NEW BET+ ORIGINAL COMEDY SERIES! Created by and starring Kevin Hart, Lil Kev explores how the beloved comedian’s unbreakable spirit and his mom’s tough love shaped him into the star we know today.
Hart will executive produce and also provide the voice for the lead character, while Wanda Sykes will play his mother, Nancy, while Deon Cole is on board to play Uncle Richard Jr.
Set in 1993 North Philadelphia, the adult animated series Lil Kev follows 12-year-old Kevin Hart, whose wild imagination and unshakable optimism constantly collide with his neighborhood’s harsh realities. At the same time, his no-nonsense mother Nancy juggles night shifts as an E.R. nurse while waging a one-woman war to keep Kev on track – no easy feat with his mischievous older brother Robert blazing all the wrong trails, his trainwreck father Henry’s outrageous attempts to win Nancy back, and his ex-con uncle Richard Jr.’s questionable life advice. Through it all, Lil Kev navigates his rocky upbringing with humor, hustle, and heart, surrounded by the unforgettable characters who will propel him to comedy superstardom.
On the first episode titled Take Your Kev To Work, when Kev’s altercation with the school bully Chin-Check sparks a riot in North Philly, his mother Nancy takes him to the E.R., where she works to scare him straight. But Kev surprises Nancy by showing her that he understands the gravity of the situation, choosing to spread positive vibes instead.
