Hijinks and shenanigans are parred for the course for the hit NBC sitcom “Young Rock,” but fans of the series may want to buckle in because the season finale will have plenty in store for the Johnson family.

The series which was first released in 2021, is produced by Jeff Chiang and Nahnatchka Khan and follows the multiple versions of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, as he navigated the world alongside his family and friends. The series follows four different timelines, the first following the youngest Rock affectionately known as Dewey being played by Adrian Groulx; the second timeline features a teenage Rock played by Bradley Constant; the third timeline features a young adult Dwayne played by Uli Latukefu. Lastly, of course, the future timeline is played by Dwayne himself. The four Dwaynes are joined by an ensemble cast made of Johnson’s family members, like Stacey Leilua who plays his mother, Joseph Lee Anderson as Rocky Johnson and Johnson’s grandmother, Lia Maivia (Ana Tuisila) and of course plenty of retro pop culture cameos.

With now three seasons almost under their belt and the season finale upon them, some of the cast members can’t believe they’ve made it this far.  

“Three seasons of “Young Rock” have flown by, [and] it feels like just yesterday I was in the casting office praying I could remember my lines,” Constant shared through email. ”But here we are at our season 3 finale and we have so much to be proud of. Our main goal was always to tell a real story that could make people smile and maybe inspire them along the way. I’d say we’ve accomplished that goal. ”
