Kevin Hart’s action-hero spoof series “Die Hart,” originally made for the now defunct Quibi and then released by the Roku Channel in May last year, is getting a second season.
John Cena, Ben Schwartz and Paula Pell have joined the cast for the new run, titled “Die Hart 2: Die Harter,” which will see Hart return along with Nathalie Emmanuel reprising her role of Jordan King from the first season.
Hart stars as a fictionalized version of himself and in the new run develops a concept for a revolutionary movie where the action is so unscripted and unexpected that even he won’t know what’s coming next.
Things take a turn when he finds himself the victim of an evil revenge plot, orchestrated by someone from his past. To survive, Hart must enlist the help of Jordan, his overeager assistant Andre (Schwartz), Andre’s mom Cynthia (Pell) and legendary Hollywood stuntman Mr. 206 (Cena).
Eric Appel returns to direct with Tripper Clancy returning as writer. Production has begun in Atlanta and the series will stream free (with ads) on the Roku Channel. No release date has been set.
