Kevin Hart is ready to take the animation world by storm with his new series Lil Kev.

Airing exclusively on BET+, the show is set in his hometown of North Philly in 1993. “12-year-old Kevin faces tough neighborhood life with boundless optimism. His mom works nights, his brother’s a troublemaker, his dad wants back in, and his uncle gives dubious advice – but Kev keeps hustling,” the synopsis read.

Along with Hart, the star-studded cast includes some of the top names in comedy. Wanda Sykes as Nancy Hart, Kevin’s mother, and Deon Cole as Uncle Richard Jr. Also, voice acting legend Cree Summer, Affion Crockett, Jamar Neighbors, Jess Hilarious, and “Ms. “Pat” Williams, comprise the cast which is sure to bring the laughs.

In an interview with BET, Hart spoke about the creation of the series.

“Now was the right time to do it because it finally came to life. I’ve been trying to develop it for the longest. And any opportunity that I can tell my story, I jump to it. When I have an opportunity to be creative and do it from the times of old, it’s exciting to me,” Hart explained. Recreating those moments or repurposing them for the [greater good] for people to see, relate to, and understand is great to me… I can go and get raw, but give you a reason to laugh through the animation and delivery.”
