Get ready to laugh because Kevin Hart is taking us back to where it all started! In a brand-new animated comedy, Lil Kev, Hart teams up with BET+ to give us a hilarious, heartfelt look at his childhood growing up in 1993 North Philadelphia. And if you think you know Kevin’s story, just wait—this series brings all the laughs, the lessons, and that signature Hart energy we love.
The show follows a 12-year-old Kevin, full of big dreams and even bigger personality, as he navigates the ups and downs of his upbringing. With comedy legends Wanda Sykes playing his no-nonsense mama, Nancy, and Deon Cole as his wisecracking uncle, Richard Jr., the cast alone is enough to have us tuned in!
But what makes Lil Kev special is that it’s not just about the jokes—it’s about resilience, family, and finding humor even in life’s toughest moments. Kevin Hart has always been open about his journey, and this show brings those real-life experiences to the screen in a way that’s both entertaining and inspiring.
Produced by Hartbeat and animated by ShadowMachine, Lil Kev is set to premiere this spring on BET+, and trust me, it’s going to be a must-watch. Whether you grew up in the ‘90s or just love a good coming-of-age story, this series promises to bring nostalgia, comedy, and plenty of feel-good moments.
