Me Time will follow the story of a stay-at-home dad (Hart), who finds himself with some “me time” for the first time in years. While his wife and kids are away, he tries to reconnect with his former best friend (Whalberg) for a wild weekend that nearly upends his life.
The project will be written and directed by John Hamburg, who is also reuniting with Hart after working together on the 2018 comedy film Night School. As part of his overall deal with Netflix, Hart will also be serving as a producer through his HartBeat Production banner.
Me Time will be executive produced by Lauren Hennessey, Mark Moran, Patricia Braga, and Joe Gatta. It will be produced by Hamburg through his Particular Pictures banner, and Bryan Smiley for HartBeat Productions.
