Kevin Hart's Muscle Car Crew: Season Two Renewal, Reality Series Coming to Roku Channel and MotorTrend

Kevin Hart’s Muscle Car Crew has been renewed for a second season. The reality series will air on both Roku Channel and MotorTrend.

The series, which debuted in 2021 on just MotorTrend, follows Kevin Hart and his friends, known as the Plastic Cup Boyz, as they dive into car culture. Season two will find the group opening a restoration garage in Atlanta.

The Roku Channel revealed more about the series’ return in a press release.

Roku is partnering with MotorTrend and Hartbeat to bring the second season of “Kevin Hart’s Muscle Car Crew” to The Roku Channel as a Roku and MotorTrend Original series. Propagate, which produced season 1 of the series, will also return to produce season 2.

Season one of “Kevin Hart’s Muscle Car Crew,” which debuted on MotorTrend+ and MotorTrend TV in 2021, followed Kevin and his closest friends – known as the “Plastic Cup Boyz” – as they dove head-first into America’s dynamic and ever-changing car culture. Their goal: to transform from mere car enthusiasts into a legitimate car club.

Combining the reach of The Roku Channel, which reached U.S. households with an estimated 100 million people in Q4 2022, MotorTrend’s 75-year history as a leader in automotive content and the creative brilliance of Kevin Hart and Hartbeat will make for a winning partnership and a stronger series.

The second season of “Kevin Hart’s Muscle Car Crew” follows Kevin and the Plastic Cup Boyz as they decide to open their own car restoration garage in the Atlanta area. The crew go on a journey to learn everything they can about car culture through the process of opening this brick & mortar spot.

Kevin Hart, Bryan Smiley, Luke Kelly-Clyne, Mike Stein, Kevin Healey executive produce for Hartbeat. Ben Silverman, Howard T. Owens, Drew Buckley, and Isabel San Vargas executive produce for Propagate. David Lee is the executive producer for MotorTrend. Joey Wells, Harry Ratchford, Brendon Carter of the Plastic Cup Boyz also serve as executive producers.

In addition to bringing season 2 to The Roku Channel, Roku will have both AVOD and FAST rights to season 1 of “Kevin Hart’s Muscle Car Crew.”
