Kevin Hart’s animated comedy series Lil Kev is returning for a second season on December 9 on Paramount+. All ten episodes will be available the same day.

Set in 1993 North Philadelphia, Lil Kev is inspired by Hart’s childhood and follows twelve-year-old Kev, a kid with big dreams and a wild imagination who turns every setback into a scheme. He’s being raised by his fiercely protective mother Nancy while navigating life with a recovering father, a cynical older brother, and an ex-con uncle.

The series covers the kind of ground Hart has long mined in his stand-up: family dysfunction, neighborhood chaos, and the particular experience of growing up Black in Philly in the early ’90s.

Season two picks up with Kev facing the fallout from a moment of lashing out at the system, a rash act that lands him in the juvenile justice system and pushes him into situations he’s not equipped to handle.

Hart returns in the title role alongside a full returning cast: Wanda Sykes as Nancy, Deon Cole as Uncle Richard Jr., Jamar Malachi Neighbors as Robert, Gerald “Slink” Johnson as Henry, Anjelah Johnson-Reyes as Marisol, Nicole Aimee Schreiber as Ms. Green, Cree Summer as Gerald and Shaquilla, Mo Collins as Mrs. O’Lady and Connie DiScendo, Loretta Devine as Lunch Lady Gloria, Affion Crockett as Darnell and Smitty, Clayton Thomas as Rev and Mooney, Justin Hires as Chin Check, Wé Ani as Rhe Rhe and Jamarcus, and Rick Ingraham as Lucky.
