Kevin Hart and his HartBeat Productions have signed a first-look film deal with Netflix, in which he will produce and star in four separate films for the streaming giant.
The film deal for Hart is akin to the partnership Adam Sandler has with Netflix, and under the multi-year agreement, Hart will also have a first-look film deal for other films under the HartBeat Productions banner.
It’s a big get for Netflix, as Hart has been one of the few consistently bankable box office stars, with his movies grossing over $4 billion worldwide. Last year, Hart had Netflix’s top comedy special, “Zero F—s Given,” which was viewed by 21 million accounts in its first four weeks.
