Kevin Hart is the subject of the new docuseriesDon’t F–k This Up, which is set to arrive on Netflix late next month. Producing the project are Hartbeat Productions, Lionsgate, Makemake, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Magical Elves. The six-part series will offer unprecedented access to the personal life of the actor during one of the most trying times of his life with a particular focus on his Oscars controversy. According to Netflix, the series will also tap “into the trials and tribulations of what it means to be a father, a partner, a role-model, and a business-man,” with Hart reflecting on these events and how they’ve made him into the person he is today.
Late last year, Hart was announced as the next host of theAcademy Awards. It was a dream job for the entertainer, who had previous success with other prominent awards shows as the host. As many of us know, Hart would step down from the job soon after in the wake of criticism of “homophobic” jokes he had posted on his Twitter account nearly a decade prior. This led to the Oscars going without a host completely. With cameras rolling during this period, Hart’s day-to-day life in the immediate aftermath of a “social media cancellation” was captured, which will be explored in the docuseries. Also featured will be interviews with Hart’s friends and family in addition to archival footage from his early career.
This will be the thirdNetflix Originalto feature Hart in less than a year’s time, as 2019 also saw two comedy specials from the comedian debuting on the streaming service.Kevin Hart’s Guide to Black HistoryandKevin Hart: Irresponsibleeach brought about some new comedic material from Hart, who balances his time between acting and performing stand-up comedy. Additionally, plenty of previously-recorded comedy specials from Hart’s career are also streaming on Netflix, so there’s definitely a lot of programming available for fan’s of Hart’s work to appreciate. Still,Don’t F–k This Upwill be the first to take us behind the curtain to let viewers see Hart on a much more personal level.
