Netflix is all ready to bring a Dwayne Johnson HBO classic on its platform

After ‘Insecure’, Another HBO Show Starring Dwayne Johnson to Make Its Way to Netflix

Netflix has brought in some must-watch from all over the world. Not only
exclusives, but the platform is expanding its reach by leasing content from
other renowned platforms. Just last month, the hilarious comedy-drama about an
African American woman’s experiences came on live on screen in Insecure. The
Issa Rae starrer series came to the platform with all five seasons. And
interestingly, exclusive reports by Variety in 2020 claimed that the Insecure
actress would partner up with Dwayne Johnson to create an HBO show about a
struggling pro-wrestler. 

Although further news about The Rock’s involvement in this mysterious project
titled “TRE-CNT” has not resurfaced, we can see the veteran WWE wrestler putting
his skills to use in yet another HBO show. And it is all set to make its way to
the streaming giant.


DWAYNE JOHNSON TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE ON NETFLIX WITH A COMEDY-DRAMA

The Home Box Office company has been known to remain exclusive with its content.
Very rarely did shows from their network ever make it to other platforms. Except
for a brief stint of pushing old work to Prime Video, the recent partnering up
of the two American streaming platforms came fresh. The Warner Bros.
Disney-owned HBO has opened up its licensing plates and will hand over some
famous titles to the streaming giant. And among those titles will be Dwayne “The
Rock” Johnson’s Ballers.

The show portrayed the life of an NFL player who switched up his career to be a
financial manager of other NFL players. With this show, Johnson strayed away
from his usual array of action films, making the new role of a mentor and
businessman very fun to watch. The 47 episodes that provided great comedic
relief will be added to the streaming giant on August 16.

Subsequently, many more top-shelf movies are making a bee-line for the OTT
platform. 


OTHER TITLES UP NETFLIX’S SLEEVE

Steven Spielberg’s classics have raked the fandoms for years. Be it Jurassic
Park or ET the Extra Terrestrial, the filmmaker is a stellar producer.
Even Barbie’s Margot Robbie used the ‘dinosaurs and Spielberg’ example

to convince Greta Gerwig to come on board. With the recent licensing,
Spielberg’s war-based Band of Brothers will make its way to Netflix.



In addition, another warfare project called The Pacific is set to follow
suit. Some other classic returns decided are 2001’s Six Feet Under and 2008’s
vampire drama True Blood.
