Die Hart (Roku) -- S: Kevin Hart, John Travolta, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jean Reno -- Premieres 5/20/21
In Die Hart, Kevin Hart plays a fictionalized version of himself who's tired of being the comedic sidekick. He gets his wish when a famous director offers him his dream - to be a leading man action star - but there's a catch: Kevin must first train at the world's greatest action star school, run by a lunatic. Pushed to his limits by this action school coach (John Travolta) and a tough-minded rival student (Nathalie Emmanuel) Kevin must survive a series of hilarious, over-the-top action sequences and face his fears if he wants to achieve his dream and land the role of a lifetime. The cast also includes Jean Reno and Josh Hartnett.
All 10 episodes are up. This is free to watch on the Roku channel for Roku devices. Episodes are roughly 8-10 minutes each.

I've watched the 1st 4 episodes. Travolta is great playing a hammy over the top acting coach. He's the highlight so far.
Hart is basically playing Hart. He is amusing though.

Alright. I just finished it. It was okay. Got a few chuckles. It's basically a Hollywood action movie parody. Total running time is about 79 minutes.
It does end abruptly and not very satisfying, but oh well. I thought Travolta stole the show on this one over Hart. Hart was basically playing a heightened version of himself, which is basically what he does in every movie.

This was picked up for a 2nd season by Roku
It will be called "Die Harter"
Obviously if you don't have a Roku, you weren't able to watch this.

Don't really care about this show in particular, but I think it is a positive thing to see that Roku giving additional seasons and not just purchasing the hand me down content.

EXCLUSIVE: Kevin Hart’s Die Hart series is being refashioned as a movie for Prime Video.
The satirical action-comedy, starring Hart, John Travolta, Nathalie Emmanuel, Josh Hartnett, and Jean Reno, will launch worldwide on February 24 and screen in select cinemas in South Africa via distributor Empire.
The movie is a condensed version of the Hartbeat-produced series which follows Ride Along and Fatherhood star Hart playing a fictionalized version of himself, as he sets out to pivot away from being pigeon-holed as a comedy wingman to being taken seriously as an action movie star. Kevin Hart attends ‘action hero school’ run by Ron Wilcox, played by Travolta, where he attempts to learn the ropes on how to become one of the industry’s most coveted action stars.
The original 10-episode series launched on Quibi in the U.S. back in 2020. Roku picked up those rights when it acquired Quibi assets and the streamer is now in production on series Die Hart 2: Die Harter, which will also star John Cena, Ben Schwartz and Paula Pell.
The reimagined movie for Amazon is also directed by series director Eric Appel (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and written by series writer Derek Kolstad (John Wick: Chapter 1, 2 & 3).
“We truly love this movie and can’t wait to share it with our customers,” said Chris Mansolillo, Director, Content Acquisition, Prime Video. “Kevin Hart is one of the world’s most talented entertainers and we’re so pleased to work with him and Hartbeat to be the exclusive home for this brilliant film.”
“We are excited to team up with Prime Video, to share with viewers a new Die Hart experience through its release as a feature length film,” said Jeff Clanagan, Hartbeat’s Chief Distribution Officer and Die Hart producer. “Die Hart has become a powerhouse franchise for Hartbeat and an incredible crowd pleaser that unites audiences around the world through laughter. We are thrilled to partner with Prime Video and Empire to bring Die Hart the movie to both audiences at home worldwide and cinema goers in South Africa, furthering its growing impact on a global stage.”
