Kevin Hart‘s Cold As Balls is coming back to Netflix. Season 13 of the show will premiere on September 20, 2026, with seven new episodes. According to Variety, the episodes were filmed live at Fanatics Fest in New York in August. Hart will once again interview several high-profile athletes in the show’s signature ice tubs, while the new season introduces its first-ever non-athlete guest.
The sports comedy interview series is produced by OBB in association with Hartbeat. The show puts Hart and his guests in ice tubs as they talk about their careers, personal lives, and experiences. It mixes sports with candid and comedic conversations. The format has helped the series stand out from the typical sports interview and has become a fan favorite since its debut in 2017.
The new season was initially announced with six episodes. It has now expanded to seven with Novak Djokovic joining the lineup. The tennis superstar will sit down with Hart for one of the new episodes.
Who joins Kevin Hart this season?
Djokovic will appear alongside several athletes and sports personalities. The Season 13 lineup also includes tennis icon Serena Williams, former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski, basketball player Cooper Flagg, UFC fighter Sean O’Malley, soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimović, and streamer IShowSpeed.
The upcoming season will also feature Marcello Hernández in a special appearance. The SNL cast member will be the first non-athlete to enter the Cold As Balls tub. Hernández’s appearance adds a new element as the series expands its guest list beyond professional athletes.
Michael D. Ratner directed the new episodes. He co-created the series with Sean Spencer. Ratner serves as a showrunner alongside Kfir Goldberg. The executive producers include Ratner, Goldberg, Hart, Scott Ratner, Clanagan, Tina Maher, Tyler Salter, and Dave Becky.
OBB produces Cold As Balls in association with Hartbeat. All seven episodes of Cold As Balls Season 13 will be available to stream on Netflix starting September 20, 2026.
