The series is a co-production between Universal Television, Seven Bucks Productions and Khan’s Fierce Baby Productions.
Young Rock will be an 11-episode sitcom that will be inspired by Dwayne Johnson‘s unbelievable childhood which he likens to Tom Hanks’ award-winning film Forrest Gump.
I’ve seen it all my friends – success, failure, homelessness, evictions, suicide attempts, arrests, hard times, good times, low times, high times.
Johnson, who has also signed on as an executive producer through his Seven Bucks Productions banner, is expected to appear in each episode.
