Here’s the trailer for The Rock’s new HBO series

Former Miami Hurricane and WWE Superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is starring in a new HBO series called Ballers. It’s a scripted comedy featuring Johnson playing an ex-football player who now works as a high-profile agent. It’s written by Stephen Levinson, who was one of the minds behind Entourage, so there’s reason to believe it could be good.

Plus, The Rock is actually a pretty great actor, but he’s been in so many mindless action movies that he’s not always had the chance to show it. Maybe this series will be that chance.
