Actor Kevin Hart is set to star in an action comedy series for upcoming streaming service Quibi.
Titled "Action Scene", the series is a collaboration between Hart's Laugh Out Loud Network and the streamer, reported Variety.
It follows a fictionalized version of Hart on a quest to land the action movie role of a lifetime.
"After being rejected for the role, Kevin randomly encounters a leading A-List action movie star which inadvertently sets off a chain of events, causing Kevin to fight his way through a series of over-the-top action sequences with the help of some of Hollywood's biggest action movie heroes," the official plotline read.
Hart, who is currently working on "Jumanji: The Next Level", will also executive produce the series alongside Dave Becky.
"I couldn't be more excited to bring big action and even bigger laughs to a new audience through this partnership between Quibi and Laugh Out Loud," he said.

Jeff Clanagan, the actor's business partner at Laugh Out Loud, will produce the project.

The streaming service has already lined-up an impressive slate of projects in collaboration with celebs like Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Lopez, Idris Elba, Chrissy Teigen, Lena Waithe, Don Cheadle, Tyra Banks and Lorne Michaels, among others.
