Last summer, Walt Disney Studios signed a new first-look deal with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Seven Bucks Productions to create films for theatrical and Disney+.

It’s been announced today that Seven Bucks Production has signed a new first-look deal with Disney’s 20th Television division.

As part of this deal, Seven Bucks Production’s television team, which is 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.

Seven Bucks Production has already made a show for Disney+, the theme park documentary series, “Behind The Attraction”, and is also working on a couple of movies, including “Monster Jam” and the live-action remake of “Moana”. The company is also behind Amazon’s “Red One”, “Baywatch” and “Young Rock”.

In a statement, Karey Burke, president of 20th Television said:

“There are few producers more synonymous with franchise-building than Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia. DJ is arguably the biggest star on the planet, whose unmatchable charisma, charm, and magical likeability is infused into the characters and stories that Seven Bucks brings to the screen. Seven Bucks has had an incredible run working with Disney on the film side and we are thrilled to continue this legacy at the television studio,”

Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia also said:

“Disney has been our trusted partner in storytelling and entertainment for years now, and we’re ecstatic to expand our partnership with them beyond film as we set out to work hard and achieve the same success in the television space,. In 20th Television we have a partner who matches our ambition, our passion, and our commitment to bring authentic, innovative content to audiences all over the world. Collaborating with Dana Walden, Eric Schrier, Karey Burke, Carolyn Cassidy, and the entire team at 20th Television feels like an unlimited opportunity for creative storytelling, and most importantly, entertaining a lot of folks out there.”
