Young Rock (Seasons 1–3)

Young Rock (2021) is an NBC comedy series you can watch online on iFILM, with Dwayne Johnson playing himself as an adult — and three younger actors handling different chapters of his life: Adrian Groulx, Bradley Constant, and Uli Latukefu.

The show moves between three timelines: early childhood in Hawaii and New Zealand, where his father Rocky Johnson was already a WWF star and the household included actual wrestling legends; a scrappier adolescence in Pennsylvania with petty crime and plenty of fights; and his college football years at the University of Miami playing alongside future NFL players. The framing device — a 2032 campaign interview with presidential candidate Dwayne Johnson — gives the whole thing a winking self-awareness that keeps it from turning into a straightforward biopic.

What makes it land is the family. The Johnsons are loud, close-knit, and genuinely entertaining on screen — Dwayne serves as executive producer and is essentially unlocking his own archives. It's lighter and warmer than most celebrity-origin stories. Stream all seasons of Young Rock online on iFILM.
