Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has another television project in the works.

The WWE Hall of Famer is set to executive produce a series for HBO about a backyard wrestling promotion, according to Variety. Dany Garcia, who co-founded Seven Bucks Productions with Johnson, will also serve as an executive producer.

The series, currently titled "TRE CNT," will follow a struggling young wrestler named Cassius Jones who starts up a backyard wrestling promotion in Houston's Third Ward with help from his family, friends, and neighbors.

Johnson previously produced and starred in the HBO series "Ballers," which concluded in October 2019 with its fifth and final season.
