Tubi partners with Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat to release four exclusive movies in 2026, featuring Kinigra Deon and the 85 South Show. The first film, ‘Sundown,’ is a supernatural thriller, while the second, ’85 South: Dead End,’ is a horror-comedy set for release on Tubi’s platform.

Tubi has entered into a partnership with Kevin Hart’s entertainment company, Hartbeat, for its inaugural exclusive creator content agreement. Through the Tubi for Creators initiative, the ad-supported streaming platform will release four creator-led movies from Hartbeat in 2026, catering to Tubi’s 100 million monthly active users worldwide.

The first movie in the lineup will be led by Kinigra Deon, a popular scripted content creator with 5.5 million YouTube subscribers, who will write, direct, and star in the film. Titled ‘Sundown,’ this supernatural thriller follows a group of Black college friends who stumble into a racially hostile town, discovering that the terrifying myths they’ve heard are true.

Following ‘Sundown,’ a horror-comedy named ’85 South: Dead End’ will be produced by DC Young Fly, Chico Bean, and Karlous Miller from the 85 South Show, boasting 3.4 million Instagram followers. The film narrates a Southern road trip gone awry when friends encounter a peculiar town where residents never leave. Two more movies will be revealed later.

Rich Bloom, Tubi’s general manager of creator programs and executive vice president of business development, expressed enthusiasm for the exclusive titles under Tubi for Creators, highlighting the collaboration with Hartbeat as a significant milestone. Jeff Clanagan, president and chief distribution officer at Hartbeat, emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting creators who influence culture and engage audiences, aiming to provide a platform for talents like Kinigra Deon, DC Young Fly, Chico Bean, and Karlous Miller to showcase their authentic voices on a global scale.
