The Rock Working On HBO Wrestling Series

The Rock is one of the biggest actors in the world. Everybody knows that. In recent years, he has become more willing to do wrestling-related content as evident by his role in Fighting With My Family.

Now, it has been revealed that he is currently working on a wrestling series for HBO. Variety first reported the news and included the series synopsis:

“The project is currently titled “TRE CNT” (a.k.a “TRE COUNT”) and hails from writer Mohamad El Masri. 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.”

He and Dany Garcia will be executive producing the show as part of Seven Bucks Productions. Issa Rae and Montrel McKay will be executive producing as well as part of Issa Rae Productions, while Dave Becky, Tom Lassally, and Jonathan Berry will be executive producing from 3 Arts Entertainment.

It is not currently known whether The Rock will be active in the show as well as executive producing.
