Comedians Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson will recap the best moments of the 2024 Paris Olympics as part of a new series debuting on Peacock in July.

The eight-episode series, Olympic Highlights with Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson, will debut July 26 and feature the comedians as they bring a comedic perspective to the Olympics’ best and most unexpected moments throughout the games, according to Peacock.

The streaming service will roll out two to three episodes per week of the series, which will offer a mix of Olympic-themed in-studio conversations and interviews, said Peacock officials.
