Netflix Aligns with Kevin Hart for Comedy Competition

Hartbeat and Alfred Street Industries are producing a new comedy competition series with Kevin Hart for Netflix.

Guided by Hart and other leading comedians, the show will see aspiring stand-up comics facing off over the course of eight episodes.

The series promised to deliver an “unfiltered, uncensored and unapologetic” look at the path to comedy stardom. Premiering in 2026, it is executive produced by Hart alongside Jane Lipsitz, Dan Cutforth, Nan Strait and Dan Volpe for Alfred Street Industries; and Luke Kelly-Clyne and Meghan Hoffman for Hartbeat.
