Kevin Hart-Produced Comedy Series With Rapper Lil Dicky Heads to FX
FX has ordered a comedy series based on the life of rapper and comedian Dave Burd, known best by his stage name Lil Dicky, starring Burd himself.
Kevin Hart will executive produce the untitled series, which follows a suburban guy in his late 20s who becomes convinced he’s destined to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Now he must convince his closest friends, because with their help, he might actually convince the world.
“Not only has Dave Burd cemented his place in the rap community, but he’s now poised to take over TV with his infectious comedic sensibility in his own series,” Nick Grad, president original programming for FX Networks and FX Productions, said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to have partnered with an impressive creative team featuring Jeff Schaffer, Saladin Patterson, Kevin Hart, Greg Mottola and Scooter Braun to bring the story of Lil Dicky to TV audiences.
