Roku has revealed that Kathryn Hahn (Agatha All Along, WandaVision) and J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man, Whiplash) have joined the third season of the Emmy Award-nominated Roku Original series Die Hart. The streaming service has also released the official trailer and key art for the new season.
Tony Cavalero (The Righteous Gemstones, The Dirt) and Anna Garcia (Fly Me to the Moon, Hacks) will also come on board as cast members for the new season. The series will premiere exclusively on The Roku Channel on Friday, December 13.
The new cast members will join series veterans Kevin Hart and Nathalie Emmanuel, both of whom were nominated for Emmy Awards for their outstanding performances in the first two seasons.
In the third season, Kevin Hart is done with the action — what he really wants is critical success. But acclaimed director Jackson Pepper’s (J.K. Simmons) help hurts, thrusting Kevin and Jordan (Nathalie Emmanuel) onto the wrong kind of “most wanted” list.
Simmons will play Jackson Pepper, one of the all-time great directors, a force of nature who is serious, intense, thorny, and unpredictable. Kathryn Hahn will take on the role of Jillian Avery, a recognizable Oscar-winning movie star, at the peak of her profession.
Agent Fisher, played by Tony Cavalero, is a focused, intense, and easily agitated FBI agent with a deep secret. 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.
Hartbeat will produce season three of Die Hart. Kevin Hart, Bryan Smiley, Luke Kelly-Clyne, Jeff Clanagan, Tripper Clancy, Josh Ruben, and Ty Walker serve as executive producers.
Season 3 was written by Tripper Clancy and directed by Josh Ruben. Morgan Pichinson and Sabrina Lyall oversee the series on behalf of Roku Originals.
