SAN JOSE, Calif. — Streamer Roku announced today it has renewed Kevin Hart’s comedy action series, Die Hart, for a second season, which will be titled Die Harter.
Following the series premiere on May 20 on The Roku Channel, this greenlight is the first Roku Original renewal for the channel, which is the home of free entertainment on the Roku platform. It will be available globally.
Kevin Hart (above) will star and executive produce Die Harter, which will be produced by Hart’s Laugh Out Loud in-house production division, LOL Studios.
