NBC has renewed Young Rock for a third season.

The sitcom focusing on the life and career of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson will return for at least one more run, as reported by Deadline on Thursday. This comes just over one week away from the show's season two finale, which is expected to air on 24 May.

Starring the likes of Joseph Lee Anderson, Stacey Leilua, and Ana Tuisila, with Johnson himself serving as an executive producer, Young Rock debuted with an original 11-episode run in February 2021. There is currently no word on how many episodes the third season will feature.

The show was created by Jeff Chiang and Nahnatchka Khan, the sister of WWE president and chief revenue Nick Khan, one of the most powerful people in professional wrestling.
