Kathryn Hahn and J.K. Simmons Join Kevin Hart in ‘Die Hart’ Season 3 Alongside Tony Cavalero and Anna Garcia

by · Variety

Kathryn Hahn and J.K. Simmons are among the new cast members added to Season 3 of Kevin Hart’s “Die Hart.”

Tony Cavalero and Anna Garcia have also joined the third installment of the action comedy series, which premieres Dec. 13 on the Roku Channel.

“Die Hart” stars Hart as a fictionalized version of himself alongside Nathalie Emmanuel. John Travolta and Josh Hartnett were Season 1 regulars.

In Season 3, “Kevin Hart is done with the action — what he really wants is critical success,” according to the logline. When he teams up with Jackson Pepper, “one of the all-time great directors” played by Simmons (“Whiplash,” “Spider-Man”), Hart is launched onto “the wrong kind of ‘most wanted’ list.”

Hahn (“Agatha All Along,” “WandaVision”) plays Jillian Avery, “a recognizable Oscar-winning movie star at the peak of her profession.” Cavalero (“The Righteous Gemstones,” “The Dirt”) is Agent Fisher, “a focused, intense, and easily agitated FBI agent with a deep secret.” And Garcia’s character Pearl is a “sweet and clueless aspiring actress, willing to do anything she can to be part of a Jackson Pepper film.”

“Die Hart” premiered on the now-defunct streaming service Quibi in 2020 and was picked up by Roku for its second season in 2023. Both seasons were re-edited into feature films released on Amazon Prime Video.

Season 3 of “Die Hart” is produced by Hartbeat. Executive producers are Hart, Bryan Smiley, Luke Kelly-Clyne, Jeff Clanagan, writer Tripper Clancy, director Josh Ruben and Ty Walker. The series is overseen by Morgan Pichinson and Sabrina Lyall on behalf of Roku Originals. 

Hahn is represented by Gersh, Lighthouse Management & Media and Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham. Simmons is represented by Gersh. Cavalero is represented by Gersh, Nicole Garcia Management and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora & Clark. Garcia is repped by Paradigm and Entertainment 360.
