Dwayne Johnson's YOUNG ROCK Series Cancelled After Three Seasons

NBC has canceled Dwayne Johnson’s Young Rock series after three seasons. The cancellation comes three months after the show wrapped up its 13-episode third season. This is also the most recent blow to Johnson’s Seven Bucks production company, after last year’s lackluster performance of Black Adam at the box office.

According to the report, one of the main factors that figured into the decision to cancel the series was a big dip in the ratings compared to the previous season, “managing about 1.4M viewers and a 0.25 rating in the 18-49 demographic, according to live + same-day Nielsen data. Compare that to Season 2, which drew an average of 2.23M viewers and a 0.39 rating. Season 1 was by far the most-watched, averaging more than 3M viewers per episode and an impressive 0.62 demo rating.”

Young Rock “focuses on different chapters of Johnson’s life. From growing up in a strong and resilient family to being surrounded by the wild characters of his professional wrestling family to playing football at the University of Miami, the show explores the crazy rollercoaster that has shaped Dwayne into the man he is today and the larger-than-life characters he’s met along the way.”

Dwayne Johnson has been on top of the world for such a long time making one big hit after another and for the most part, he makes fun and entertaining projects! You know what you’re going to get from Johnson when you got to see his movies. Sometimes things just don’t work, though, like Black Adam or the continuation of Young Rock. But, Johnson is returning to the Fast and Furious franchise, so he’s got that going for him. He’s also set to star in Disney’s live-action remake of Moana.
