TV-PGSeason 2
A comedy about a little kid who dreamed big.
Synopsis
Watch Young Rock (2022), Season 2 online on iFILM — twelve episodes of the NBC comedy where the 2032 version of candidate Johnson spools the memory tape again, this time tracing how a dead football dream turned into a wrestling career.
The show still juggles eras, but the weight has shifted. Tampa, 1995: with the NFL door shut, Dwayne talks his father Rocky into training him for the ring. From there it runs to Calgary, then a WWF debut in Texas where knowing the moves isn't enough — he has to make a cold crowd actually care. Hawaii, 1984, threads through underneath: grandmother Lia stands trial for extortion, and the promotion lands on Ata's shoulders while the case drags on. Nashville, 1987, catches his parents' marriage at a breaking point. By the finale all three timelines and election day 2032 fold into one question — what a person will trade to make his name mean something.
Showrunner Nahnatchka Khan packs in real WWF backstage lore: André the Giant, Miss Elizabeth, the rookie Rock himself. Season two runs tighter than the first and sharper with the jokes, without losing the family warmth underneath. Stream Young Rock Season 2 online on iFILM.
