The Rock to Get His Own TV Series

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is getting his own TV series on HBO, according to a report by Deadine.com.

HBO has ordered a pilot for a half-hour "dramedy" produced by and starring the former WWE Champion. The project will "chronicles the lives of athletes - some retired some still active - living in Miami," including Johnson.

The project will be co-produced by Mark Wahlberg, who co-starred with Dwayne in the new "Pain & Gain" film.

Rock recently hinted at the project in his "Rock Talk" Twitter Q&A: "After Hercules, I'll partner up w/ Wahlberg - cool HBO project, then possibly FAST 7 - haven't decided yet on that. #RockTalk."

Filming is scheduled to begin this later this fall.
