Teyana Taylor (Straw), Ben Marshall (Saturday Night Live‘s Please Don’t Destroy), Zach Cherry (Severance) and rising stand-up comic Kam Patterson (of Kill Tony fame) are new additions to Netflix‘s Kevin Hart comedy 72 Hours, the studio has announced.
Character details are under wraps, but we understand that the project marks Patterson’s feature debut. As previously announced, Marcello Hernández and Mason Gooding will also star.
72 Hours follows a 40-year-old executive who hopes to save his flailing career by joining a group of 20-somethings on a wild three-day bachelor party, after he’s inadvertently added to their group text.
Tim Story (Think Like a Man, Ride Along franchises) is directing from a script by Kevin Burrows & Matt Mider and Jon Hurwitz & Hayden Schlossberg. Producers on the project include John Davis for Davis Entertainment; Hurwitz, Schlossberg and Josh Heald for Counterbalance Entertainment; Hart, Luke Kelly-Clyne & Bryan Smiley for Hartbeat; Will Packer; and Story for The Story Company. John Fox and Jeremy Stein are exec producing for Davis Entertainment, along with Dina Hillier for Counterbalance, Vicky Mara Story for The Story Company, and Kayla Stamps for Hartbeat.
Taylor is repped by WME; Marshall by WME, Mosaic, and Ziffren Brittenham; Cherry by CAA, Edna Cowan Management, and Felker Toczek Suddleson; and Patterson by WME, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Fox Rothschild.
