Production on second season of Roku original comedy is underway in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
Kevin Hart\u2019s \u201cDie Hart\u201d action-hero spoof is bringing in some fresh faces for Season 2 of the Roku original comedy: John Cena, Ben Schwartz and Paula Pell have joined the cast of \u201cDie Hart 2: Die Harter,\u201d the streaming company announced.<\/p>\n
In addition to the new cast, Nathalie Emmanuel will reprise her role in Season 2. Eric Appel returns to direct with Tripper Clancy returning as writer. Production of \u201cDie Hart 2: Die Harter\u201d has begun in Atlanta. The series will stream free (with ads) on the Roku Channel but a premiere date has not been set.<\/p>\n
In \u201cDie Hart\u201d Season 1, which co-starred John Travolta, Hart played a fictionalized version of himself who ultimately achieved his dream of becoming a bona-fide action hero. In the second season, Hart now wants to cement his legacy as the greatest action star of all time. He\u2019s developed a concept for a revolutionary movie where the action is so unscripted and unexpected that even Kevin won\u2019t know what\u2019s coming next. But Kevin\u2019s vision comes with a blind spot, and he soon finds himself the victim of an evil revenge plot, orchestrated by someone from his past. To survive, Hart must enlist the help of his favorite co-star, Jordan King (Emmanuel), his overeager assistant Andre (Schwartz), Andre\u2019s mom Cynthia (Pell) and legendary Hollywood stuntman Mr. 206 (Cena).<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so happy to be back in Atlanta working with Kevin, Nathalie and our incredible new cast members,\u201d Appel said. \u201cThe scope of this second season feels a lot bigger \u2014 it\u2019s funnier, it\u2019s more action packed and our fictional version of Kevin Hart is 100 times more petty and selfish in his ongoing quest to become an \u2018authentic\u2019 action hero.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cena is a WWE Superstar whose credits include \u201cPeacemaker,\u201d \u201cThe Suicide Squad,\u201d \u201cF9: The Fast Saga\u201d and \u201cVacation Friends.\u201d Schwartz is best known for his role on \u201cParks and Recreation\u201d; he has appeared in \u201cThe Afterparty\u201d and \u201cSpace Force\u201d and is the voice of \u201cSonic the Hedgehog\u201d in Paramount\u2019s film franchise. Pell was a longtime writer on \u201cSaturday Night Live,\u201d with acting credits including \u201cGirls5eva,\u201d \u201cAP Bio\u201d and \u201cBig Mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Season 1 of \u201cDie Hart\u201d premiered on the Roku Channel in May 2021 after the company picked up the show through its acquisition of the assets of Jeffrey Katzenberg\u2019s Quibi, after the short-form video subscription business shut down. Roku said a record number of households streamed the series in its debut and ordered a second season, becoming the first Roku original series that the company renewed.<\/p>\n
Hart also serves as executive producer of \u201cDie Hart 2.\u201d His Hartbeat media company produces the series and Harbeat\u2019s Jeff Clanagan, Candice Wilson Cherry, Bryan Smiley, Thai Randolph, Mike Stein, Luke Kelly-Clyne, Kevin Healey and Ty Walker will serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n
Season 1 of \u201cDie Hart\u201d earned three Emmy nominations in 2021 in short-form series categories for actor (Kevin Hart and John Travolta) and actress (Nathalie Emmanuel).<\/p>\n
\u201cThis franchise has leveled up with the return of Nathalie Emmanuel and Kevin Hart and the addition of Paula Pell, Ben Schwartz and John Cena,\u201d commented Colin Davis, head of scripted originals for the Roku Channel. \u201cThe set has been filled with nonstop laughter from this concoction of comedy talent, and it\u2019s just the latest example of our incredible creative relationship and growing partnership with Hartbeat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hartbeat chief content officer Bryan Smiley added, \u201cHartbeat is excited to expand on the hilarious, action-packed world our cast and creative team have established. The feedback we\u2019ve received from fans who continue to discover and binge the series has been incredible and is a testament to the Roku Channel\u2019s incredible audience reach.\u201c<\/p>\n
