The film's narrative revolves around a stay-at-home father, who after a long time gets his personal space when his wife and kids have gone away from Home.

Kevin Hart had a recent deal with Netflix to produce and star in at least four features and Me Time is the first one to take off. Tentatively, the film Me Time will go floors later this year. As confirmed by the Hollywood Reporter, the film producer Joe Gatta will also be on board. Joe had produced films like  Daniel Radcliffe's Horns and Jason Statham's The Mechanic.

He also directed a rom-com Along Came Polly taking Ben Stiller in the lead role. John last directed Why Him? with actors Zoey Deutch, James Franco, and Bryan Cranston. Apart from directing and producing his upcoming Netflix comedy film, John will also be scripting it.
