Exclusive: Kevin Hart, Wanda Sykes talk BET+ animated series ‘Lil Kev’

Inspired by the childhood and comedy of our star Kevin Hart, the show takes a humorous, satirical, and sometimes politically subversive approach to real-life issues going on in the Black community...with no subject off limits. In North Philadelphia, Nancy Hart wages a one-woman war to safely raise Kev and his older brother Robert. What makes matters even more challenging is that her estranged husband is struggling to clean up his act. No matter the chaos they put her through, she’s a loving mother...but it’s tough love.
We mean beat your ass with anything within arm’s reach tough love. But it’s not because she doesn’t have a soft spot for her boys. She just knows she has to beat them with love to steer them on the right path. But no matter how much his mom tries to beat good sense into him, Lil Kev will not allow his soul to be broken. He has limitless energy and a crazy optimistic spirit that will eventually lead him to become the Kevin Hart we know today.
