvey Street Kids* for season 1; retitled *Harvey Girls Forever!* from season 2 onward[3](https://usa.newonnetflix.info/info/80178941) |\n| Production | DreamWorks Animation Television; produced by Brendan Hay and Aliki Theofilopoulos[1](https://www.animationscoop.com/interview-dreamworks-harvey-girls-forever/) |\n| Basis | Harvey Comics characters Little Audrey, Little Dot, and Little Lotta, updated for television[1](https://www.animationscoop.com/interview-dreamworks-harvey-girls-forever/) • [4](https://www.emilybrundige.com/harveystreetkids) |\n| Run | June 29, 2018 to January 10, 2020; four seasons of 13 episodes each[3](https://usa.newonnetflix.info/info/80178941) |\n| Netflix availability | Added June 29, 2018; removed July 18, 2025, after 85 months on the service[3](https://usa.newonnetflix.info/info/80178941) |\n| Main voice cast | Stephanie Lemelin (Audrey), Kelly McCreary (Dot), Lauren Lapkus (Lotta)[5](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/38008/harvey-girls-forever) |\n| Rating and format | TV-Y7; episodes built from roughly 12-minute segments[3](https://usa.newonnetflix.info/info/80178941) • [5](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/38008/harvey-girls-forever) |\n\n## Spoilers\n\n### Premise\n\nThe show is set on Harvey Street, a neighborhood where kids rule and adults are largely absent. Audrey, Lotta, and Dot act as the block's guardians, righting wrongs and keeping the street the best place to never grow up.[2](https://www.dreamworks.com/shows/harvey-girls-forever) Netflix's synopsis describes a place where a trio of girls right wrongs, ice cream is always an option, and every day feels like Saturday.[3](https://usa.newonnetflix.info/info/80178941) The three leads are drawn as distinct personalities: Audrey is energetic, Dot is intelligent, and Lotta is kindhearted.[4](https://www.emilybrundige.com/harveystreetkids)\n\n### Seasons and release\n\nNetflix released the series in blocks of 13 episodes per season. Season 1 arrived on June 29, 2018; season 2 on May 10, 2019; season 3 on November 12, 2019; and season 4 on January 10, 2020, which was also the date of the final episodes, \"Harvey Endings, Part 1\" and \"Harvey Endings, Part 2\".[3](https://usa.newonnetflix.info/info/80178941) • [5](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/38008/harvey-girls-forever) Season 2 expanded the world of the show and paid off groundwork laid in season 1, including a running boy-band joke that grew into a full storyline.[1](https://www.animationscoop.com/interview-dreamworks-harvey-girls-forever/)\n\nThe series remained on Netflix for 86 months before being removed on July 18, 2025.[3](https://usa.newonnetflix.info/info/80178941) After removal, the series remained available for digital purchase in the United States on platforms including the Apple TV Store, Amazon Video, and Google Play Movies.[8](https://www.moviefone.com/tv-shows/harvey-street-kids/jibvppMI5Z3UwfVuCMV6n6/where-to-watch/)\n\n## Development\n\nThe project began when Beth Cannon, an executive at DreamWorks, saw potential in grouping the classic Harvey Comics characters Little Audrey, Little Dot, and Little Lotta as \"the Harvey Girls.\" She found writer Emily Brundige, who had a take on the material, and the two developed the concept together.[1](https://www.animationscoop.com/interview-dreamworks-harvey-girls-forever/)\n\n**Emily Brundige's role.** Brundige brought her idea for the series to DreamWorks TV in spring 2014, then spent two years shaping it, supervising every aspect from character designs to the writing and tone. She updated Audrey, Dot, and Lotta and other characters from the comics, and created original characters including Fredo, Pinkeye, The Bow, Bobby the Elder, and Fru Fru. She also wrote premises, stories, and scripts used in the series.[4](https://www.emilybrundige.com/harveystreetkids) Brundige stepped away before production moved forward, at which point Hay and Theofilopoulos came in as producers.[1](https://www.animationscoop.com/interview-dreamworks-harvey-girls-forever/)\n\n## The title change\n\nThroughout development and the production of the first season, the creators called the show *Harvey Girls*. For marketing reasons it became *Harvey Street Kids*, a name chosen partly because, beyond the three female leads, the show features a diverse array of other kids, and partly to avoid confusion with the 1940s [Judy Garland](https://www.edgepedia.org/judy-garland) film *The Harvey Girls*.[1](https://www.animationscoop.com/interview-dreamworks-harvey-girls-forever/)\n\nAfter the first season, Netflix stepped in and offered the creators the chance to return to the original title, saying it wanted to highlight the three girls as the heart of the show. The team embraced the offer, and season 2 arrived on May 10, 2019 as *Harvey Girls Forever!*[1](https://www.animationscoop.com/interview-dreamworks-harvey-girls-forever/) • [6](https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/first-look-at-harvey-girls-forever-coming-to-netflix-in-may-2019/) The name was later formalized as a trademark: DreamWorks filed \"DREAMWORKS HARVEY GIRLS FOREVER!\" on April 1, 2019, and the mark was registered on June 8, 2021.[7](https://trademarks.justia.com/883/66/dreamworks-harvey-girls-88366552.html)\n\n## Voice cast and music\n\nStephanie Lemelin voices Audrey, Kelly McCreary voices Dot, and [Lauren Lapkus](https://www.edgepedia.org/lauren-lapkus) voices Lotta. Other cast members include [Atticus Shaffer](https://www.edgepedia.org/atticus-shaffer) as Melvin, Danny Pudi as Tiny, Roger Craig Smith as Bobby the Elder, and [Grey DeLisle](https://www.edgepedia.org/grey-delisle) as The Bow, Lucretia, and FruFru.[5](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/38008/harvey-girls-forever) Jack Quaid voices Richie Rich, a character from the same Harvey Comics world.[9](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/harvey-street-kids)\n\nSeason 2 introduced the fictional boy band Crush 4U, voiced by four singers drawn from real pop groups: [Joey Fatone](https://www.edgepedia.org/joey-fatone), Nick Lachey, Joey McIntyre, and [Shawn Stockman](https://www.edgepedia.org/shawn-stockman). Executive producers Hay and Theofilopoulos, described as music enthusiasts, wrote parody songs for the band such as \"My Heart Hearts Your Heart\" and \"Your Book's Overdue to the Library of My Heart\" before the singers were cast.[1](https://www.animationscoop.com/interview-dreamworks-harvey-girls-forever/) On the scoring side, composer Ryan Lofty developed the musical palette for characters including Lotta.[10](https://www.futurevega.com/blog/harvey-girls-forever)\n\n## References\n\n1.
