The Rock's Seven Bucks Productions Signs TV Deal With 20th Television And Disney TV Studios

The Rock doesn't apparently just want Cody Rhodes and his soul. He wants a big-money television deal with Disney as well.
Deadline first reported Dwayne Johnson's Seven Bucks Productions company signed a first-look TV deal with 20th Television. The entity is part of Disney TV Studios.
With the agreement, Seven Bucks is now fully under the Disney umbrella, as Johnson and his business partner Dany Garcia had signed a first-look movie deal for the company last summer.
Per the report:
Under the pact with 20th TV, part of Disney TV Studios, Johnson, Garcia, and Seven Bucks’ television team, led by President of Production Hiram Garcia, Head of Television Scott Landsman and EVP of Development & Production Kimberly Bialek, will develop and executive produce comedy, drama, adult animation, limited and unscripted series for linear networks and streamers, with an emphasis on platforms across Disney Entertainment Television.Deadline
Seven Bucks is currently actively engaged with film production on the Disney end already, producing the live-action remake of "Moana" in which Johnson will reprise his role as Maui. The company is also producing a live-action flick set within the world of Monster Jam.
