KEVIN HART AND HIS PRODUCTION COMPANY HARTBEAT SIGN WITH WME

Kevin Hart and his global entertainment company Hartbeat have signed with WME for representation in all areas. Hart continues to develop, star, and produce feature films, television, commercials, and podcasts via Hartbeat. The move to WME comes as Hart and Hartbeat continue to expand their portfolio of multi-platform IP.

Hart – named by Billboard as the highest grossing comedian in 2023 – recently announced his Acting My Age tour, a new intimate tour with tickets going on general sale tomorrow. Last month, he received the Kennedy Center's annual Mark Twain Prize for American Comedy, as the 25th recipient and the youngest honoree to date. Hart has received multiple Grammy and Emmy award nominations over his 25+ year career. He is also a 2x New York Times Best Selling author.

Hart is Chairman of Hartbeat, which develops, creates, distributes, and markets entertainment and experiences at the intersection of comedy and culture. Hartbeat, which released 23 projects last year across TV, film, digital and audio, is one of the most sought-after creative engines for platforms, brands and audiences. The company boasts strategic partnerships with NBCUniversal, Netflix, SiriusXM, Sundance Institute, P&G, Walmart, Chase, Draft Kings, and more.

In addition to producing tentpole projects starring Hart, such as the recent hit Netflix action heist Lift and upcoming series Fight Night for Peacock. Outside of projects starring Hart, Hartbeat has the coming-of-age comedy film Prom Dates for HULU, the Tribeca premiere of the documentary feature Group Therapy, and Number One on the Call Sheet for AppleTV+.

Hart continues to be represented by 3 Arts, Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham and Haley Hileman. WME had previously repped Hart on the touring. The agency has been on a run lately on the signing front also signing Sam Worthington, Molly Gordon, Michael Che and Kenya Barris.
