Roku Greenlights Season 3 of “Die Hart” Starring Kevin Hart, Produced by Hartbeat
Roku announced today that Roku Original comedy series “Die Hart 2: Die Harter” broke viewership records during its opening weekend on The Roku Channel, becoming the #1 Roku Original TV series weekend premiere of all time by both unique views and streaming hour engagement.
In addition to cementing itself as the most watched Roku Original TV series weekend premiere ever, “Die Hart 2: Die Harter” nearly doubled the opening weekend audience of the series’ first season, “Die Hart,” which first launched on The Roku Channel in May 2021.
On the heels of the series’ record-breaking weekend debut on The Roku Channel, Roku has announced plans to once again partner with Hartbeat, the global, multiplatform media company creating entertainment where comedy meets culture, to create a third season of “Die Hart.”
Kevin Hart will return for the third installment with more casting and additional details to be shared at a later date.
In “Die Hart 2: Die Harter,” Kevin now wants to cement his legacy as the greatest action star of all time, after achieving his dream of becoming a bona fide action hero in “Die Hart.” He’s developed a concept for a revolutionary movie where the action is so unscripted and unexpected that even Kevin won’t know what’s coming next. But Kevin’s myopic dream comes with a blind spot, and he soon finds himself the victim of an evil revenge plot, orchestrated by someone from his past. Kevin must enlist the help of his favorite co-star, Jordan King (Nathalie Emmanuel), his over-eager assistant, Andre (Ben Schwartz), Andre’s mom, Cynthia (Paula Pell), and legendary Hollywood stuntman Mr. 206 (John Cena) if he wants to survive.
Kevin Hart, Jeff Clanagan, Candice Wilson Cherry, Bryan Smiley, Thai Randolph, Mike Stein, Luke Kelly-Clyne, Kevin Healey, Ty Walker, Tripper Clancy, and Eric Appel served as executive producers of “Die Hart 2: Die Harter.”
*Weekend premiere for Die Hart 2: Die Harter occurred from Friday, March 31 through Sunday, April 2.
