The young streaming platform is still around, but with apologies to The Most Dangerous Game and every other thing Quibi has produced so far, the service desperately needs a big crossover hit - and Ride Along and Central Intelligence star Kevin Hart just might be its savior.
The 10-episode action comedy finds funnyman Hart playing a fictionalized version of himself who's tired of being the comedic sidekick. His dream is to be the kind of leading man who stars in action movies, and he gets his wish when a famous director offers him his dream - albeit with a catch: Kevin must first train at the world's greatest action star school, run by a lunatic played by a bald and proud Travolta. Pushed to his limits by this action school coach and a tough-minded rival student, played by Nathalie Emmanuel from Game of Thrones, Kevin must survive a series of hilarious, over-the-top action sequences and face his fears if he wants to achieve his dream and land the role of a lifetime.
Josh Hartnett and action movie veteran Jean Reno (The Professional, Mission: Impossible) co-star in the series, which was co-created by Tripper Clancy (Stuber) and Derek Kolstad (John Wick).
Die Hart will premiere its first three installments on Monday, July 20, with new chapters debuting every weekday until Wednesday, July 29.
