Hart’s company, HartBeat Productions, will also have a first-look film producing deal with Netflix as part of the deal.
“Partnering with Netflix is an amazing opportunity for HartBeat and myself. I am excited to act in and produce cutting edge films with Netflix,†Hart said on the news in a press release. “This business is about growth and my HartBeat team continues to exceed my expectations with their ability to develop stories and relationships.

Next up from Hart and Netflix is his previously announced role opposite Wesley Snipes in the limited series True Story, which will mark the stand-up’s debut in a dramatic series.
