Kevin Hart's new show, "True to Size," is based on his actual life.
Dan Levy, who will write and showrun the half-hour comedy, is creating it for Peacock. The plot of the show is as follows:
Kevin Hart was a lost 20-year-old in Philly working at a sneaker shop in a 90s mall, a job he didn't really want and only took to keep his mother happy and keep him out of trouble, before he became the world's biggest comedian, before his movies grossed over a billion dollars, and before he became a mogul. When the store manager persuades him to try stand-up at an open mic, however, this position will change his life forever.Set in 1998, "True to Size" follows Kevin, a 20-something who stumbles into a new job selling sneakers at Sneaker World, and the family he forms with the b-team misfits who are all similarly lost on the journey to "figuring out" life in their 20s.
Along with Levy, Doug Robinson, Bryan Smiley, and Mike Stein, Hart will serve as executive producer. Sony Pictures Television is behind this project.
Hart isn't the first person to use his own life as inspiration for a TV program. He co-starred in "True Story," a limited series based on his early years in Philadelphia, with Wesley Snipes last year.
