‘Lil Kev’ Season 2 Sets December Premiere at Paramount+

Lil Kev, the adult animated comedy inspired by Kevin Hart’s 1990s Philadelphia childhood, to Paramount+ for Season 2 in December. Season 1 was on BET+ before BET+ folded into Paramount+. Hart voices the title role again, with Wanda Sykes, Deon Cole and the rest of the main cast returning.

Per the official description, “Set in 1993 North Philadelphia, Lil Kev follows twelve-year-old Kev as his enormous ambition and wild imagination fuel one scheme after another. Raised by his fiercely protective mother Nancy, he navigates the chaos created by his recovering father Henry, cynical older brother Robert, and ex-con uncle Richard Jr. Through schoolyard rivalries, neighborhood hustles, and family setbacks, Kev turns every disaster into a story.”

The Season 2 synopsis is: “In season two, the normally unflappable Kev deals with the consequences of one moment of lashing out at the system — a rash act that lands him in the juvenile justice system and plunges him into an adult world he’s not ready to deal with.”

Hart voices Kev, and Sykes returns as Nancy, Cole as Uncle Richard Jr., Jamar Malachi Neighbors as Robert and Gerald “Slink” Johnson as Henry. Anjelah Johnson-Reyes voices Marisol, Nicole Aimee Schreiber voices Ms. Green and Cree Summer voices Gerald and Shaquilla.

Mo Collins voices Mrs. O’Lady and Connie DiScendo, Loretta Devine voices Lunch Lady Gloria and Affion Crockett voices Darnell and Smitty. Clayton Thomas voices Rev and Mooney, Justin Hires voices Chin Check, Wé Ani voices Rhe Rhe and Jamarcus and Rick Ingraham voices Lucky.

Hartbeat produces the series. Hart, Bryan Smiley, Jeff Clanagan, Mike Stein, Tiffany Brown and Candice Wilson Cherry executive produce for the studio. Matthew Claybrooks and Michael Price are executive producers and showrunners, and Eric Goldberg and Peter Tibbals also executive produce.

ShadowMachine leads animation. Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico executive produce for the company, and Musa Brooker is supervising director.

All 10 episodes of season 2 premiere Wednesday, Dec. 9 on Paramount+.
