Kevin, 42, takes the lead in the Netflix drama, a limited series, which follows stand-up comedian The Kid who lands himself in serious trouble during a wild night out in his hometown of Philadelphia.
From there, the twists and turns keep throwing the story through a loop as The Kid attempts to fix the messy situation under the glare of the spotlight.
But, how much of True Story is based on a true story?
Though True Story is loosely based on Kevin Hart himself, the show is largely fictitious.
The Kid, like Hart, is a world-renowned stand-up comedian performing sold-out shows and being paid $25million (£19m) to star in superhero blockbusters with Chris Hems worth.
Like The Kid, Kevin also hails from Philadelphia and went through a highly-publicised divorce from first wife Torrei Hart. The real life comic is father to four children, including son Hendrix, 14, while his character is dad to teen son Christian who, dare we say, bears a striking resemblance to Hendrix.
However, that’s pretty much where the buck stops in terms of similarities, as The Kid’s character gets pretty dark with murders galore and a fierce temper.
Could there be a True Story season 2?
Netflix has billed True Story as a limited series with just seven episodes, meaning that a second series is unlikely.
At the time of writing, a second season has not been confirmed
