Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia’s Seven Bucks Productions is teaming with Issa Rae’s Issa Rae Productions and HBO for the backyard wrestling series Tre Cnt (a.k.a. Tre Count).
Created by Mohamad El Masri (Here and Now), the series will revolve around a “working-class family, neighbors, and friends in Houston’s Third Ward (The Tre) who come together – pooling their talents, resources, savvy, and dreams – to build a unique hip-hop centric backyard-wrestling empire from nothing.”
Leading the show is the character of Cassius Jones, described as “a dock worker and struggling pro-wrestler, who uses inherited life-insurance money for start-up cash, and the deed to a shotgun house from his grandfather to start his American dream.”
Tre Cnt extends Seven Bucks’ TV output, which includes fellow HBO show Ballers, along with the recently announced Young Rock comedy series. Rae meanwhile is the creator and star of HBO’s comedy-drama Insecure.
