‘It’s All About the We Not the Me’: Kevin Hart Champions His Mega Netflix Deal as a Win for His Entire Team

Days off may be a thing of the past for funny man Kevin Hart who recently announced a major multi-project deal with the streaming giant Netflix. Making the most of his bankable comedy, creativity and expanding acting chops, Hart is expected to bring four feature projects to the platform.

The actor also inked a deal for his HartBeat Productions company to give the streaming service first dibs on upcoming projects, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Since breaking onto the scene with his comedy specials and laughter-filled films, Hart has made it a point to leave no stone unturned in terms of his creative outlets. It’s a work ethic and mindset that has left his supporters and industry colleagues inspired, and proud of his growing success.

“Incredible!!! Always inspired by you. Setting the bar high🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽”

“Keep it up , we love your work. 🙌🔥🔥”

“Heard you talking about this aspiration awhile back on @joerogan ‘s podcast. Happy to see it unfolding! Your dedication is truly inspiring man”

“Continue taking it to an aspirational level.”

But for Hart his endeavors may be about not only building personal wealth and legacy, but also creating avenues of success for his team at HartBeat Productions.

“Excited about this new chapter for myself & my company. I am beyond blessed and thankful for my team at HartBeat Productions….I truly believe in our ability to make global films that will make a lasting impact in cinema history for years to come. We are just getting started people #HartBeatProductions …..It’s all about the “We” not the “Me,” wrote Hart alongside his post announcing the new deal.

In December 2020, Hart, 41, shared with his 102 million IG followers that he would be starring alongside actor Wesley Snipes in a Netflix limited series.

“The legend himself is playing my brother in this project. S*** just got real and I promise you it’s f***** good. Thank you to my partners @netflix for believing in me & my HartBeat team. We have no choice but to DELIVER with this one. MARK MY WORDS!!!!!,” wrote Hart.

If this is the start to Hart’s 2021 it’s a wonder how the rest of the year will pan out. One thing for certain is that the comedian is rebounding from public blunders of recent years past.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
