The Rock is developing Muscle Beach bodybuilding series for USA Network

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

As if The Rock wasn't already keeping busy enough, he's got another project to add to his overflowing plate.

This time Dwayne Johnson will be executive producing the scripted bodybuilding series MUSCLE BEACH that is currently in development for the USA Network. Set in an 80s bodybuilding gym in Venice Beach, the show "follows a colorful tribe of lost souls struggle to reinvent themselves by bench-pressing their way to a bigger, better American dream, no matter what the cost."

For more details on MUSCLE BEACH, let's turn to The Rock's announcement via Instagram:

I wouldn't hold my breath for Johnson to somehow make his way into starring, although who knows where his free time might be once the show finally makes it to air… If BALLERS doesn't last, there's always an opening. But given how insane The Rock's workout schedule is in order for him to maintain that massive build, and his history with something like PAIN & GAIN in the past, MUSCLE BEACH seems like a strong fit to be under his thumb. Plus, USA Network has put out a number of really compelling series to take notice of (MR. ROBOT, anyone?), so, suffice to say, a good deal all around.
