Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is set to produce a new wrestling themed series for HBO.
As first reported by Variety, Johnson is behind a new 30 minute series for HBO titled “TREE CNT” (pronounced Tre Count).
The series will focus on a struggling pro-wrestler who uses his inheritance to start a “hip-hop centric” backyard wrestling promotion in Houston’s Third Ward.
The series focuses on Cassius Jones, a young dock worker and struggling pro-wrestler, who uses inherited life-insurance money for start-up cash and the deed to a shotgun house from his grandfather to start a hip-hop centric backyard wrestling empire in Houston’s Third Ward (The Tre) with the help of his working-class family, neighbors, and friends.
The series is written by Mohamad El Masri, and features Johnson and his former wife Dany Garcia, alongside Issa Rae set to be executive producers.
