[via press release from Roku]

"Die Hart 2: Die Harter" is the #1 Roku Original TV Series Weekend Premiere of All Time

Roku Greenlights Season 3 of "Die Hart" Starring Kevin Hart, Produced by Hartbeat

· Roku announced today that Roku Original comedy series "Die Hart 2: Die Harter" broke viewership records during its opening weekend on The Roku Channel, becoming the #1 Roku Original TV series weekend premiere of all time by both unique views and streaming hour engagement. *

· In addition to cementing itself as the most watched Roku Original TV series weekend premiere ever, "Die Hart 2: Die Harter" nearly doubled the opening weekend audience of the series' first season, "Die Hart," which first launched on The Roku Channel in May 2021.

· On the heels of the series' record-breaking weekend debut on The Roku Channel, Roku has announced plans to once again partner with Hartbeat, the global, multiplatform media company creating entertainment where comedy meets culture, to create a third season of "Die Hart."

· Kevin Hart will return for the third installment with more casting and additional details to be shared at a later date.

· In "Die Hart 2: Die Harter," Kevin now wants to cement his legacy as the greatest action star of all time, after achieving his dream of becoming a bona fide action hero in "Die Hart." He's developed a concept for a revolutionary movie where the action is so unscripted and unexpected that even Kevin won't know what's coming next. But Kevin's myopic dream comes with a blind spot, and he soon finds himself the victim of an evil revenge plot, orchestrated by someone from his past. Kevin must enlist the help of his favorite co-star, Jordan King (Nathalie Emmanuel), his over-eager assistant, Andre (Ben Schwartz), Andre's mom, Cynthia (Paula Pell), and legendary Hollywood stuntman Mr. 206 (John Cena) if he wants to survive.

· Kevin Hart, Jeff Clanagan, Candice Wilson Cherry, Bryan Smiley, Thai Randolph, Mike Stein, Luke Kelly-Clyne, Kevin Healey, Ty Walker, Tripper Clancy, and Eric Appel served as executive producers of "Die Hart 2: Die Harter."

*Weekend premiere for Die Hart 2: Die Harter occurred from Friday, March 31 through Sunday, April 2.
