It is a sitcom that explains the journey that our favorite WWE wrestler took to get to where he is today. Because of the show’s quick humor and our favorite characters, it quickly gained a lot of popularity. Additionally, it received favorable remarks from critics too. IMDb has given the show 7.6 out of 10 ratings.
Nahnatchka Khan and Jeff Chiang wrote the script, and Brian Gewirtz, Nahnatchka Khan, and Dwayne Johnson served as executive producers. The series began airing on NBC on February 16 and ran for 11 episodes before wrapping up on May 21 of the same year. The series was swiftly renewed for a second season in April 2021, even before the first season, which debuted on March 15, 2022, and ended on May 24, 2022, with 12 episodes, was over. This was due to the overwhelming support from the audience. In fact, a special episode was released on December 15, 2021, in advance of the second season.

Young Rock Season 3 Story
Dwayne is vying for the presidency (fictional) of the United States in the year 2023 when the original story takes place. He travels back in time while speaking, remembering his younger years as a schoolboy in Hawaii when he was 10 years old, as a high school student in Pennsylvania, and as a college student at the University of Miami, where he was a football player.
A significant cliffhanger was left at the conclusion of Young Rock’s Season 2 storyline. Where the second season left off, we anticipate the third season to pick up immediately. After season 2 ended with his shaky 1997 WrestleMania debut, in which he wrestled The Sultan for the Intercontinental Championship in a lackluster match and was saved by his dad, Rocky Johnson, we anticipate that season 3 will delve even deeper into his WWE career and rise to become one of the country’s most recognizable professional wrestlers.
