When Kid\u2019s tour brings him to his hometown of Philadelphia, it becomes a matter of life and death for the famous comedian, the consequences of a lost evening with his wayward older brother threatening to destroy everything he\u2019s built.<\/p>\n<p><em>True Story<\/em> marks the dramatic series debut for Hart, who also serves as an executive producer on the project. The series was written and executive produced by Eric Newman (<em>Narcos<\/em>, <em>Narcos: Mexico<\/em>) under his overall television deal with Netflix. Charles Murray serves as executive producer and showrunner. Caroline Currier will oversee for Grand Electric. Hart\u2019s Hartbeat Productions also serve as producers, with Mike Stein and Tiffany Brown overseeing the project. Stephen Williams will direct and executive produce the first four episodes, while Hanelle Culpepper will direct the final four episodes.<\/p>\n<p>Newman said: \u201cKevin Hart\u2019s career is one defined by courageous creative risks and Wesley Snipes is a legendary talent\u2014together they are truly a dream team. I am absolutely thrilled to be working with these two. As always, I am grateful to Netflix for their continued support, as well as to Charles Murray, Stephen Williams and Hanelle Culpepper for their creative partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hart added: \u201cI\u2019ve never been more excited about an acting project in my career. I\u2019ve always been a fan of Wesley Snipes and working with him is mind-blowing. Having HartBeat Productions at the helm and working alongside Eric Newman as a partner and creative arm has been unreal, nobody is ready for what this show is going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix has unveiled the new scripted limited event series True Story, starring Kevin Hart and Wesley Snipes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":14207,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[88,4223],"class_list":["post-14206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-netflix","tag-true-story","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kevin Hart &amp; Wesley Snipes Star in New Netflix Limited Series - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/kevin-hart-wesley-snipes-star-in-new-netflix-limited-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kevin Hart &amp; Wesley Snipes Star in New Netflix Limited Series - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Netflix has unveiled the new scripted limited event series True Story, starring Kevin Hart and Wesley Snipes.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/kevin-hart-wesley-snipes-star-in-new-netflix-limited-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-12-10T14:59:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-12-10T16:10:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/Netflix_Logo_1218.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/kevin-hart-wesley-snipes-star-in-new-netflix-limited-series\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/kevin-hart-wesley-snipes-star-in-new-netflix-limited-series\/\",\"name\":\"Kevin Hart &amp; Wesley Snipes Star in New Netflix Limited Series - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-12-10T14:59:31+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-12-10T16:10:13+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/kevin-hart-wesley-snipes-star-in-new-netflix-limited-series\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/kevin-hart-wesley-snipes-star-in-new-netflix-limited-series\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/kevin-hart-wesley-snipes-star-in-new-netflix-limited-series\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Kevin Hart &amp; Wesley Snipes Star in New Netflix Limited Series\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
