Lionsgate has teamed up with Ride Along 2 star Kevin Hart to launch Laugh Out Loud, a comedy-only streaming service.

The platform will showcase content curated by Hart, along with shows featuring social media stars and up and coming comedians. Hart and his company Hartbeat Digital will also partner with Lionsgate to create a new social adventure mobile tablet game. He commented 'Lionsgate has always been a great partner of mine, and I'm more than excited to take our business and creative relationship to new levels. I understand the direction in which the television business is headed, and I see this big new space toward which audiences are starting to gravitate. I believe that launching this venture together now puts us ahead of the pack'.
