Do you smell what The Rock is cooking? One of Hollywood’s biggest stars had humble beginnings, and this sitcom shares the stories that helped form Dwayne Johnson. From his larger-than-life family to his wrestling career and that famous photo with a fanny pack, you’ll get an inside look at the crazy history behind the action movie hero.
For example, Johnson recently tweeted, “When I was 15, I was living in a motel room with a buddy and hustling cars from crackheads - all while kids thought I was an undercover cop in Nashville.” Sometimes, truth can be stranger than fiction. Will NBC have a new hit on his hands? Here’s how to watch.

Young Rock
As Dwayne Johnson runs for president in 2032, he takes a comedic look back at his extraordinary life through the outrageous stories of his family and youth that shaped him into the man he is today. He explores his childhood years living amid influential wrestling icons while his dad rose to fame in the business, his rebellious teenage years attending high school in Pennsylvania, and his football years teamed up with powerhouse players at the University of Miami. In his telling, Johnson explains that while his experiences have been larger than life, he remains a down-to-earth guy who still relates to the American people.
